I tried to open a neigborhood grociery store. It didn't destroy my life, but I did lose a lot of respect for the local city officials. Imagine if you wanted to start a website, but you couldn't work from your home on it because your home

I worked in the electronics department of the Walmart in Moscow, ID one summer during college. I liked it much better than my previous (and first) job as a box boy at Albertsons. The pay was reasonable for someone of my age and ability, a

I too check the comments on suspiciously titled stories. I think it would be a worthy experiment to try to label linkbait. I find I often check the comments for stories first if I think the article might be long (from a magazine site like
