I'm no fan of his, but he has been getting a lot of hate lately. After the signs[1] at his home, I imagine he's a little rattled. [1] http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/fcc-chairman-ajit-pais-fam...

Last time I priced out Eyeglasses from Zenni, Warby Parker etc, they came out to be within a percent or so of Costco. It took a bit to figure out all the measurements so I was comparing like for like (thickness of lense, etc), and I do hav

I've had an Anova for about a year. We use it a couple times a week. I've had a hard time getting fish and lamb chops cooked correctly, and this makes it easy. I also use it for steaks and chicken breasts. I buy them in bulk,

A couple years after I moved to Seattle I started noticing some odd aches and pains. After a coworker had similar issues, I went to the doctor, and they tested my Vitamin D levels. They were ridiculously low. They had me on a high initia

It worked exactly as I hoped. I couldn't figure out why some domains I were expecting to show up weren't, but searching by email reminded me that I need up update some of my whois info due to a name change.
