Exactly what I was going to say! I scuba dive, and whenever I've moved to a new city the first thing I do is meet up with the local scuba diving club(s). A sports/activity/social club is a great way to meet like-minded people

I started out with Evernote, but had issues with multi-device sync (I think that when faced with anything that even remotely resembled a conflict it would just duplicate the note). Actually started using OneNote and have been very happy wit

We had a thermostat that was just plain confusing to program, plus it was damned ugly. I am not sure if the Nest has saved me any money but it looks a lot nicer on the wall than our old thermostat, and really is nice and easy to use! I stil

I replaced one of my smoke detectors with a Protect, planning to replace another. Just really like the look of the product, plus the pathlight feature (it shines a light for you at night if you walk past it) which is a nice plus.

Found a workaround for Windows Phone: In settings, go to region and change Country/Region to United States. Restart phone, go to Store, and you'll see Microsoft Health in there. After installing you can change your regional settin

If you're using a browser that supports geolocation (and you enable this) then it will find your location. Otherwise it uses an IP address-based lookup. The one I'm using at the moment is free though, and patchy. :( Sorry it didn&
