   I like the calendar icon from the top and don't like the lettering on the bottom one but favor the more traditional style of the bottom one otherwise.

   In a pinch, standard silicone earplugs work extremely well when you disregard the instructions and slowly push them deep inside your ear canal until you have a perfect seal. With the Bose noise cancelling earphones, it's actually considered

    I'm very curious to see how this kind of thing scales. I've yet to see what I think are truly sustainable plans for vertical farming but I'm hoping they come soon.

    It takes a while to figure out the traffic flow in Berkeley, but basically most streets except for main arterial roads have some form of periodic traffic calming. So some of the bicycle boulevards have speed bumps, some have traffic circles

    I definitely prefer Google Docs for presentation creating and non-reference heavy word processing, but I find spreadsheets is where Google Docs comes up short compared to Microsoft's product.
