It seems like every couple of months, we get a new postal carrier. Our house isn’t hard to find, but the numbering conventions are such that new mail carriers have a hard time finding our mailbox and our door. It’s rea...
Cinemagraphs are a very cool type of photograph that creates the illusion of a “living” photo. Most of the photo stays static, while a small element moves. For example, a cinemagraph might feature a woman holding a pin...
At this point, I’m not really interested in using a to do list or task management app that isn’t cross-platform. Even though I do most of my work from home, I like being able to make adjustments to my to do list on the...
One of my writing gigs involves putting together GIF recaps of popular TV shows. I generally use a web-based client to convert video clips into GIF files. The web-based service I use lets you adjust the frame rate, and also lets y...
You know why self-help books are so popular? Because human beings are never really satisfied. I can’t name a single friend in my social circle who isn’t trying to change something about their appearance, or learn a new...

In school, we are often taught that the best way to retain information is to take notes. But written notes aren’t always the best option for students. Some students are not great notetakers, due to attention span or inabilit...
If I had to guess, I’d say that modern technology has made it harder to keep a relationship together. Cheaters have more avenues for finding partners than ever before, while even a solid relationship can come to a screeching...
In high school, my best friend had this great classic Impala. It was in pretty good shape, save for the gas gauge. It didn’t work at all, so my friend always kept a notebook in the car to track when she last filled up, how m...
I’m not that good at hanging on to receipts. Well, I guess I should say that I don’t care about most of my receipts, but I am exceptionally good at hanging on to the ones that matter. Case in point: a couple of weekend...
