1) Cooking is not rocket science. You definitely can do it (and billions of people on this planet know how to do it). Find a nice recipe book and follow the instructions carefully. Good cooking m...

Most other people were simply "blind-sided".

The thing that sort of bugs me about HDTV is that it is difficult to set up the TV optimally for different channels. I set up my TV using a DVD optimizer and things looked great. On most of my TV...

The cost comes from the gold bars buried beneath the slate.

Why "no searing"? Surely you can do that on an electric stove. Is it by choice?

I built one very similar to the one in the picture. Actually, mine is a hack of a design in Todd Oldham's Handmade Modern book.

The big problem is that people expect that when they pay x amount of money, they will get x amount of product. I hope that people don't forgo the cartridges because they think they are getting sho...

This is such a beautiful book. I'd love to try to recreate the recipes then take pictures and upload them for all to see.

Getting to spend time with my girlfriend in my house makes it beautiful.

Whenever I receive a new piece of software or hardware, I always go through the options and preferences. I always learn about some sort of functionality that I wouldn't otherwise know.

These are totally cool. I want to redo my closet and I think these might fit the bill.

This is great. I would love to start my day off with tea, but I need it to work while I'm in the shower. Fantastic. I want to try it with my favorite rooibos tea.
