I use a medium mesh spider to scoop out my popcorn. Works pretty good!

Love the Giaras but a clear wine bottle works just as well. $2 from Trader Joe's, and it comes with wine.

Piggybacking on keyboard shortcuts, text expanders are critical to my productivity. I use RapidKey on my work PC and TextExpander on my home Mac. One keyboard shortcut and long things (like canned e-mails) instantly appear, already typed for me.

Reeder for iOS. Evernote integration is the key. One tap and the whole post, not just the URL like with other readers, is imported into Evernote.

Bathtub toys. They get gross after a while and the dishwasher is an easy way to clean them. Most have built-in drainage holes, too.

I'm all about craiggers.com. I like the multi-city search and the multi-column navigation.

iOS has text expansion built in now.

I make shortcuts for frequently-typed phrases. So instead of typing "be home soon," I type "bhs" and the iPhone automatically replaces it with the full phrase. Very useful to avoid typing your e-mail address over and over again when logging into mobile sites.

I'm inspired to unplug tonight and hang out in the reading tent with my daughter. Good show.

I really miss the note-taking ability of Google Reader. Accessing my thousands of Unshared notes was tricky, but this helped http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/reader/thread?tid=717f3dfd86a125c8&hl=en.

Any recs to transition to Evernote?


How to Adapt to the New Google Reader

Hand position looks exactly like mine with the 3M Ergonomic Mouse. Best mouse I've ever used. My forearm pain is now 100% gone.

Anyone else think the Adapta looks like Oogie Boogie from Nightmare Before Christmas? No? Just me?

Hi everyone! Thanks for the helpful ideas! I love having eye-level artwork. We'll be sure to do that. The sofa chair is a great tip, too! It seems like a worthwhile splurge.

Our Super Room is a large rectangular room, about 30 ft. long and 20 ft. wide. In the far corner is the kitchen and dining room divided by an island. The rest of the room is open. We're converting the dining space into the work area, and moving the dining room table to the center of the room, against the wall. Lots of possibilities. We're excited to make it "our" space!

The Ikea Odda with Pull Out Bed is our ideal, but it's sold out everywhere. We also like the Oeuf Sparrow Twin with Trundle and the Ducduc Alex Trundle, but they're prohibitively expensive.

Can't anyone make a clean, MDF, modern trundle for under $500??

We are bad and run hot water in our sink before running the dishwasher. It's not green, but our dishes are a lot cleaner!
