The other day I realized my corkscrew has a bottle opener on it. There's one down!


Why January Is the Time to Purge Your Kitchen of Unused Tools & Gadgets

ESPN360/ESPN3/WatchESPN or whatever they're calling it this week, has most of the live events ESPN airs. Notable omissions are Monday Night Football and NASCAR, but college football and basketball, NBA, MLB, MLS and European soccer and several more obscure sports and leagues are included.

Even new, you're paying 1/3 of the price for the headphones and 2/3 for the Monster markup and rapper endorsement.

Thirding Brother. I have a 2040 that's still on the original toner after five years.

I see the Boxee OTA adapter being of limited use; it doesn't turn the Boxee into a DVR and wouldn't you already have a tuner in your TV?

Comcast's STBs lose the guide data if they've been unplugged, and take a little while to re-download it. Similarly, DirecTV boxes take 10-15 minutes just to reboot if they lose power.

I just use a screen protector on my phone. Doesn't bother me if the rest of the thing gets scratched up. Thick cases make me think I'm carrying a paperback book in my pocket.


Do You Prefer Hefty & Protective or Sleek & Slim Cases?

Also, even sharing a protected connection with permission outside your dwelling is usually against the ISP's TOS. I doubt they'd do anything about it if you stay within all their other parameters (bandwidth caps etc.) but be aware.

If they have a printer shared, print something like "Your Wi-Fi is not secured, get that shizzle fixed before all your stuff is haxx0red. Call the router manufacturer or your internet provider for help"

I would. That'd be pretty f'n metal.

The Toys by Tam stand looks like they took the charger/receiver for Sennheiser's wireless phones and made a copy out of wood.

Personally I use a $2 3M Command hook on the wall...


High-End and Handsome Headphone Holders

I kept the discs but put them in albums.
I used disc pages for standard 3-ring binders and put the covers and booklets in sheet protectors right along with them. My collection used to take up an entire bookcase but now takes up one shelf.


Have You Purged Your DVD Collection Yet?

Some markets still have digital channels on VHF (mine has three!), and this antenna is UHF only. It may still work for the VHF stations depending on the usual factors, but it's not optimized to receive them.

I bought a Brother HL-2040 five years ago. Hundreds of pages later and still on the original toner.


Why a Monochrome Laser Printer Might Make More Sense

Right with ya. I have at least a dozen games I've bought and not played yet. A couple I haven't even opened!

@p_scheff The Logitech Harmony 890 comes with an IR repeater that communicates with the remote via RF, and it's around $200.
So the IR-only ones do cost less and you can use your existing remotes.
