Similar product, I like the execution of this one a bit better. Also doubles as an iPhone stand! https://www.buytheta.com/

Really?! No mention of one of these elastic tethers? Like the most basic and makes it literally impossible to lose your cap. Under $4 at Target. http://www.target.com/p/universal-lens-cap-keeper-1-x3-75-x5-4/-/A-13724289.

Small correction, while ABT sells largely online, they are (for those of us in the Chicago area) a WONDERFUL store, full of incredibly knowledgeable staff, helpful family owners who work the floor, great customer service, and the most amazing appliance+ store I've been in. When we bought a new house and needed all new appliances, 1 salesperson was able to walk me through every department, knew everything about every model, price matched everyone else and on top of that gave a package deal.
One time I had a rare, less than a great experience, and after sending an email, Ricky Abt (one of the owners) called up to apologize, sent me a check compensating for 25% of my purchase price (off a $400+ stand-up freezer!) and gave me his cell number with instructions to call whenever I needed appliance assistance. I would make the 30 minute trip out there any day before buying anywhere on line.

Seriously?! People think having PVC in the general vicinity of a child will harm them? Really? It's not radioactive. Don't put it in your mouth. Much like many other things around the house and in the world.

GoTasks is a great (and free) Google Tasks based task manager, nice option set, and meaningful updates.

If you have a lot of the same kind of pieces (a few chairs, a set of drawers), do it assembly line style. Do the same step to each thing over and over, you'll find it goes much faster, u don't forget what goes where, and you remember the assembly better.

Have you ever had to deal with Photo proofs from a wedding? How files from design work? Family pictures from an event? Any video shot with an HD camera? Fact of the matter is, I deal with having to share file sizes like this every day. It's nice to know if my client is going to receive my email, of what I need to use to send it.

Just a slight correction about the whole Kosher thing, everything food related in a Kosher house is kosher, and with kosher, meat and dairy don't mix, even in the dishwasher. So more correctly, one dishwasher would be for meat dishes, the other for dairy. And yes, I keep kosher and would love the space for a second dishwasher. A bunch of my kosher friends have one as well.

A nice tidbit I picked up from a professor in college, when I date stuff I do YYMMDD, this way when I sort by name, stuff will get sorted in chronological order by date as well, even across multiple years. If there's 2 files with the same name in one day (I'm a designer-revisions), the second gets a "b" at the end of the date, and so on. For instance "Budget091201" will come before "Budget100101", but if Month were first, I'd be out of order.

I too am a dropbox lover, but there is no doubt, a flash drive is faster for sharing where you don't have dropbox installed, and signed into your name. THough tI'm more of a fan of the Lacie imakey and such.
