President-elect Obama is looking to axe the controversial daylight savings time (DST). I've always had a great sense of time so I have never had a problem with DST. However, I do get a bit sad every spring as we lose an hour. How about you? Do you think we should join the ranks of Arizona and the majority of the world by eliminating the practice? Via Boing Boing....
Continue readingI love DYI projects and am a big proponent of small, one-man/mom-and-pop shops. However, I never caught the Etsy craze because there is just so much stuff on there! Alas, I have no need to worry. Fellow bloggers often come to the rescue by sorting out the best and the most interesting, saving my lazy ass from doing the task myself.

After tasting the result, he says he wants some chicken wings. Watch the hilarity ensue as my favorite rapper from the 90s meets my girl Martha! I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Martha Stewart Blogger Show, now I'm wishing Snoop was there as the special guest!...
Continue readingAs much as I *heart* my LG Voyager (especially its rockin' Navigation system), I do get tempted to by the lusciousness that is the iPhone. In particular, the Safari browser. Although LG and Verizon like to tout the Voyager's browser as a fully functioning HTML decoder, the fact remains that it doesn't work too well with anything other than HTML. CSS rendering is unreliable and JavaScript is a hit or a miss. My phone has also developed a nasty habit of automatically shutting off whenever it encounters a page heavy with JavaScript/AJAX. *Throws tantrum* So whenever I see yet another cool app for the iPhone, like the Numberkey, I end up emotionally cheating on my Voyager. Can you tell I have a weakness for simple solutions...
