Quick Stat, Look at All the Outlook Users
Here’s an interesting statistic I just stumbled upon. A quick look at the email clients being used by the initial subscribers to our newsletter GD Weekly shows that over 66% are using one version or Outlook or another. When you add in the 16.7% using Hotmail (people still use Hotmail???) you quickly see how few [...]
Elana and the Four Speck Cases for iPhone 4S
With sincerest apologies to “Goldilocks and the Three Bears”. Once upon a time there were four Speck iPhone cases that arrived for review. One was a FabShell Burton, one was a FabShell, one was a CandyShell and the other was CandyShell Grip. Each had its own style and form. The timing was right, as Elana [...]
Organize Your Seeds with a Seed Organizer Binder Kit
I collect seeds when I find interesting plants in the reproductive stage where seeds can be gathered. Usually I am pretty good at remembering what I collected (and why), but recently I stumped myself. I had gathered some seeds and put them in a bag, and at some point (months later, I’m sure) mislabeled them “Mexican [...]
Is Amazon Spying on Me?
I know I buy a great deal from Amazon, but I am starting to think they have hidden cameras in my house! You see, back in January I ordered a box of KIND bars for our trip to Costa Rica. We figured with all the flights, layovers, and bus transfers in our travel schedule, we [...]

How Much Gear Is Too Much?
(image courtesy Zazzle) I have jury duty this week. My only other experience with jury duty was in Boston, and I remember sitting all day in a cramped room reading a book, and almost escaping being put on a jury. So I am anticipating a long day of “hurry up and wait” and have begun [...]

Paid-Up MobileMe Subscribers Get to Keep Their Free 20GB for 3 Months More!
When MobileMe turned into iCloud, those of us who had dumped hundreds of dollars into the service hoped that Apple would ‘throw us a bone’ for the years of loyalty. And they did – we got the 20GB storage level for free until June 2012. Here is the section from the FAQ: MobileMe members with [...]

SNL Parodies Amazon and the Kindle (NSFW!)
Sarah and I started watching “Saturday Night Live” again recently because one of our favorite sketch comedians, Kate McKinnon, joined the cast. Thank goodness for DVR, as it lets us skip the less entertaining sketches easily. It also allows us to re-watch the truly hysterical ones, like their flat-out brilliant parody of Amazon and “50 [...]

“Sherlock” Season 2 Comes to the US This Sunday!
Your typical Sherlock Holmes fan is a strange breed–loving stories written nearly a century and a half ago, at the height of the British Empire, set in Victorian London. You can find Holmes fans who love the Basil Rathbone films, and those that hate them; those that think the Downey/Jude Law/Guy Ritchie were awesome, and [...]
May the 4th Be With You as Donny & Marie Do Star Wars!
If you go back 35 years to the late 70′s, it seemed that everyone had a variety show – and one of the best things was that they were all live. I loved watching the Carol Burnett show, and one of the best parts was that Harvey Korman could never keep a straight face once [...]
McSweeney’s Guide to Airline Passenger Profiling
You’ve heard about racial profiling, but how about pants profiling? Oh, you hadn’t heard of it? That’s okay, neither had I … until I found myself nodding and chuckling as I read the list of what to expect from other passengers on a flight — based on the type of pants they were wearing! Wool [...]
