» Moving your Contacts and Calendar Away from Google. Excellent step by step instructions, including updating your Android phone. Considering how many useful services they are removing I'm not feeling much like sharing anything with them anymore. #
» Hilton Has Too Many Brands. Not sure it really matters as long as it's easy to tell which is part of which brand (Marriott has a few too) so that you can easily get your points... #
» Heresy In Library Organization. Interesting idea but I've got a pretty decent system going in Lightroom and don't have a desire to change (though I admit I could keyword better.) I also maintain a good tree structure in my filesystem that lets me find things without having to into Lightroom (handy when reaching across a network to grab a file or two...) #
Buried in the more than 800 pages of the bipartisan legislation is language mandating the creation of the innocuously-named “photo tool,” a massive federal database administered by the Department of Homeland Security and containing names, ages, Social Security numbers and photographs of everyone in the country with a driver’s license or other state-issued photo ID.

As the movie was ending and applause filled the theater, the BMX stunt kids filled with pride, waited for their names to scroll up during the end credits. They never did. None of the eight BMX stunt riders were ever credited. Apart from a couple of articles in BMX magazines, the stunt kids whose work for the chase scene launched untold thousands of BMX riders were lost to history.
» Why Does the Senior Citizen Discount Still Exist?. Love the comments, one guy bitches that the older generation won't retire so that his generation can have their jobs, while in the same comment bitching about having to pay their Social Security. So which is it, do you want them to give you their jobs and you can pay for them, or do you want them to keep their jobs so you don't have to pay for them? #
» VNC over GIF. Wow, I wonder what the performance on that it. Clever trick though. #
» Can I help you? Why retail customers always say no. I'd heard it best from a comedian years ago - men don't shop, they purchase. I usually refuse help because I know exactly what I want (the most help I take is if they will tell me where the thing is...) #
» MotorBicycling. I was looking for an electric bike for the girlfriend and came across an actual bicycle that had a 2-stroke engine on it, which kinda led me here. #
