Did you know that in US alone, more than 600 people are struck by lightning every year? Not all die, of course, but those who are lucky enough to survive, usually suffer from serious injuries. Electrical bolts can travel really fast — up to ten miles from a thundercloud. Unbelievable, huh? Well better believe it, [...]

Done with Thanksgiving? Move on to more pressing issues. And we don’t mean shopping for the Christmas holidays. If you still haven’t prepared your home for the winter, don’t put it off anymore at a later date. Snowflakes can be due anytime and you have to make sure that your home is safe and snug [...]

Even without fungi festering inside your shoes, feet tend to stink up because they just plain sweat too much. Think about it, you use your feet all the time. And because of much effort, it easily becomes one of the sweatiest parts of your body. Your sweat combined with the bacteria that’s pretty much everywhere, [...]

Thanksgiving is supposed to be a time for family. But you know family, chances are, you do have some annoying kin who are just too plain insensitive. So you might have to deal with them for a day during Thanksgiving. But what if you have some annoying family (or even friends) who are settling in [...]

One thing I do have to concede to with regard to my favorite browser is a memory hog. Limiting Firefox’s RAM usage is one of the stopgap measures that you can do but because of some latent problems, it will still inevitable leak memory. Firefox 3 promises to leak less memory but Firefox engineers [...]

A great source of overview information and a great past time to edit. But how about getting to read articles while not connected to the Internet? My style is to print pages as PDF and it works for me. But what if you don’t have a PDF printer? Here’s another way.
Thank goodness for the [...]

I’ve been making a lot of decisions lately and having been all too preachy on this blog has made me think hard about how I make these decisions. They’re not trivial decisions, mind you. They’re very concrete, very real, and its consequences are life-changing. While I wouldn’t go as far as enumerating them, I’m sure [...]

So it just might be out of season but I was sorting out stuff in the garage and found my old fishing reel. Sorry for the wave of nostalgia but I figured I’d write this post. Thought perhaps you can do something new yet classic? How about signing up for fishing lessons! Fishing can be [...]

One of the things you should know about your kid is whether or not he has asthma. Asthma can get worse if it’s not well-attended to. As someone who used to have asthma as a kid, it’s pretty tough and it’s pretty important to have some support at home.

How hard do you really work? Productivity guru Steve Pavlina once asserted that a regular person usually only does real work and hour a day and yet most of us complain about not having enough time to have a good time. Now this raises the question of the level of work that we really dish [...]

Firefox brought us perhaps the real best thing since sliced bread - tabbed browsing. Now why the heck should you hide the precious thing? I’d have to admit that I used to think that I’d rather not browse the web at all if I have to go back to the days of IE6 and [...]

I’m glad, that among my circle of computing friends, keyboard ninjitsu is now becoming a standard skill. As with many cases, not having to lift your hand from the keyboard to fiddle with your mouse (or any other pointing device for that matter) to execute commands is a lot quicker.
If you’re using Word and [...]

People are always after the best in everything – especially when it comes to good food. Of course there is always fast food in every corner, but burger and fries can be boring after a while. Instead of chomping on those whoppers, why not try something more tasty, and get a knack at culture too.

While many would think that a getaway for a second honeymoon can be refreshing for a couple, there are times when this can actually lead to marital stress. If the routine of normal life allowed you time away from each other doing things on your own, vacationing doesn’t really allow you to do just that. [...]

And each day we get closer to the new Firefox and what we have now is Beta 1 of Firefox 3. As with any Beta, expect bugs and what not. But the beauty about fiddling around with the Beta is that you get the feel of things to come - pretty handy if you’re [...]
