Well, this video shows you how to do exactly that. All you really need is a mixer, a bowl, and a spoon. To me, that is a lot less stressful than having to maintain one of the more official all-in-one ice cream machines that you can purchase for upwards of $100, and requires lots of maintenance to use properly. The secret behind these ice cream recipes is their simplicity. Once you mix the ice cream base, all you have to do is get your additives (Oreo cookie pieces, strawberry flavoring, etc), and mix it with the base in a bowl....

The difference between the value of mice and antelopes is important when we think about our our daily to-do lists....

This is so simple, I’m almost embarrassed to put it out as a hack. I took a Sharpie and I made a big giant visible BLACK MARK on the side that had to face me when the cord is slotted correctly. I repeated this for every USB cable I use with my computer. Now? It just works like buttah baby. Bonus: I have lots of USB cables for various things (camera, iRiver, iPod, PDA, etc)....

Multi-tasking; it seems that people are going to have big debates about this topic until the end of time. Recently, a book came out that claimed to “bust” the multi-tasking myth – as many authors have done over the decades. It’s nothing new. And the blog posts that spring up saying nothing but, “this is nothing new,” are nothing new either. Let’s get a little perspective here. I think in most situations where some pocket of humanity is forming an opinion, we have a truth that is somewhere in the middle, and then two extreme, polarized opinions based on opposite sides of that less extreme reality....
