It’s summertime and temperatures in Chicago are getting around 100 degrees. It would be so much fun to have a snowball to throw at someone right now. So next winter, I want to pack like six snowballs and keep them…

We all know that dart guns are fun at work. They should be a standard office equipment of any good corporate America worker. Right next to your stapler and scissors is your dart gun. Here’s one way to target higher…

How much electricity do you use? And what type of place do you live in? I currently use an average of 6.5 kWh daily and I live in a 750sq ft one-bedroom apartment. I was shocked when looked at my…

Speaking of big stuff from yesterday, my color laser printer arrived. It’s so huge! It came in a 32″ long x 22″ wide x 22″ high box weighing in at 88 lbs. Mr. T was having quite a hard time…

In December I bought a used vertical file cabinet at a thrift store for ten dollars. What a find! It was literally an answer to a prayer (the filing cabinets we looked at other places were $75 and up). The…

Ever wonder where people sell your name to when you fill out a request form or profile form online? Here’s a trick that I do: When filling in your first name put something unique after your name. i.e. my full…

A friend at work and I were talking about Vanilla Ice and Snow’s name came up. Y’know the guy who did that reggae song, “Informer” in the mid 90s. Lo and behold iTunes actually sells it from the 12 inches…
