  • I have similar Pandora/Amazon Music stations set up. I also have a Pandora station based on Miles Davis. I like the Atticus Ross and Trent Reznor soundtracks, and I have this page bookmarked: http://musicforprogramming.net/

  • What kind of web site/features do you need? Relatively basic HTML/CSS/Javascript, Wordpress, or somewhere in between?
  • The Suprisingly Awesome podcast just did an episode on mattresses (https://gimletmedia.com/episode/12-mattresses/). Their conclusion: Just find one that's comfortable for you. You don't gain anything by spending more money. We've been using an Ikea…
  • Just found this today. If you're using an iPhone, you can record calls to your voicemail if you have three-way calling available. Then you can export your voicemail recordings to your computer. http://www.idownloadblog.com/2016/04/01/how-to-record-…
  • Thanks for the ideas! I'll start contacting some of these folks.
  • The National Archives makes Census data public after 72 years. You can look at records from the 1940 Census here: http://1940census.archives.gov.
  • Our offer was just accepted on a house in NC! The listing isn't available, but there's a YouTube video that includes some photos (our decor will be a little different, though): We expect to move in in mid-April. If you're around the Outer Banks a…
  • We don't have much on our list, yet. We've just started researching what to do in the city. We'll be in Helsinki for two days, then are taking an organized trip north for the rest of the week. The trip north includes a night in a snow hotel, some ti…
  • @flossy_log_lady, I appreciate your restraint ;) Honestly, though, it's so early in the process that right now we're just looking at a few places around town trying to figure out what we actually want. There's not too much on the market here in Man…
  • Post agent meeting update: We looked at three houses, each in a different neighborhood. Nothing wowed us, but we won't be moving until spring, so we've got some time to browse and get to know the area better.
  • There was a recent Reply All episode about microdosing: https://gimletmedia.com/episode/44-shine-on-you-crazy-goldman/

  • Sarah and I are meeting with a real estate agent tomorrow! 100 percent of Merrill bros may soon be homeowners. Weird.
  • Maybe you can rent some freezer space (or start a freezer space rental side-business): http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/09/22/442441773/a-carnivores-solution-to-space-constraints-the-meat-locker
  • The fight scene between Gene and The Falcon was so good. Better fight choreography than a lot of shows that are trying to be serious.
  • Which kind of Old Spice are you using? I've tried the white, powdery sticks, but experienced some dryness/irritation. I've been using the blue "high endurance" kind for years and don't recall any issues.

  • Where do you most often check UHX? a) computer What sort of (smart)phone do you have? iPhone 6(-) Do you use UHX just "once a day" or do you check in multiple times a day? a couple of times per day during the week; maybe once per day on weekend…

  • Not much happening here in Philly, snow-wise. We got an inch or two, maybe, but the roads are almost all clear today. Buses seemed to be running normally this morning but traffic was lighter than usual.
  • Noise-cancelling headphones will change your life on an airplane. They dramatically reduce the engine noise so you can listen to your music/podcast/movie at a reasonable volume. Even if I'm not listening to anything, I'll keep them on just to cut t…
  • I just finished reading "The War for Late Night," about NBC's debacle over The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien and Jay Leno. It was great!

  • Apparently Microsoft is about to buy Mojang (Minecraft): http://online.wsj.com/news/article_email/microsoft-near-deal-to-buy-minecraft-1410300213-lMyQjAxMTA0MDAwOTEwNDkyWj I'm not sure what that will mean for Minecraft. Hopefully not the same thi…

  • I thought Vessyl was a parody video until the last 30 seconds or so. Every quote also applies to a clear glass cup. When one of them talks about the simple line that tells you how much you've drank -- it's the horizontal line at the top of the liqu…

  • The building-height restriction is a large part of why it costs so much to live in DC. It severely limits availability of housing in the District. This results in a limit to the number of residents paying city taxes in DC and forces people to commut…
  • I rented a tent canopy for a party last year and it wasn't too expensive (but I did have to drive way out to the 'burbs for pick up/drop off). I had the smallest size -- 10' by 10' -- and I set it up myself without any trouble.

  • I had a 4-year-old Black MacBook (not "Pro") when I started grad school a couple years ago. I wanted to buy a new computer for school, but couldn't afford the $1,300 or so. I upgraded to a solid state hard drive ($200-ish, at the time) instead and i…
