Do More With Less | A Conversation About The Pacific Crest Trail. A way better thru-hiking movie than the one I linked to the other day about the AT.     #>

QromaScan: Digitize and Organize Prints Using Your Smartphone and Voice. Basically a small light tent for your cell phone, for most people I'd think this would be great. At $40 it's certainly priced right.     #>

Youtube has finally destroyed their RSS feeds. The developer-hostility from Google is mind-boggling sometimes. This is from 5 months ago and it still pisses me off to read, why make the user experience actively worse? Just to drive page loads? Doesn't matter if I decide to not bother watching a video, so you'd think giving me a self-selected feed would be better than a giant "f-u, use the Subscriptions page or nothing".     #>

JetsRUs carburetor parts. Mostly bookmarked for myself for later, I'm pretty sure the little SR250 I bought needs to be re-jetted, it runs best while choked...     #>

Denver Health Travel Clinic. Great for things like immunity shots for yellow fever. They have a nice breakdown of what is required and/or recommended for places you may be going (Yellow Fever came up for South Africa). If I were going to riskier places I'd be all over this (of course some things are courses of shots over several weeks, which doesn't really fit in with how much time work tells me in advance...)     #>

. I really like how this came out and now I'm thinking about breaking out the welder and re-making my current desk (it fits well into a corner, which means it has excellent space for my feet). Not really happy with the "laminate sticker over particle board" look of what I currently have, and making it out of metal frames means I could open up some of the solid spaces as well as made it more modular. Seriously thinking about it now...

Slow Cooker Balsamic Mushroom and Chicken Stroganoff. Made this the other day and really liked it (especially over egg noodles). Unfortunately had too much vinegar for the girlfriend so she didn't appreciate it, but that meant I got four meals for myself out of it...     #>

Crock Pot Ham. Giving this a go right now, my ham barely fit inside my slow-cooker. Did have to go buy pineapple juice this morning which was in a can, then I realized I needed to figure out if I still had a church key (I did, it was in the drawer where I expected it should be, even though I haven't used it in more than 10 years...)     #>

Socialite is an up-coming app that takes the idea of CRM (Customer Relationship Management) and brings it to your own personal life. We've all met people that we should know their name but can't remember, or only remember them from some context - "you know, that one guy from that party who talked about fly fishing..." I have no idea how well it works but it could be worth the money for someone like me who meets to many people (in so many countries) that I have trouble remembering everyone.     #>

Two really interesting visuals about your life and life expectancy: mori and Population.io. Population.io really brings some things home, apparently I am older than 68% of the worlds population, but I certainly don't feel like it!     #>

1DollarScan will scan your books and magazines for (roughly) a buck. I say roughly since there are some add-ons, and the first dollar only counts to the first 100 pages. Still, if you have something out of print that you just want a PDF copy of this seems like a reasonable way to go. Not sure if they send you the original back or not though.     #>

HDD Guardian for SMART data. Free tool to read the S.M.A.R.T. data for your computer's hard drives. I had a drive I pulled out of a laptop I was thinking about re-purposing but after grabbing the data off it found it was near death. Now I'll disassemble it to get some cool photos and strong magnets...     #>
