    Recommend me a wristwatch

    I'd recommend: Seiko Black Monster Automatic Dive Watch or Seiko Orange Monster Automatic Dive Watch The Seiko Diver's 200 Meter SKX779 Chunky, dive watch at 43mm case size, with a hefty, oyster-like bracelet. They're different from your current collection. Orange Monster if you want...

    I love the outside part of the Ribeye. What's it called?

    It's called the cap (or ribeye cap, or spinalis dorsi).

    OMG my damn home button is messed up!!!!!!!!

    Yeah, works for me. Have to re-do it every now and then. You might even hear a click. The contacts or something on the button and board get loose. I figured I had nothing to lose since the thing hardly worked. Wasn't gentle at all. New phone hopefully in the next month or so.

    OMG my damn home button is messed up!!!!!!!!

    What works for me is sticking in the cord into the bottom of the phone and pushing up on it from underneath, essentially pushing the board up to the home button. If you're in a pinch, you can even stick a credit card in and underneath. I found this tip somewhere while Googling a fix. The...

    Alarm clock with iDevice dock

    I got this one:Yamaha TSX-70BG Desktop Audio System for iPod/iPhone (Beige) It's expensive but I like it a lot. Smallish footprint, good audio quality for the size, decent sized amber display (not ridiculously bright at night), AM/FM radio, remote control for iPod, sleek retro look.

    Protecting a wristwatch face?

    I'd just use a product called Polywatch to polish the plastic crystal every now and then. A brushed stainless steel band can be "polished" with a Scotchbrite pad.

    Question for Fantasy Baseball Players

    Yep, it's strategy. I've done something similar and was accused of being cheap/cheating by someone new to the league. It's how the game is played.

    Premade Pesto vs making it yourself from a packet

    Ugh. That seems like making Tang and calling it orange juice.

    OMG Five Guys Burgers coming to Canada

    I can't wait to try Five Guys again. They have one here in the San Diego area but its on a Naval base. They're supposed to open up another off base, it's still "coming soon!". It's a good burger. Like others, my first impression was that it tasted homemade. The selection of additional...

    Kick- ass rock songs fronted by women.

    Yes! And another: Pretenders - Precious. Original lineup Chrissie Hynde kicked serious ass.

    cooks, need your advise: All Clad or Calphalon

    I'd get the All-Clad and as already advised, expand the set as needed.

    Screen Protectors for iPhone

    Add another vote for the PS crystal film. I used to use the PS anti-glare film. Its advantages were obviously the anti-glare and it hid fingerprints well, but it wasn't as pretty and it seemed like the sensitivity wasn't as good. Eventually, I thought about going without a screen protector but...

    Help me find a flashlight

    My job requires me to take readings and inspections in dark and low-light conditions. Even though the low setting is low lumens, it's still very good since it focuses the light well and the light is very white and provides high contrast. The high setting is very impressive. My co-workers have...
