    PSA: it snows in the winter

    If you were in Ohio last year, we can't complain that much - I think with the windchill it hit -40 degrees on the worst night.

    See what a group of engineers did to encourage people to use the stairs in Stockholm

    I never thought I would be jealous of a staircase, but I am.

    Amazon shipping cost, free is not actually free?

    I'm a big fan of the no-rush shipping $1 ebook credit. Too bad it still isn't also good for physical books like it was before Christmas.

    Mattress recommendations

    I wish I would've checked out Sam's Club or BJ's when I bought my last mattress. From what I hear, you can get name brand quality bed sets there for 75% cheaper compared to strip-mall mattress stores or department stores.

    GOLD predicted to be $50,000 per ounce next year.

    Sadly, there is probably more than one person on Earth who would actually sink their retirement for that unicorn after seeing that advertisement!

    GOLD predicted to be $50,000 per ounce next year.

    Doubtful...but if it ever hits anywhere close to $50k, make sure to look to buy some of Powershares Double-Gold Short ETF shares (dzz) to really strike gold on the way down. These inverse ETFs allow you to bet against metals and commodities.

    Monoprice Premium 5.1 Speakers: $164 shipped (until 2/3)

    Still $183 - the shipping killed it for me.

    XFX DD R9 290 - $220 after $30 MIR @ Newegg

    Is Newegg faster with their MIRs than Tiger Direct? I always lose track of Tiger Direct MIRs because they take so long.

    Text editing shortcuts?

    Even though the command key replaced the apple key, it still would be useful. I've been using a mac for some time and have to take a second look occasionally.

    YAIRSWT: Yet Another iMessage Randomly Stopped Working Thread

    It would be nice to figure this out, I've had this problem as well.
