I was baking at my parents’ apartment recently and pulled out their wax paper to line a cookie sheet. When I tore some off, I noticed a message pierced into the paper that read “TIME TO BUY CUT-RITE.” They use a different brand than I do so I had never seen this before. The paper [Keep Reading…]

Lately I’ve been noticing a problem with my dishwasher, so I thought I’d ask Twitter: Not surprisingly, I got a lot of great advice. Here’s [Keep Reading…]
Twitter Redesigns Follower and Following Pages
Today Twitter launched a redesign of the Following and Followers pages. By default the Expanded view is displayed, but you can switch to the List view in the top left: It’ll still show you 20 people per page, but without the location and last tweet sent. On the right side of each username are two [Keep Reading…]
