Review of you
I tried online dating a little and had mixed results. Some of the biggest issues were profiles that were wildly inaccurate, replete with pictures that were clearly taken 15 years earlier. So, what could be better than a site that reviews online profiles at three of the most popular dating sites? It's initially a hokey idea, but I didn't really think eBay's rating system would prove to be a sound business model either.
Keeping it cleanLots of guides on how to keep your Windows computer safe and secure are multipage techno-rambles. Some are even blatant sales pitches for products that might not be the best solution. If you'd like an easy-to-read guide that's low on high-tech terms, this might be the page for you. It favors both open source and free software. The current incarnation of this page doesn't require you to spend money on any of the recommendations. Heed this great advice if you know what's good for you and your computer.

iPods closer to the affordable end tend to miss out on nifty things like the office desk/charging stand. When I bought my 20-gigabyte model and discovered the stand was missing, friends had to take turns sitting with me until I calmed down. Gosh, if only this printable guide to making your own iPod stand had been available then. All it takes is time, a desktop printer, cardboard, scissors and sticky tape.

Laptops, by their nature, are built on the idea that you pack a lot into a small case. This means that cooling air has a hard time flowing around cramped spaces, and modern processors tend to run hot. It's a recipe for seared thighs if you're not careful. Yes, the time for these laptop legs are nigh. They're stick-on blobs of plastic that elevate the back of the computer, help adjust your typing position and allow better airflow. At $19.95, they may possibly prolong the life of your computer as extra hot is not extra good for computers. Nifty.
A perfect shaveBeing really hairy has its benefits: It saves hard-earned cash on winter coats and, well, that's about it, really. It does mean that you tend to make shaving a six-times-a-week affair and really pay attention to what you're doing. Having run the gauntlet of disposable and electric razors, I almost agree with this entertaining article about the ups and downs of shaving. If you're a 20- or 30-something that hasn't quite got the shaving thing down, I have a feeling you're going to enjoy this quite a bit.
