Electrical Cord Storage

Re-purpose (i.e. I love free) your used paper towel cardboard tubes to store extension cords where they can't mate with other cords to make a tangled mess.  

Slim Keyboard

Life's too short for a bad keyboard, such as the one on my work PC.  My less than $22 answer is this Kensington Advance Fit Full-Size Slim Keyboard which has so far impressed.

Chrome Cleanup Tool

Here's a quick and easy tool from Google to check your Chrome browser for potential problems.  Just download and run.  At the end you will have the chance to reset your browser settings, probably not what you want unless you're having severe problems.

Predictably Irrational

Predictably Irrational is one of the best books I've read in a long time, filled with experimental-based conclusions on our odd human behaviors, including why "free" is so powerful, social versus economic drivers and effects, and the power of instant gratification.

Trakline Belt

I just ran across this belt on KickStarter and just had to pre-order one. Solves (hopefully) the forever issue of belts that are either a little too tight or a little too loose.

Quick Temperature Search

A Google search with just "temp" is a quick way to bring up your local details.  Easy is good.

More Two-Factor Authentications

I've recently added two-factor authentication for my Amazon and Dropbox accounts.   After it's setup, I just enter, one time, the 6-digit code displayed by my Google Authenticator app on any new device, and I'm doubly protected.

Mushroom Farmer

I expected to get a bunch of little mushrooms growing from this mini farm, but got one huge, and still growing, monster.  Still growing a mushroom in a cardboard box is pretty cool.

Silicone Spray

We use this stuff on our shower curtain bars, door hinges and any place that spiders want to spin their webs.  But the best use recently was getting a metal cocktail shaker unstuck. A couple squirts ... wait for it ... and it easily slid apart.  Simply amazing stuff.

Double-Click The Fill Handle

I work in Excel analyzing data ... a lot.  Copying and pasting a formula into thousands or ten of thousands of rows has been a slow, thorn-in-the-backside, operation for years.  Then today I run across this "fill handle", which reduces my efforts to a single double-click.  I don't know if I want to jump for joy at all the hours I'll save or weep a bucket of tears for all time I've already wasted.
