I realized that I don't have one, and its about time I become a bit more organized. I'm thinking of using OneNote. Any suggestions regarding alternatives? Also, what are some of your 'must have' productivity softwares?

Does anyone have experience with this software? I'm currently in the search for a itunes alternative to manage my Ipod.

I went to get a haircut yesterday and my barber commented on how much my hair has thinned out. So when I came home and I gave my hair a closer inspection, and finally realized how much density my hair has lost over the last few years. My hairline has also receded by quite a bit. Now I'm starting...

Any suggestions for a good wireless router? I just bought a Linksys WRT150N (still unopened) but upon reading some of the reviews I may send it back to the retailer.

So I just finished watching Smokin' Aces and I'm speechless....what a piece of $hit of a movie it was..Crappy dialogue, crappy pacing, and mind-numbingly stupid plot. Joe Carnahan just lost all the respect he gained with Narc. All the ranting made me forget to rate it: 1.5/10

Looks like I'm winning.

I'm sure that many of us with office jobs experienced boredom when the workload eases up (or become non-existent). Countless hours can be spent pushing the refresh button on Head-Fi, but every now and then pulling a harmless prank on your colleague can be just as entertaining. So feel free...

Since iTunes does not support FLAC, I always have to go through the trouble of converting my FLAC into ALAC, which is both cumbersome and a waste of precious hard drive space. I'm seriously considering converting and storing all my music into apple lossless. Anyone else here use Apple...

Currently watching the Cubs/Arizona game. Hernandez walks 3 in a row in the 5th inning. 1 out and DeRosa hits into a double play. CHOKE.

Does anyone know a good, free, screen snapshot software? Thanks.

I'm thinking of downloading CS off Steam. Which version should I get? Someone at work told me to stick to the old 1.6, although IMO it seems a little outdated. Opinions?

Looks like they'll lose to the Marlins . 7 game lead for the NL EAST is now down to 1. Absolutely brutal. Getting swept by the Nationals is just plain embarrassing. What's going on METS????

Here are my recommendations. The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich This is classic book by William Shirer in a single volume account of the history of Nazi Germany. I first read this book during the summer after my freshman year in high school, and have recently decided to read it...

I'm starting to really love my 580s with cardas v2 cable. Now I'm wondering whether I should make the move into the 600s. For those of you that have owned both sets of cans, was there indeed an improvement in SQ? Please reply if you personally have extensive experience with these two cans...

As the title suggests, put in your vote for that 1 essential recording you believe everyone should own. As for myself, I've been going on a rach PC marathon lately. My vote goes to: I know this will be a tough ordeal but please limit your suggestion to 1.

Hi, I have just received 2 Volex 17604s from Newerk and immediately swapped these into my digital tube source and Woo 6. I was previously using cheap computer powercords beforehand. Upon swapping powercords, my immediate impression was 1) decreased soundstage 2) music sounded more...
