Why not both?

Years ago, back when I was neck-deep in the Tech world (working for startups in their IT departments, often supporting hundreds if not thousands of teammates, the site Life Hacker was BIG.

I loved it.

So much so that I started a site (years later) all about hacks I’d discovered over the years. I still use many of them (the shoe-tying method is KILLER). You can find that site here.

But what you won’t find is the post about shoe-tying. It doesn’t exist on the site. It DOES exist in the now-defunct newsletter. I’m thinking about bringing those old newsletters to The Muse Letter (in concept phase).

Would this interest you?

Trust me, it’s worth watching. It says “Unavailable.” But hit the link and go to Facebook. It’s great. It really is.

I sent my wife* to Kroger today and this is what happened:

She didn’t even share! Well, she didn’t share the cookie.

*Of course, this is not MY wife…

I bought two bunches of organic bananas at Costco today. I knew two was one too many. But I don’t know when we’ll be able to get back there.

I tell my wife, “Put them in the refrigerator.”

She says, “You can’t do that.”

I say, “Let’s google it.”

Here you go. Turns out, you can. It’s all about the science (slows ripening).

The cold temperatures in your refrigerator slow down the ripening process for bananas. If the bananas are green and unripe, they will not ripen any further and probably won’t ripen even if you return them to room temperature. The banana skin will also darken, but that won’t affect the inside if you leave the bananas refrigerated for just two or three days.
