via Engadget by Thomas Ricker on May 15, 2008
Filed under: Laptops June's shaping up to be a pretty special month 'round here.

via Lifehacker: Top by (author unknown) on May 18, 2008
Shared by KRZ genial! :P Food blog Lunch in a Box has a brilliant, simple tip for freezing meat in small portions easily and without wasting too much plastic wrap.

via Gizmodo by Jason Chen on May 15, 2008
