My Calorie Counter is the resource I use to obsessively track my weight, water intake, food consumption and exercise. Somehow, it gives me strength, knowing I’ll have to account to a machine for that box of fudge I’m agonizing over. And if I don’t exercise every day, the evidence will show up in graphic form. Have

My favorite avoidance activity: Editing Wikipedia. Each time I edit, I get the sense I’ve made the world a little bit better. And every time I start playing Wikipedia, I get just a little bit smarter. Wikipedia is inherently unreliable, of course. (cf, Michael Scott’s thoughts on Wikipedia.) And I’d never quote it in public. But

You have one too: The neighbor who’s always emailing you dopey urban legends about hypodermics in gas tanks and Microsoft’s magical ability to track email forwards and reward them with donations to charities. I stopped arguing; now I just respond with a link from Snopes. Snopes is in the business of telling the truth about

Once upon a time my computer crashed. T’was filthy, dirty spyware took it down, it was. I got it running again — barely — and installed Spybot — a fabulous piece of freeware that somehow managed to make everything all better. I haven’t had a problem since. Tell me about your favorite free software utilities — but

Somehow I managed to skate through twelve years of public school (and nearly as many years of college) with only a minimal exposure to science. Now I’m trying to compensate. And LiveScience.com is my drug of choice. I especially enjoy reading the science blogs and reports on scientific studies. Every day the site hosts fascinating articles

My hard drive is plenty full, and I’m not the crypt keeper. I don’t want to store all those random pieces of graphic art that really belong in blogs, email attachments and web sites. Storing photos is why the good Lord invented Photobucket — the free photo sharing and storage utility. Photobucket stores vast quantities

It’s just this easy. I don’t give my email address to people I don’t trust. When strangers — or websites — want my email address, I’m hahaha@mailinator.com. Go ahead. Spam me, baby. With Mailinator, I make up any name I want at the Mailinator domain, and it’s mine. It’s yours, too, if you want it. No

Did I mention I have eight kids? That’s right. Five sons, two daughters, and my baby: an HP Pavilion laptop. I’ve killed said goodbye to about a dozen notebook PCs over the past two decades, but it wasn’t always hardware failures that sent them packing. At least twice, it was because a virus snuck through

For depth of commentary, and access to Hebrew, Greek and Strongs, nothing beats Studylight for in-depth scripture study. Search by word, topic or specific scripture refence. Studylight lets you choose the translation (presently 47 options, including the Vulgate and two Spanish editions) and the commentary. The Hebrew and Greek concordances I find particularly useful in trying

This may surprise you, but I don’t actually know everything. I just pretend I do on television. When I need real answers, I ask real experts. Happily, experts are on call, just hoping I’ll ask. Where do I find ‘em? At AllExperts, of course. Volunteers who have some expertise in their particular field answer questions by
