Very nice wine from Northern Italy. I'm in no way a wine connoisseur (in fact, I don't particularly like most wines), but this happens to be one I really enjoyed. I picked it up in 1999 when I was in Italy for a few weeks. I still have the bottle since I only opened it recently. I'm posting this as an example for a Lifehacker post.
Here I'm meeting Gina from Lifehacker. I asked her to sign the page where she introduces todo.txt. Great geek productivity tool! www.todotxt.com
I was reading this morning (can't remember where) of someone spreading vaseline on a lens filter to achieve a softened focus. I don't have lens filters yet and I wouldn't spread weird substances on them if I did so I put some clingwrap over the lens hood and smeared the edges with vaseline to achieve this effect. I noticed that my wife has all sorts of weird creams in the bathroom cabinet that I will have to test on my new home made filter system :)

Amazing multipurpose mushroom, including a natural band-aid! lifehacker.com/5360855/make-an-emergency-band-aid-from-tr...
I decided some bands of rotating colour might do nicely for a poster background, open GIMP to do it, and discovered it wouldn't.
So I did it in RISC OS instead, using !Draw's Grade feature to interpolate lines of alternating rotated colour. Because !Draw can do more than this, I made the lines gently wavy to begin with. (Converted to a BMP bit map with !DrawToSpr.)
This gave me a circular do-dah with a fault in the middle (because you can't layer a sequence of lines so none are on top like impossible stairs). To get the size of the maximum inscribed circle, I rounded down the reciprocal root 2 of the radius, and took that as a centered canvas size reduction in PSP.
I got rid of the layers flaw with a second layer taken as a copy of the centre of the image, rotated 180° with it's flaw cut out, and recentred. Minimised the flaw first in MsPaint, temporarily replacing the centre colour with a contrasting one to make things stand out.
As I was repositioning the correction layer, using a difference filter, I noticed interesting interference patterns. So tried that again with multiply and a duplicate of the whole layer, and got much like what you see above. It just took clipping out the intersected area and a bit more resizing/clipping to get it as a standard screensize.
Each rotor consists of the same bézier curve, rotated so 16 complete a circle, and in alternate colours. 16 graduations between each of them were all that were necessary, and the lines are thick enough to overlap. This means that each of the two rotors consist of nothing more fancy than 256 wiggly lines.
This is my first really-cool looking wallpaper, and I expect to get paid a lot of money after sending it in the Lifehacker, dropped off in the foyer in a black refuse sack marked "thistles". Hang on a minute someone, just said they've disposed of the "toxic waste"...

Hi! I'm an 11 year old that loves lifehacker, tech, and programming! here is one of my desktops. modded theme menu bar and scroll bars. black dock pinned on left. obsidian icon set.
the board is marked (on the later "inner side" with up, down, front, back (in german), the motherboard was placed in what i figured the best spot (changed it afterwards) and the to-be-positon marked as well.
this may look trivial. in fact (if you are not european and/or familiar with IKEA) - mixing up different sides of boards it the major way to F??K things up with IKEA. the best advice is to actually compare the pattern in the manual (number of holes, alternation of big holes and small holes, etc.), read and think the manual to the end, so you dont end up with a visible unpainted edge or cannot find a hole anymore to fix a door hinge to.
despite the "easy assembly" approach of IKEA - the furniture is definitely not designed to be disassembled. so reversing steps because of mistakes will jeopardize the outcome significantly.
as my mom used to say - moved three times equals burnt down once. you can change the ratio to 2:1 in case of IKEA furniture.

Breakfast this morning. A perfect poached egg, english muffin, sriracha, strawberry jam.
I'd always had trouble poaching an egg and getting it to stay coherent (not turn into egg drop soup). This tutorial (from Lifehacker) really nailed it:
Poaching is actually our favorite way of consuming the incredible edible egg. It has the runny yolk and versatility of a fried egg, but feels slightly more virtuous. We also like the way it looks: perfectly white with the bright yellow of the yolk just barely glimmering through. It's like a neat little egg package.
So how do we get those perfectly poached eggs? Here's how we do it:
• Shallow Water - The shallow water helps keep the egg contained. There's only so far up or down that it can go. We usually poach our eggs in a 2-quart saucepan filled with 2-3 inches of water.
• Gentle Simmer - Boiling or even rapidly simmering water will tear apart the fragile egg whites before they have time to set. A bare simmer is a much more gentle environment for cooking those eggs, and the water won't cool so much that cooking times are affected. We usually bring the water up to a boil so we know it's nice and hot, then reduce the temperature so we just see a few tiny bubbles breaking the surface.
• Splash of Vinegar - Vinegar, or even lemon, helps the egg whites to set more quickly and we get fewer wispy bits when we add a tablespoon or two to the simmering water.
• Use Fresh Eggs - The fresher the egg, the more tightly the whites stay together. The times when we end up with egg drop soup were usually when we were using eggs near their expiration dates.
• Cooking Times - When poaching at a gentle simmer, we find that four minutes gives us an egg with firm whites and a runny yolk. Four and a half minutes is perfect if we want a yolk that's just starting to set. Five whole minutes works for the times when we want a set yolk that is still custardy and soft.
• The Vortex - We add this tip last because it's a matter of some debate. Theoretically, spinning the water with a spoon to create a vortex and then dropping the egg in the middle helps keep the egg contained, but we've never managed this very successfully. Still, it works for some people and it's worth trying for yourself!
