Many of you have probably heard of the up-and-coming fad of Pie Wednesday, which is exactly what it sounds like – rather than waiting until after we’ve all stuff our pie holes with things other than pie, we bake as many pies as we possibly can the day before Thanksgiving, and immediately commence devouring them like a pack of starving hyenas. … continue reading: Recipe!

Dropbox functions as an automatic file synchronization utility, with the added benefit that your files are accessible online as well as any other … continue reading: Dropbox
