Great minds... I made a notchless wallpaper website this weekend at: http://notchless.net

Re: Apple pulling #1 Top Paid sticker pack over faked iMessage bubbles, clarifies no prank apps allowed

The crazy thing is this app has been featured in the App Store too.

I created a pack of cute bacon stickers. Can view at http://misterbacon.co https://itunes.apple.com/us... -- Would love feedback. Plan on adding more each week.

Re: Action Challenge! Name your audience | 30x500

Inspired by my own life experiences and a guest on Stacking the Bricks with writing letters. Information Workers / Professionals who need an action plan for setting up data / digital footprint to survive them. Removes a pain point for their surviving family. ( I've had a few friends and family in tech pass away now. )

Re: Lyft ridesharing startup asked to respond to Yellow Cab’s challenge

Gary Bacon — Tue, 03 Dec 2013 14:10:21 -0000

I sent an email as Lyft suggested its riders to help show my support. Too many times I've been ripped off by shady meter modifying cab drivers. I've submitted complains with no response. Not to mention Lyft and Uber offer friendliness, cleanliness, and oh that little thing called innovation. Not having to carry cash means a safer Baltimore for me.

Re: Practical Paleo book release celebration GIVEAWAY: US Wellness Meats

Gary Bacon — Fri, 10 Aug 2012 01:32:59 -0000

Liked and Followed US Wellness Meats and Balanced Bites on Facebook and Twitter.

I'm excited to get the book because I've been eating some form of Paleo ( not always strict ) since 2009 and have lost 38 pounds! Would love some new ideas to try for meals.

I'll gladly step up as a younger generation. I've traced my Bacon roots to the 1400s and know how my family ties to Kevin Bacon.

One of those posts that I wish I would have written myself. I prefer the exact same process.

Choose either streaming or disc to keep the price low. Want both? Pay out the nose. I've had the same DVD for 3 months now. This isn't about "power users."

Re: Music Services I use: Rhapsody vs Rdio vs Spotify vs Pandora

Gary Bacon — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 17:15:07 -0000

Have you tried the Mac app with Rdio? Works great. You can use the play, next, etc.. buttons on your keyboard. And the offline iPhone sync ( or Android ) is great! Can make your own playlists too. From what I am seeing Spotify is an identical service and based on the UK "premium" prices I'm seeing, priced competitively.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S II review

Show me an easy way to back up your phone? Do it.
This seems to be too many steps: http://howto.cnet.com/8301-...

NotIntoTeaParties is right.

It's just a phone.

iOS 5 will improve upon:
• Wifi based backups to your iTunes ( no cord )
• Wifi based backups to iCloud ( no computer )
• Re-download ANY media from iTunes ( even music )
• Swipe a song and choose delete. ( did it )

Enjoy your Android phone. I had one for awhile. Samsung Galaxy S. Wasn't for me. Too much work. Need better battery life? Well if you turn off Wifi, GPS, and 3G then it lasts all day. But if you want to use it, prepare for an hour. Bring the charger cable. Took me too long to figure out how to disable the default Samsung customized keyboard, remove bloat apps, and get it sailing.

Apple builds for the average consumer. They do not want to have to learn a manual's worth of customization for a phone. That being said, if you like to tweak until the cows come home - enjoy.

Coke vs. Pepsi
Android vs. iPhone
Domokun vs. Honey Badger

Competition is good. I prefer using Apple because I like the experience as a whole. Customer care, quality support, iTunes ecosystem, and a device that consistently gets better over time. But that's just me.

Re: Lysol Hand Soap Only $0.49 and More at Rite Aid!

Gary Bacon — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 15:16:19 -0000

It's in a random part of the flyer. I had to look 3 times. I will say that... I just had one of the worst Rite Aid experiences ever. The SUPERVISOR told me that you could not use a coupon on a sale item.

What I later realized, after I left, was that I was going into the negative and the machine wouldn't take the coupon because it made it more so.

That being said, the $1 off Lysol soap coupon mentioned cannot be used with the $3 off coupon. The $1 Rite Aid coupon is actually a manufacturers coupon which as we know is only 1 per item.

Tim encourages you to be skeptical. Read the sample chapter on his website. He doesn't waste his time writing nonsense. Solid content.

About the journal, sometimes it's just nice having something on paper. Our lives are so involved with digital interfaces that we often find it as a breath of fresh air to simplify.

I have the Dyson D24 and love it. So small and compact yet gets the job done.

Slip ups are only human. We can do it and stay on track.

I am curious to see what my calories were from last night. Unfortunately, Buffalo Wild Wings does not post their nutritional information on their website. They require one to email them asking for it and it will be sent via a PDF. How hard could posting a link be?

I also had 3 "Skinny Girl Margaritas" at 90 calories each and one Rum and Diet at 110 Calories. 398 Calories in drinks alone. We'll see what the food total comes in at.

Congrats! It's such a great feeling to move from one category to the other. Well if that move is going down. Being borderline obese is what motivated me to finally get in shape and start Get Gary Fit. Strong words from my doctor didn't help any either :P

The buns on this were amazing. They taste great and are 100 calories ( for both the top and bottom ).
