But all most sarcasm aside, I do, you know, spend some time in the kitchen. So why do these fairly basic things make great gifts? 1. Can’t get enough?

This week was stressful, because in addition to the kitchen reno project, work has been very busy, and it looks like I’ll be doing some business travel before the project is complete. And right now the reno project feels a little bit like having a new puppy— you have to keep your eye on it all the time to make sure it doesn't get into trouble! I’m sure it will seem less so over the next few weeks, but right now I hate to leave town when there’s so much going on and so many things to decide!

This article was updated on November 22, 2010. Costco was cool even before the Great Recession. Targeting business owners and other affluent customers, the members-only warehouse shop avoided the Walmart stigma and sold a mix of high-end electronics, basic foodstuffs, and household necessities, plus an eclectic mix of humidifiers, bestselling books, and vintage Champagne. Now that frugal is fashionable, however, Costco seems like the perfect store for the times. The blogosphere, no surprise, offers up sites for Costco fanatics and Costco cooks. So should you follow the crowd? 1. OK, “Costco Chateauneuf-du-Pape” doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue.

Cuauhtémoc (Nahuatl pronunciation: [kʷaːʍˈtemoːk], kwauˈtemok also known as Cuauhtemotzin, Guatimozin or Guatemoc; c. 1495) was the Aztec ruler (tlatoani) of Tenochtitlan from 1520 to 1521. The name Cuāuhtemōc means "One That Has Descended Like an Eagle", commonly rendered in English as "Descending Eagle" as in the moment when an eagle folds its wings and plummets down to strike its prey, so this is a name that implies aggressiveness and determination. Cuauhtémoc took power in 1520 as successor of Cuitláhuac and was a cousin of the former emperor Moctezuma II. His young wife, who would later be known as Isabel Moctezuma, was one of Moctezuma's daughters.

I had the same issue many have reported here and in comments on blogs, where their +_battery was draining at least twice as fast_+ as on an iPhone 3GS with iOS 4. Some threads suggest +_this happens to iPhone 4 when restored from a 3G or 3GS_+, and indeed, that's what I'd done. A few people said that resetting to factory settings and installing everything fresh solved the issue, giving them better battery life than they'd seen on any prior iPhone. Many of my apps have files or settings stored in them, so I didn't want to have to set everything up again.

A fresh install is a real pain. Deep in an iPhone 3G thread mentioning a similar battery problem after upgrading to iOS 4, someone said they'd deleted all their mail accounts, and set those up fresh, which solved the issue for them. Thursday and Friday, the iPhone 4 went from 100% to 15% in under 6 hours. Do this on WiFi so you can sync and check mail fast. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. What's Your Design Style?
