Cool Tools

When I was growing up, canning was for old folks and cranks and separatists --oh, and for my parents, who spent every summer of my Virginia childhood scrambling to convert overflowing bushel baskets of fruits and vegetables from their garden into a pantry lined with shelf upon shelf of colorful canning jars, not to mention a stuffed-to-the-rim chest freezer or two. Not for me. I had better, far more important things to do. I can't remember what they were. For me, putting up the very best produce I can find in season--especially if it's homegrown or from a nearby farm--is quite simply a way to spend some marginally productive time in the kitchen, preferably with my family and friends. http://www.kk.org/cooltools/

Geek to Live: Keep your calendar in plain text with Remind

by Gina Trapani Plain text is the most portable, munge-able, searchable, dependable, and software-agnostic file format there is. We've covered how to track your tasks and projects in a todo.txt file; today we're going to extend our plain text personal information manager to include a full-on calendar, using an old school UNIX program called Remind . Prompted by a great Remind primer posted on 43 Folders more than a year ago (those cats are way ahead of us), I started down the road using Remind. Don't get me wrong: I love Google Calendar , and its fancy dynamic pages, and sharing capabilities, and built-in alerts. However, I also like hosting, controlling and owning my own data. http://lifehacker.com/186661/geek-to-live--keep-your-calendar-in-plain-text-with-remind
