Hey Wine Lovers
Red wine headaches don’t seem to have a single, identifiable cause, and have stumped many doctors, even fake ones like me.
You’re right that sulfites are often blamed, unfairly. All wines have sulfites—they occur naturally in the winemaking process. One of the tenets of organic winemaking is to not add any sulfites to the ones already there naturally as a byproduct of fermentation. Sulfites are...
OCCUPY STUDENT DEBT: paying back these loans since... →
occupystudentdebt:
I am 33 years old and currently have $25,000 worth of student loan debt. The majority of my student loans are private loans from Sallie Mae. I’ve been paying back these loans since 2008 and my principal balance has not decreased. It sucks the interest rates on student loans are so high.

Idea to Market in 5 Months: Making the Glif
russianpencil:
On July 11th, 2010, Tom Gerhardt and I had an idea for an iPhone accessory: a tripod mount that doubled as a stand. Five months later, customers began to receive our product, the Glif, in the mail. This turnaround, from idea to market in five months by two guys with no retail or manufacturing experience, signifies a shift in the way products are made and sold — a shift only made...

The Smell of it.
atomic-o-licious:
I have never been a fan of deodorizers – air fresheners, scented candles, plug-ins, that kind of thing. They never seemed genuine to me. Why fill the room with volatile compounds that trick my olfactories into thinking the room is clean when I could, well, clean.
Then I got pets. And now I do more malodorous molecule masking then a tester at a Fabreze factory.
But...

matthewfraser-thismuchiknow:
The French are notorious for their obsession with maddening, micro-meddling rules and regulations.
Anglo-Saxons who live in France, as I do, constantly struggle with the puzzling paradox in a society universally admired for its splendid “joie de vivre” — yet infamous for its oppressive…

An iOS Developer Takes on Android
nfarina:
Recently, we released the Android version of Meridian, our platform for building location-based apps.
We didn’t use one of these “Cross Platform!” tools like Titanium. We wrote it, from scratch, in Java, like you do in Android.
We decided it was important to keep the native stuff native, and to respect each platform’s conventions as much as possible. Some conventions are easy to...
