» Handy Links and a Lighter Wallet
Both of these tips came from Lifehacker, and now having done both of them myself, I can attest to it. Hopefully someone will find them useful!

A Lighter Wallet:

- Sick of all the "bonus cards" stuffed in my wallet and dangling on my keychain, I entered the barcodes into KeyRingThing (up to 6; shinier and gives you the option of ordering a plastic one) and JustOneClubCard (up to 8; lots more stores but less "shiny"). You can print out your own new consolidated "bonus card" for free. Alas, although you can enter stores not on their lists and pick whatever one most resembles yours, I don't think they worked with any of the library cards I have (nor my Malley's card, probably because there's letters in the code). To prevent stores from scanning the wrong barcode when they're so close to each other, you can make a free windowed sleeve.

A Heavier (Virtual) Wallet?

- I'm keeping First Federal Lakewood as my checking account and keeping enough in savings to not have it be charged, but I moved the rest of my savings to ING Direct after reading many, many reviews of it and its competitors before deciding to do so. Higher interest rates FTW! (And if you deposit at least $250, you get $25 free with a promo code. Let me know if you want a promo code. I have a bunch).

  • 19:58 91.5 (the cool Cleveland big band radio station) played the obscure Sammy Davis Jr. song "Bee Boom." Why is this awesome? Read on! #
  • 20:00 "Bee Boom" was in the 1963 William Asher movie "Johnny Cool" starring Elizabeth Montgomery. Later they would marry and do "Bewitched." #

» "Oh! Slovenly Betsy, fie!”
Slovenly Betsy IS THE MOST CHILD-FRIENDLY BOOK EVER. ZOMG.

Teach your children morals with this deliciously twisted 1911 mix of Shel Silverstein and Edward Gorey, as charming rhymes mix with horrifyingly graphic illustrations. With titles like "THE STORY OF ROMPING POLLY" and "THE DREADFUL STORY OF PAULINE AND THE MATCHES", you can kind of guess how the book turns out.

You know, for the sake of sheer surrealism, I'm not even going to bother with the captions. Just pause for a short moment at each picture, giving each one its proper time to ponder... "WTF?!?!"
