Geek Tip: Use Window Cleaner to Fix Unplayable Discs This tip actually comes courtesy of Netflix, after they were beginning to kill me by sending unplayable disc after unplayable disc. The first offender, (a How I Met Your Mother DVD, if you must know), refused to play in my DVD player, so I pulled out all my tricks to clean it (except for the ol' toothpaste trick, which I was tempted to try, but since I didn't own the disc, I had reservations), to no avail, so I reported it unplayable, and Netflix sent another copy of the DVD. Would you believe it, the next HIMYM disc they sent would also not play. By then I was angry and cursing the Netflix gods as I signed in to my profile to tell them yes, you sent me another crappy DVD that I can't play.

Geek Tip: Use PhoneVite to Send Invites and Updates I'm sure you all know and love eVite for sending quick and easy invitations.

Geek Tip: Fix Misspelled URLs With URL Fixer I love typing in www.google.con or yelp.lom to be told that the address cannot be found. I freak out, tell Firefox it's an idiot, and then head to downforeveryoneorjustme.con, at which point I develop an ulcer until I realize that it was just my butterfingers making me enter typos into the address bar. URL Fixer is like my Zen-master — it keeps me calm by fixing my misspelled urls. After you tell it to confirm confirmations, you'll get a pop up asking you if you meant their suggestion (which appear to be pretty accurate so far!).

Nerd Fun: Which Celebrities Are You Taller Than? Hey, at least I'm taller than Janeane Garofalo. Need to kill some time while simultaneous envisioning yourself next to celebrities. Admit it, if you came face to face with Tom Cruise you'd make him go back-to-back for comparesies.
