Paperless for iPhone & iPad

Paperless is a to-do list / checklist organizer. It's key feature is the ability to duplicate and reuse lists. If you're someone who uses several checklists over and over, this is a handy app.

It's easy to make a master grocery list of the things you buy the most, and then duplicate that list for a new grocery list every time you shop - populating all of the common items you buy to use or delete for that trip.

You may also have a travel packing list you use each time you travel that can be used, checked off, and then restored with all items 'unchecked' to be used again and again.

It's also simple to move several items from one list to another. Backup to Dropbox means all your mobile devices are in sync.

 

Pilot G-2 07 Finepoint Retractable Pen

This gel pen writes with the sloopy freedom and wet lines of the very best fountain pens I've ever owned, and it's a disposable.

If you enjoy that kind of quick, scratchy-smooth wet writing experience that usually only comes from a fountain pen, give this one a try. 

WKRP cd box set

The good folks at Shout! have done incredible work tracking down the licenses for music featured in the late 70s sitcom, WKRP in Cincinnati. These licenses not only kept all of us from having access to any episodes beyond Season 1, but also allowed scenes from Season 1 and the rest that'd remained unseen for years to be viewed again. And it's really great to have the real music in the show. A sitcom that holds it's funny value years later, WKRP is still good fun with an excellent ensemble cast.

Maldon Sea Salt

Great taste, flaked salt, and a crunch you only find with big flake salt. Perfect for soft eggs, salads, candy toppings, and other almost dry to sticky foods.

Geo F. Trumper Violet Shaving Cream

Want that straight razor shave feel? Outside of really using a straight razor, which most of us aren't good at, great shaving cream makes a huge difference. Geo F. Trumper Violet Shaving Cream has a very light smell, awesome lubrication, and leaves a very clean shave used with a safety razor.

STINKER: Cat's Ass Coffee

This is the first one of these I've done, but i've planned to include this sort of thing as well, cuz it's stuff you'd think you like, but it turns out, it's a stinker.

To that point, Kopi Luwak is a very special type of coffee I'd read about since the 90s and always wanted to try. Noted for it's incredible smoothness, it commands a premium price - 50 to 70 dollars per 1/2 lb., depending on the vendor. Yup, this is the coffee that's first digested by the civet, a very cute little cat-like creature from southeast Asia. After that, the beans are removed from the civet's poop, cleaned, and roasted like any other coffee bean.

Jeri got me a 1/4 lb of this from Cat's Ass Coffee as a gift, She knew how much I've wanted it and what a coffee snob I am. Try as I might, after several pots of it, I found it just wasn't very good. It tasted like old restaurant coffee made in a Bunn coffee maker. It was incredibly smooth and acid free as touted, but no matter how strong I brewed it, it had no aroma at all, and tasted stale and weak. Coffee fans, Kopi Luwak from Cat's Ass Coffee was a bust.

Kespon Privacy Stamp

Ok, this is brilliant and I don't know why someone didn't think of this sooner!!! I've been shredding stuff for years (an onerous task) and someone finally thought "hey, why don't you just blot out your name." Indeed. Why not.

This little baby makes a mix of letters over your address printout on anything so you don't have to tear the little address labels off letters, magazines, or forms to shred them. Or shred anything. Just drop it in the recycle bin. Pure genius.

It's easily refillable with new inkpads, so you're not throwing the whole thing away when the ink dries out. I love it!

Fuel Art & Espresso

Great coffee, friendly staff, and uber-cool surroundings. You're gonna be in Mt. Vernon to take in the festivals or antiques, so be sure to stop in to Fuel! They have the gifts and decor that are no where else.

The owner, Tommie, has an incredible sense of style that seems to mix world art, dark humor, and midwest sensibilities into one. She collects amazing stuff from all over, sometimes one of a kind finds, to sell there: dia de los muertos figurines, cast iron animals, fun brightly painted metal work by local artists, Dutch funeral urns, vintage cowboy boots, amazing handmade pieces in wood, paper, and cloth by Central American artists, Tibetan glasswear, Asian cabinets, French toiletries, original art by Tommie herself, and all kinds of new stuff coming in every week!

If that isn't enough, the amazing baked scones, cupcakes, cookies, and brownies are made fresh from scratch daily right in the store!

Violet Jelly from Blue Gate Farm

Oh my gosh. Remember that violet jelly your grandma used to make for the county fair? No, you don't cuz your grandma never made something this awesome like Blue Gate Farm does! Lightly flora, sweet, and GREAT on an english muffin. Blue Gate Farm makes the best!!! Special thanks to Jag's Photo Blog for the image I'm using without permission here.

Cyber Clean

This stuff really works. Gets gunk out of tiny cracks. If it's a flexible surface you're pushing it into, it will sometimes leave pieces of gel in the cracks which can be removed with light dabbing with the larger chunk of gel, so be careful in those cases not to squish it in too hard. Can sometimes leave an oily film on glass, but i've had good luck with glossy plastic and enamels coming away clean. I'm not sure i buy into it killing germs. I have no way of knowing.

Millstream German Pilsner

Lager lovers who like a clean, clear, and very brightly hoppy brew will enjoy Millstream's German Pilsner. They lightly hop it while the wort is boiled and then hop it again at the end while the wort cools resulting in a beer that is mildly bitter and brightly floral in its hoppy smell. Yum!
