If you've ever wanted to try Aquaponics, growing fish, plants, and bacteria in a nearly-closed loop ecological system, you can get your feet wet by building a basic system using Ikea Antonius frame and wire baskets, two plastic bins, PVC pipe, and a submersible water pump. You'll also need to create…

We think of negotiation as a game for experienced professionals, but in reality, it's not very hard to do. From getting a salary increase to haggling a better deal on a car, even the shyest amongst us can get what we want out of a negotiation. Here's how. Whether you realize it or not, you probably…

Until the age of 21, I had several New Year's resolutions to learn Spanish that never panned out. After I graduated university (as an electronic engineer who could only speak English) I managed to spend an entire six months living in Spain without picking up more than just a few phrases. I was…

Special guest Jimmy Fallon welcomes our new robot overlords.Photo: Peter Yang Imagine that 7 out of 10 working Americans got fired tomorrow. What would they all do? It’s hard to believe you’d have an economy at all if you gave pink slips to more than half the labor force. But that—in slow motion—is…

Por cuarta vez consecutiva -después de 2010, 2011 y 2012- escribo mis objetivos para el próximo año. Si, puede que esta no sea más que una fecha arbitraria, y que este tipo de artículos sean vistos por muchos como un acto de exhibicionismo pueril, pero a mi me gusta continuar con la tradición.…

Inicio » Análisis » Uno de los juegos que más nos ha llamado la atención de las últimas semanas es sin duda Duncan & Katy, por dos motivos. El primero es el buen acabado gráfico, que destaca por su colorista estilo y sus animaciones inspiradas en el anime. Y el segundo es que está desarrollado en…

To begin, my mother and father are responsible for me existing at all, so I suppose the first round of “How I made it to where I am” begins there. I was born at Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield, CA, and as I understand it I was not the easiest of births, taking on the order of three days to be…

“If you reach for a star, you might not get one. But you won’t come up with a hand full of mud either.” Leo Burnett I came across this quote many years ago and, looking back, it’s the way my life has unfolded. Personally, I never got that star but things have been pretty damn good and the reaching…

Brainwashing is something that happens to us every day, whether you believe it or not. It doesn't take fancy tools or space-age technology. Even if our country didn't intentionally brainwash people (believe me, they do), our country's media is brainwashing people nonstop. Just sit back and think…

Whenever someone takes on a goal, they tend to go through a few phases. At first, there’s the honeymoon phase, where the person is enthusiastic about what they’re working on. They’ve got a clear goal, one that they’re sure is going to change their life. The steps to achieve that goal seem fresh and…

The tech industry and its press have treated the rise of billion-scale social networks and ubiquitous smartphone apps as an unadulterated win for regular people, a triumph of usability and empowerment. They seldom talk about what we've lost along the way in this transition, and I find that younger…

Prior to his death on Oct. 5, 2011, Steve Jobs made sure that the elevation of Tim Cook—his longtime head of operations and trusted deputy—to Apple chief executive officer would be drama-free. “He goes, ‘I never want you to ask what I would have done,’” recalls Cook. “‘Just do what’s right.’ He was…

Can quality be defined? Are there certain attributes that all deserving things have, or is it purely subjective? In this essay, The Wirecutter's Allison Gibson contemplates the wealth of reasons why we would say something is "quality". Earlier this year, through a series of events that involved a…

I enjoy watching cooking shows – you know, the ones where they actually focus on presenting a recipe and show off some of the techniques used in preparing that recipe. My favorite cooking show host is Julia Child, by a fair margin. There’s something I’ve always found really comforting about her – I…

A reader recently asked me a pointed question: "I've read your work on creating user habits. It's all well and good for getting people to do things, like using an app on their iPhone, but I've got a bigger problem. How do I get people to do things they don't want to do?" Taken aback by the…

Between work, classes, and socializing, life can get pretty hectic. In response, we often rely on caffeinated drinks to keep us going. Sure, everyone knows that caffeine can give you a much-needed jolt, but at what cost? It can also cause headaches, breakouts, and mood swings, just to name a few…

By Lisa Hix In his seventh book “Retromania,” British-born rock critic and music memorabilia collector Simon Reynolds asserts that there’s never “been a society so obsessed with the cultural artifacts of its own immediate past” as ours.

Hacking is really about making things better, but it’s also about causing havoc, and Andrew Auernheimer’s best hack sits somewhere between the two.

I have a new rule that I'm making for myself and holding others to: If you haven't worked on something in the past two weeks, you're not allowed to talk about it. I'm guilty. But not as much, anymore. My ideas would just sit for months. Stagnating. Ideas rot, and the only way to keep them from…

Dear Lifehacker, I have tons of ideas for projects and things I want to do, but they're all halfway there, only partially fleshed out, or just inspiration with no real plan behind them.

Lies are inevitable, but getting duped isn't. When you're in the presence of a liar, you can often uncover the truth by paying attention to very specific nonverbal cues. You just need to ask the right questions and observe their body language to catch them in the act. You've probably heard things…
