Problem:
I had about ~50 PDF documents that I needed to print but the local print shop charges $2 for every file opened. Most of these documents where only 2-3 pages long. Opening the files would cost me $100 and printing the documents would only cost $10.
Solution:
I found this great post with a Java application that lets you merge multipliable PDF documents in to a single document. Its free, works, and simple. What more could you ask for

Tractor Pull is a drinking game.
What you Need to Play
- 6 cups
- 1 shot glass
- 2 cans of beer per person
- a time keeper
How to Play the Game
Line up each cup on a table and put one shot of beer in the first cup, two shots in the second cup, three shots in the third cup, four shots in the fourth cup, five shots in the fifth cup, six shots in the sixth cup. The first player holds cup one (the one with one shot) in his hand. The timekeeper is ready with the stopwatch and begins timing when the cup hits the players mouth. The players goal is to finish all of the cups in one minute, preferably without puking all over the place. If he doesn’t finish all the cups his results are based on the amount of beer he has finished, if he does finish his results are based on the time it took.
It is very important that the players start with the one ounce cup otherwise the game is very easy to complete. This game is deceiving because you wind up drinking 21 ozs of beer in a very short time.

By popular demand, I'm here to present a little bit of a how-to on making realistic specimens in jars. Before we begin though, let me point out that this is not going to be a really cheap project. The materials and processes can get kinda pricey, but it definitely shows through in the finished product.

HTML5 Boilerplate is the professional badass's base HTML/CSS/JS template for a fast, robust and future-proof site.
After more than two years in iterative development, you get the best of the best practices baked in: cross-browser normalization, performance optimizations, even optional features like cross-domain ajax and flash. A starter apache .htaccess config file hooks you the eff up with caching rules and preps your site to serve HTML5 video, use @font-face, and get your gzip zipple on.
Boilerplate is not a framework, nor does it prescribe any philosophy of development, it's just got some tricks to get your project off the ground quickly and right-footed.

Those of you who follow @EurekaWriters on Twitter might be aware that a hostage situation recently played out in our writers office. Specifically, the last piece in our 1500 piece puzzle depicting a map of the night sky was stolen and cruelly held for ransom. Now that the ordeal is over, the story can finally be told.
First, a little back-story. Puzzles were introduced to the Eureka offices by our intrepid Executive Producer, Bruce Miller. The idea is that when you're stuck on a story problem, sometimes a little brain break is just the thing you need to let a new idea shake loose. Working on a jigsaw puzzle is a great way to spend a few minutes not thinking about story, but still keeping the brain active. We almost always have a puzzle is set up in the kitchen so that anyone can wander through and spend a few minutes indulging their inner OCD.

If you're anything like me, you usually think of your pics in terms of content: Here's me smiling. Here's me looking tough. Here's me in Hawaii with that wacky turtle. And so on. Today, however, we'll analyze photography from a numerical angle—we'll discuss flash, focus, and aperture instead. We feel like people don't really think about these things when they choose a profile photo, and yet, as we shall see, their misuse can seriously mess you up.
