Ryan Adams is one of the most prolific musicians in modern music. In the last eight years he averaged a release of one full studio album per year. In one year alone, he released three albums! Since 2000, he has contributed to dozens of other albums and movie soundtracks. One night I stumbled on one of his televised performances, which involved a question and answer session with the audience afterwards. One fan asked how he ...

Like microwave popcorn, but don't want to risk chipping a tooth on one of the rock-like kernels that never met its potential? Get rid of unpopped kernels with a simple shake. After removing your popcorn from the microwave, carry the bag to a garbage can. Pull the bag open only enough that the opening is slightly larger than an unpopped kernel. Turn the bag upside down and shake the bag up and down vigorously for ...

Duct tape is one of the most handy additions to any lifehacker's toolkit. Whether you're fixing, hanging, sealing, making, or healing, duct tape can get the job done. Problem is, a full roll of the stuff is bulky and heavy, and it's overkill when you don't need it all for one project or repair. In short, duct tape isn't pocket friendly—until now anyway. With a plain drinking straw, you can make a pocket duct tape ...
