I've been reading this article about memory and it is truly fascinating.
Well, what I can remember of it anyway.

Clean Up the SU Beta

UPDATE!! The script now supports the new SU "View recent shares" feature by adding a "Shares" tab next to the "Inbox" tab. To get this new functionality, you can reinstall the script by clicking the "Clean Up the SU Beta" link above. If you have never installed the cleanup beta script, please follow the installation instructions below the screenshots.

Are you a little disgruntled with the layout of the SU beta? If so, you should try out my Greasemonkey script that makes the SU beta layout much more tolerable. It has been installed over 1,200 times, so give it a try and see if it improves your beta experience.

Get rid of the sidebars for a much cleaner layout
Move the mail and visitors indicators into the top tab bar
Get to a stumbler's contact page in one click instead of two
Toggle the sidebar on and off by clicking the new Sidebar tab at the top
Resize message text boxes -- no more tiny white boxes to type in!

Installation Instructions

If you already have Greasemonkey installed, go to Step 2. If not, install Greasemonkey. Click the big green "Install Now" button.
Install my new Clean SU beta script. When the "Greasemonkey Installation" window pops up, wait for the "Install" button to become enabled, then click it. Installation only takes a second or two.
Once it is installed, go to any SU page and refresh the page -- you should be prompted to enter your SU user name -- only enter your user name, and do not include the .stumbleupon.com. part. For example, if your user name is furman87, then enter furman87. This is only used by the script to know how it should render certain pages. If you enter the wrong user name, go to Tools->Greasemonkey->User Script Commands->Enter SU User Name, then enter your name correctly.

Home Cough Remedy
If you've got a nagging cough that's keeping you up at night, give this a try. It sounds like it tastes like shit, and it pretty much does, but it usually does the trick.

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

I usually double it, then add a few tablespoons of hot water and mix well. Take about three teaspoons, then drift off to sugar land.

If this doesn't work, a few shots of bourbon always helps.

Guitar Hero, guns, a Speedo, and cool hair -- hell yeah.
The Twinkies are just out of the picture, next to the pork rinds.

I know that sounds like innuendo, but it's total geek talk.
Really.
