In the last couple of months I've gotten hooked on two great blogs about everyday life. One is Lifehacker, and it's heavy on computer and tech tips but still has plenty of other solid nuggets that can make life easier for you. For example, it's where I learned that if you carry a certain combination of ten coins in your pocket when you go out you'll always have exact change for anything between one and 99 cents (the combination is three quarters, one dime, two nickels and four pennies). It's a handy tip if you like to have exact change, or spend loose change.
The other side is Wisebread. Again, it has lots of daily living tips and suggestions but it's much less techy and is more in-depth. My personal favorites are their video posts on common carnival cons and bar tricks that you can use to win free drinks in bar bets. I've never used them, but the videos are well done and entertaining, and if you like messing with your friends you might be able to teach yourself a couple of the tricks.
Enjoy.
