USB Floppy Disk Drive

APRIL 11, 2012 

I look back and find it hard to image that we used to install computer software using floppy disks. If you can still recall, each disk can only store a maximum of 1.44 MB. Because of this size capacity, most of the data and files you can transfer were limited. Of course, we don't have to deal with such restrictions nowadays, with large flash drives and DVDs.

Most CPUs don't come with floppy disk drives anymore for obvious reasons. However, if you still have some important files or documents stored on such disks and found yourself in a bind because you had no idea how to access them anymore, then you're in luck: the USB Floppy Disk Drive is now here…think of it has a classic throwback to the times when DOS ruled.

Basically, you just plug the USB Floppy Disk Drive into your USB port and use it to access data on your floppy disks, transfer them so you can create backups, and view documents that you thought you'd never be able to access again. Pretty cool, huh?

Can't wait to try this. I've heard good things about coconut oil. Must buy.

Stovetop Popcorn: Best Snack Ever

Posted: 16 Apr 2012 03:00 AM PDT

A few weeks ago, breaking news (haha) reported that popcorn has more antioxidants than fruits and veggies. I did a little cheer, and then emailed the link to funk with a subject of: BEST. NEWS. EVER.

We're popcorn junkies around here. Popcorn contains concentrated levels of polyphenols. These disease fighting antioxidants, also found in green tea and red wine, are like little ninja warriors kicking the butts of free radicals that try to damage our cells. Kapow!

Popcorn is also a high fiber, low calorie food, so it fills you up without filling you out. But before you go to the nearest movie theater to load up on the buttery snack, keep in mind that a large, unbuttered popcorn there could have as many as 1,200 belt-busting calories and an artery-clogging 60g of fat.

Your best bet is to make your own stovetop popcorn. Yep, just like the olden days before Mr. Redenbacher and microwaves came around. It's so easy to do and you'll never want to use a chemical laden microwave popcorn bag again. Once Funk and I mastered this method, we got rid of our two (yes we had two) popcorn makers.

Coat the bottom of a heavy duty pot with a few teaspoons of olive oil or coconut oil. Drop three kernels in the bottom of the pot, cover, and wait for them to pop.

This part is essential, because when those three kernels pop, it means the pot is hot enough for the rest, and will ensure you don't have burnt popcorn on the bottom and a whole bunch of un-popped kernels on the top.

Once they do pop, pour three tablespoons of kernels into the pot (or up to ½ cup, depending on how much popcorn you want), cover again, and watch as your pot fills with fluffy popcorn. It only takes a few minutes. Sure the oil adds some calories and fat to your snack, but it's the heart healthy kind and you're keeping a lid on the amount you use.

Our all time favorite popcorn that Funk has perfected is his olive oil and truffle salt popcorn. It is worth the $25 for the container of truffle salt we order online and use strictly for popcorn. We make it weekly!

Popcorn is best enjoyed in bed with a laptop movie.
