These piles are a combination of bills, documents you feel you should keep but probably won’t ever need, catalogs, junk mail, and receipts. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed among all these former trees, especially if the whole thing is a disorganized mess. And wouldn’t your life be so much more eco-friendly if you could cut out paper entirely? Check out Lifehacker’s Guide to Going Paperless: photo: Thinkstock 1. Pay your bills online.

CalabriaThe great thing about Cato policy papers is that even sometimes obscure topics are timeless, because government never rests when it comes to running our lives and restricting our choices. Take the issue of bank ATM surcharges, those fees you can sometimes be charged for using another bank’s ATM.  Back in 1998, then Senator Al D’Amato proposed capping those fees.  Thankfully that effort failed.  I would like to believe one of the reasons for its failure is a 1998 Cato Briefing Paper by John Charles Bradbury, describing how ATM surcharge fees actually increase consumer choice by funding ever increasing ATM locations. Well the Senate is at it again.  Senator Harkin has proposed an amendment to Dodd’s financial regulation bill that would cap ATM surchar...

Here’s a challenge to libertarians from Rortybomb, aka Mike Konczal: I want to pitch to the credit card and financial industry a new innovative online survey. It is targeted for older, more mature long-time users of our services. We’ll give a $10 credit for anyone who completes it. Here is a sense of what the questions will look like: - 1) What is your age? - 2) What day of the week are you taking this survey? - 3) Many rewards offered are for people with more active lifestyles: vacations, flights, hotels, rental cars. Do you find that your rewards programs aren’t well suited for your lifestyle? - 4) What i...

Of course, I’m referring to a daily life of chronic pain. In that life, I have to worry about the “disconnect” between my mind and its many ambitions and the follow through that is required. Did you know your mind needs your body to accomplish, well, everything except telekinesis? I’ve tried that, but can’t seem to get it to work for me. I’ve tried staring at the vacuum and willing it to move. Nothing happened. I’ve tried to follow the Disney tradition of the dancing...

Two men entered the family home in Cheshire, Connecticut, assaulted the family and forced a woman, probably Petit's wife, to drive to an ATM and withdraw money. The burglars later set fire to the house and fled, leaving the family still inside. Dr. Petit survived the ordeal. His wife and two daughters were killed.Dr. Petit (50) is a prominent diabetes researcher. He is medical director at the Hospital of Central Connecticut in New Britain. The hospital is a Joslin Diabetes Center Affiliate institution. Dr. Petit is also president of the Hartford County Medical Association. He was elected to the American Diabetes Association's Hall of Merit in 1994...

First, the bad - from the local Spar shop. I choose to withdraw €30 and got this response. Poor design in action here. A few days later, at an Ulster Bank ATM, a more intuitive approach. After inserting the bank card (below), you are informed what notes are available. Then I wondered - Ok, apart from the User Interface design issue - what's the connection here? This morning, I came across an old post from Hans Oh discussing the Canadian Health System, and a quote from a tired sounding CIO on the difficulties associated with developing a regional or national EHR (electronic health record)."You can't walk up to the health ATM, stick your tongue in it and get a h...
