It looks like normal dish soap. It’s blue and foams up as though it is actually doing something, but don’t let it fool you: this soap can not clean. You’re better off pouring a rootbeer float on your dishes.

To begin with, gimmicks can form a source of inspiration. If you utilize a gimmick correctly it can provide you a jumping off point to help with writer's block. A gimmick is taking just a small idea or a fragment of a concept and trying to expand on it until (sometimes) it gains new meaning.

Spring has sprung in Montreal, which means that it has been exactly 3 weeks since I’ve had to wear snow boots. On top of that, I just wrote my second-to-last exam of undergrad!!!

So, I'm on the bike trail by my house, and see a big cliff with a steep trail leading up it, and a little sign with a picture of a coffee cup at the bottom. I'm kinda dehydrated and need wifi to check my map, so, huffing and puffing, I decide to climb up.

There was, not too long ago, my work as a teacher and advocate of the "Learn To Code"/"Teach Kids Code" movement in Canada—one day in early 2013 I was positively described as "apolitical" by a friend. Everybody wants to teach their kids to code, he explained to me, and as a result my work was appealing to all sides of the political spectrum! I actually thought this was a very strange conclusion:

[...] But in between studying and worrying about studying, I have picked up a new interest. It might sound a little out there, but I have gotten into prepping. That's short for preparing, as in preparing for natural disasters.

In essence, the new Cat Be Damned album "all his empty show" is the experience of going to bed with a brain full of echoes of the daily grind and assorted worries, just at the point where these thoughts transition into dreams.

Last month, our contributor Cal wrote up a neat kitchen science experiment testing whether salt water boiled faster than tap water. He took very careful measurements and replicated each test several times, only to conclude that “it doesn’t matter.”

Actually Cal, you got some cool data!

I’ve thought about the job vs. hobby thing a lot this month. School has been really hard, and even though I’m only a year from graduating, I constantly ask myself if I would be better off trying to make a living as an artist. I could probably manage… right?

Food waste is a priority. Clothes, papers, even dirt, are ok to leave around for a while, but if you leave food out it attracts bugs and might even spoil. If you only have energy for one task, focus on dealing with dishes or other food messes.

If you have a problem with procrastinating on doing dishes, try this tip to keep them from piling up: only use one plate, bowl, and silverware set. When it’s time to eat a meal, all you have to do is rinse the one plate and maybe wash off a spoon. This doesn’t work so well if you share dishes with roommates or have people over.

Instead of trying to clean your whole house or a whole room, try organizing one small area at a time. This might just mean throwing out the receipts in your handbag or picking up a few shirts from the floor.
