DYK? The largest model railroad is over 9,000 meters long!

Miniatur Wunderland

Miniatur Wunderland

The Miniatur Wonderland is the most popular tourist attraction in Hamburg, Germany. It is currently over 9,000 meters long and spans an area of over 900 square meters but they are not stopping there. They plan to have over 20,000 meters of track by 2014. I am most impressed with the detail and how they have captured multiple areas of the world in one exhibit. If you are ever in Hamburg, stop by - but for the rest of us the video below will have to do.

Save Money on Work Snacks

Almonds

Almonds

We all get that craving at work around 3pm and most of time, I was going to the vending maching or to Starbucks or the conveinience store to pick up a snack. Each time it was costing me $2-$6 depending on what I was in the mood for. Well, not any more.

Now I keep a steady supply of nuts in my desk (mainly almonds). They are a great source of protein and even though they have a good amount of fat, it’s the good kind, unsaturated fat. I also don’t have to worry about them spoiling, as nuts can keep for a very long time. I usually just pick up some bulk nuts at Costco, throw them in my drawer and forget about them until I need them.

Leave a comment with your ideas on how to save money on work snacking below.

Hulu can help whether you have a DVR or not

Even though Tivo and DVRs (Digital Video Recorders) are more prevalent today than they were even two years ago, not everyone has one. Hulu.com is a great way to watch TV shows for those without DVRs or even those who have a box that didn’t record a show (it’s happened to me numerous times).

Hulu is a joint venture between a few large production companies to bring full episodes of popular television programs and full movies to the Web. All you have to do is go to www.hulu.com and search for your program. Every show isn’t available, but if the series you want is one they carry, you can expect new episodes the day they air on TV. It’s perfect for when my DVR cuts off the last couple minutes of a show and I want to see who got voted off of Hell’s Kitchen.
