500th Tip of the Day

By -
That's right folks. This here tip is our 500th tip ever. Through these 500 tips, we've learned what a tip really is. So have a look at several that we have found through the years:


The tip of a marker


A finger tip


On the tip of my tongue


"A good tipper after a good dinner" or "queer as a two dollar bill"


Tipping stuff over. (Happens alot around here)


Q-Tip aka Swisspers (disclaimer: This picture was simulated. Never stick anything smaller than your finger in your ear)


Tripp, er, ok I guess not


Tipper "But I hardly know her" Gore


Highlighted Tips


Um, no comment


Tip of the iceberg


Audi Tiptronic Gear Shift


Tip off


Wing Tip Shoes


Tip Toes


Cow Tipping


Tipped Off

Then finally, the type of tip we're most used to around here:

Congratulations! I have enjoyed reading and participating in these 500 tips. Job well done!

I also must concur that you should never stick anything smaller than your elbow in your ear. Earlier this year, I used a cheap q-tip and to my dismay part of it didn’t come back out (should have paid the piper). I thought it might have fallen on the floor or something so I just ignored it. I did notice that my hearing was a little off and it felt really weird when I got water in my ear (like the filling of a sponge). So after a few days, I had my dad, the ER doctor, get out his handy dandy medical bag and check it out. It wouldn’t come out at first. Finally, I ended up laying on a bed with mom holding a huge flashlight over my ear and dad pulling it out with a long tweezer-like apparatus. Fun times!

I never thought we'd make it this far! I remember thinking after 4 or 5 tips that it'd be impossible to come up with a year's worth--or more--or a lifetime's worth! But, this is a huge milestone. We need some keggers.

Post-Run Tip of the Day

By Stephanie -
This is a tip for those who might run where giant swarms of gnats sometimes loiter by the side of the road. This tip stems from a run on the Mayan Riviera in Mexico, but I've encountered swarms of gnats in Virginia and Kentucky as well. After your run, always stop and look in a mirror before going into public. Otherwise, you might actually complete a transaction at the resort store and greet five people before realizing you have up to 15 gnats stuck to your face and neck.

Questionable Tip of the Day

We've all been there. We're looking at a site and keep refreshing to see if what we're looking for has been updated. But, often times our browsers will cache items on the page (especially images and Flash™ documents.) This enables faster page loads, and less data transfer, which is actually nice. However, if you're a web developer, or someone who checks the tips site a lot for comments, you want to know that the information you're viewing is perfectly accurate. And, you don't want to empty your cache every time you look at a site. So, here's what you do. To get a page to refresh, and not draw from a cache, simply put a good old-fashioned question mark (?) at the end of your URL, and hit "Enter."
