Last chance to get 3 months of Mint Mobile service for $20

Chunky-style milk, anyone? In case you missed it, that was the cornerstone of Mint Mobile’s Super Bowl ad earlier this month — arguably one of the few entertaining things about that horrifically dull game.

Convert your desk to an electric stand

I’m standing up right now, working at a normal desk topped with an electric riser. That means with the push of a button, I can elevate my keyboard and monitor, work upright for a while, then go back to sitting with another push. Sound good?
