Here's a somewhat random but ingenious white wine tip we picked up in the Finger Lakes. Freeze some grapes. The next time you bring home a bottle that's not chilled, but want to drink it right away, throw them in the glass. They won't water down the wine like ice will, and it's about one-third as tacky.

I just paid the low low price of $20 for the brand new Penny-Arcade videogame, On the Rainslick Precipice of Darkness: Episode One. After playing the ten-minute demo, I've decided it was a bargain. Features: great art (both 2D and 3D, including seamless transitions between the two), absurd situations, fun and simple RPG-like gameplay, and a black sense of humor without equal.
Support webcomickry in all its forms, buy a copy for yourself. Available right now for
PCWindows, Mac, Linux and on XBLA.Update: I realized that I didn't make it clear enough that (at least in Windows) you can do things in this order: 1) Download, 2) Enjoy the demo, 3) Pay, 4) Enjoy the remainder. And no downloading is necessary between steps three and four.
