How To Improve Uninstall A Program In Windows
Many experienced Windows users do not use the default Uninstall A Program control panel applet in Windows. Not so much because it is not comfortable to use but more because of it solely relying on the uninstall routine of the application itself.

The Happiness Project: "People Who Knit Are Usually in a Good Mood. People Who Stare into Their iPhones AND Demand Your Attention Aren't as Much Fun."
Mark Frauenfelder from Boing Boing has a fascinating book that just came out, Made by Hand: Searching for Meaning in a Throwaway World. As you can tell from the title alone, this book has a lot to do with happiness, work, DIY, and...handiness, learning to make and do things with your own hands instead of running out to get cheap, mass-produced items that provide no larger meaning or connection.
