    Arnold Select's 100% Whole Wheat Sandwich Thins -- We eat a lot of chicken sandwiches, veggie, turkey and black bean burgers and buying buns for them is often a waste. Enter Sandwich Thins. These sandwich-sized flatbreads don't overload your burger with doughy fill, but rather enhance it and make it easily to handle. Also great for toast or just to eat plain. Check them out here. --J.S.

    ih8that.com -- Feel like ranting a bit to blow off steam? This is your site. Post your own gripe or just dive into this collection of rants from strangers, many of whom seem to be in junior high. You can agree, disagree or post a comment. You might end up feeling less aggravated then when you started. --D.O.

    Gene Mueller and "Wisconsin's Morning News" -- For years, I was a loyal listener of the morning show on WTMJ (620 AM). Over the past five or six years, I moved away from radio news in the morning to the beauty and simplicity of the Web. Since I have such a short commute, time isn't on my side. But, the past few weeks I've tuned back in for 5-10 minutes in the morning (a few times per week) and really enjoyed the banter, insight and "realness" (if that's a word) of Gene Mueller and his morning partner John Jagler. They don't seem to be just reading the headlines from jsonline.com anymore but rather giving the news a personal and often funny touch that I really enjoy. Mueller's a true pro and a great Milwaukee guy. Tune in or check out his blog. --J.S.

    Table-side guacamole -- Guacamole is such a great dip that even when it's bad, it's pretty good. There are a few restaurants in town -- notably Jose's Blue Sombrero and Habanero's Mexican Kitchen -- that will smash the avocados and mix your guac right at your table. Fresh is always best, and the warmer weather is perfect for a margarita, Dos Equis and some chips and guac. --D.O.

    Tori Praver -- You may not have heard of this model/actress, but she's the girl in the new Arby's commercial. You know, the one where the schlubby guy is sitting on the park bench with a burger, the hot girl (Praver) inexplicably gives him her phone number, which is smudged beyond recognition by his greasy fingers. Praver looks like a younger, less crazy Denise Richards. It's easy to predict big things for her, like a Maxim cover or a role in one of those "Scary Movie" installments. --D.O.

    Pod2Mac -- After buying my new laptop, I struggled to transfer thousands of songs from my iPod to the new machine. I found plenty of software titles that would do the job for a fee, but I found the open-source Pod2Mac did the job just fine. It transfers all your media -- and your playlists -- with a few clicks of the mouse. There's also a PC version, if you are a Windows user. --A.W.

    Amazon Women is still very funny. saw it about 3 months ago on late night TV (perfect!). the running joke that is the space movie at the heart of Amazon Women is note perfect. admittedly it doesn't all hold up, but most of it does, and the bit with the invisible man is still miles funnier than most of what passes for comedy at the movie theater lately. great pick!

    Throwing in a little more love for Brick 3. Have eaten there three times since they opened and everything's been very good. I'll definitely be back!
