My favorite new toy – bubbly water at home!
[Read the article: Ask Pablo]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]This will probably inadvertently come off as a commercial, but i don't care – i love this thing so much, and am happy to spread the gospel if it breaks others of the bottled water habit. I'm a huge fan of carbonated water, and til this december went thru a frightful amt of mostly pellegrino (with occasional calistoga, gerolsteiner mixed in). This posed three problems: 1) it's expensive 2) i live in a third floor walk-up, and hauling those cases of water upstairs was a huge pain in the ass 3) i was becoming increasingly aware of (and guilty-feeling about) the environmental impact of all the things pablo reviewed. So for xmas, i asked for and got a home carbonator from sodaclub.com and it's the best present i have ever gotten! i use filtered water from a system in my fridge, and SF water is quite good to start out with – it tastes just as good or better, takes less than a minute to make a bottle, costs a fraction of bottled, doesn't have to be dragged up the stairs and is good for the planet!

Need Better Pranks
[Read the article: Ask the pilot]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]i actually am all for some mind-twisting pranks at security, and loved the story about your mom and the tomato sauce, but neither of these examples in this column really work. snow shoes clip to real shoes, so unless you appeared at security wearing them barefoot, this one really wouldnt work. and you cant have shampoo in your toiletries kit anyway, so the best you could do is to pack a ziplock full of worms with the shampoo – not really the same. c'mon patrick – we need better pranks!
