TheCoolhunter.net -- If you call something "cool," it's probably not. But, I never really liked the "rules are rules" crowd, so I like checking out coolhunter.net every now and then. The site provides a good mix of "cool stuff." From music to design and fashion to workplace stuff, it's a fun diversion and good idea generator. --J.S.

"Closing Arguments" by Lucky Boys Confusion -- The suburban Chicago ska/punk/hip hop/rock group's fourth full-length release isn't groundbreaking. At the same time, the disc is a good addition for the collection, especially for the dedicated fan. Comprised mainly of B-sides, demos and other previously unreleased material, "Closing Arguments" also includes a new song, "This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both of Us." Lead singer Kaustubh (Stubhy) Pandav is all grown up now, but he still delivers lyrics like a defiant teenager, even if it is a little more subdued. Download it on iTunes or pick up the disc when it hits stores later this month. --A.W.

Biking to work -- OK, if your commute is 45 minutes by car, you're off the hook, but if you live with 10 miles of your office, you might consider ditching four wheels for two now that the weather has become tolerable. Oh, and what do you know, Milwaukee's official Bike to Work Week starts on Saturday. Come on, it's not as hard as it sounds and a nice ride first thing in the morning just might give you the burst of energy you need to get through the eight hours ahead of you. Plus, Alterra and Stone Creek Coffee are giving away free coffee, baked goods and bike tune-ups for all riders. Grab a bike-pool buddy and hit the road. Who knows? You might get hooked. Think of all the money you could save on gas if you left your car in park all week? --Julie Lawrence

Applying anti-perspirant before bed -- I read this tip in a men's magazine and thought it was kind of silly. They had some medical reason that giving the underarms a once-over before bed would help reduce sweating during the day, even after a morning shower. I gave it a try and it seemed to work. Or, maybe I'm just suggestible. Give it a try and let me know. --Drew Olson
