Bake Bread in a Coffee Can for Perfectly Round, Evenly Baked Loaves with Little Crust

From Lifehacker:

If you like your sandwiches with the crusts cut off, or you’re making loaves of spiced or flavored bread to give away as gifts, the path to a perfectly cooked loaf—or multiple loaves cooked at the same time—may be as close as an old coffee can. Coffee can bread is an old, old technique designed to make it easy to bake multiple loaves at once, resulting in perfectly round slices of bread with little crust and more soft homemade bread to enjoy. Just because it’s old doesn’t mean the technique is out of date.

When digging into this tip, I found dozens of recipes for all sorts of coffee can bread, including one bakery that’s trying to revive the tradition as a way to make gift loaves of sandwich bread, pumpkin bread, and brown bread, a dark, chewy bread that’s steamed rather than baked. There’s some debate over the safety of cooking in a coffee can (and how frequently people buy coffee in cans these days—even though they’re still all over grocery stores) and which brands package their coffee in straight metal cans versus those with liners you shouldn’t heat, but everyone agrees that the result is delicious, and perfect for people who want to bake lots of bread in a short period all at once.

Anonymous Posts Open Letter to Sabu on Hacked Website

From Gizmodo:

Yesterday it was reported that Sabu hadturned against his hacker community byworking with the FBI. As a result, six key members of LulzSec have been arrested. In response, Anonymous has posted an open letter to Sabu on a website it hacked.

Forbes reports that the hacker collective attacked the website of anti-virus firm Panda Security, accusing the company of working with law enforcement agencies to help arrest 25 hackers in February. But the most interesting part of the hack is an open message to Sabu:

Use a Washer to Help Solder

From Lifehacker:

If you have a set of “helping hands” (alligator clips that hold the piece you’re working on, usually with a magnifying glass) you can make soldering wires much easier by having the hands hold a large washer. In addition to holding your wire in place the wires use the washer as a point of stability that will keep the wires from tearing apart if you use a little too much force.

This trick comes from next month’s issue of Family Handyman magazine by way of MAKE zine. Even if you don’t have a pair of helping hands, you can get the same effect by using a washer with two individual alligator clips or binder clips.

Google integrates Google+ functionality within VoiceAndroidGuys

From Android Guys:

Chances are there’s not just one person that you don’t want to hear from; there are more than likely several, though that may be the cynic in me. Likewise, there’s probably people you know that fit into other groups, like “family,” “friends,” and “mafia connections.” Google understands this, and as we all know, implemented this knowledge within Google+, bringing forth Circles, one of the product’s best features.

Carrying out their plan to make Google+ the center of the Googleverse, they’ve brought the Circle feature to another of their prominent products: Google Voice. Now you’ll be able to group your peeps together into groups, that you can give specific actions to. For example, you could have you “ex-girlfriends” group go straight to voicemail. It’s definitely more efficient than the previous way of having to do everything on a person-by-person basis. The new settings are found under an added tab, “Groups & Circles,” under the Google Voice settings.

So what do you think of the new feature? Something that you’ll be using? Let us know your thoughts in the comments! If you haven’t updated Google Voice on your device yet, you can do so by using the box below.
