Lifehacker Cook Perfect Grilled Pizza with a Pie Tin
There are lots of way to get your grilled pizza cooked to scrumptious perfection—like using tortillas for the crust. Make sure the entire pizza cooks evenly from crust to toppings with the help of a pie tin.
Turn the pie tin upside-down and cover the pizza while you grill it. The tin acts as a tiny oven, so your toppings will cook in the same amount of time it takes for the crust to get crispy. You can always prepare some pizzas ahead of time and freeze them, then throw them on the grill whenever a pizza craving hits you! Make sure to adjust the cooking time to account for the frozen state of the pizza.

Passyunk Post Neumann-Goretti to be transformed into college prep school
In recent years, Neumann-Goretti high school at 1736 S. 10th St. has seen a drastic decline in enrollment. For many reasons, it has appeared that the school is getting close to shutting its doors for good—but Neumann-Goretti isn't going down without a fight. With a new school president, Bruce Robinson, the school could be seeing […]Sent with Reeder
Lifehacker Make Your Own Homemade Frozen Pizzas for Cheap and Easy Meals
Pizza is a favorite food for a lot of people, but it can get pricey ordering delivery or buying frozen brands. By making some pizzas ahead of time at home, you can freeze them and pop them in the oven whenever your craving strikes.
Planning meals ahead of time is always a good way to save money, and it can even be healthier for you. If pizza is your favorite treat to eat, Emma Christensen at food blog The Kitchn explains that there are two key parts to freezing your own pizza: You partially bake the crust before you top and freeze it (about 3-5 minutes at 450), and you double-wrap the pizzas in plastic wrap and aluminum foil before you freeze them. Beyond that, the pizza recipe can be tricked out however you like. With this method, you can make three or four frozen pizzas—customized to your liking—for the cost of one "high-quality" brand frozen pizza. To get some more tips or recipe ideas, check out the link below.

After putting in more than 30 hours of research, interviewing six experts, repeatedly dunking boot-clad feet into frigid water-and-salt baths, walking around the icy streets of Buffalo, NY, and donning sophisticated temperature and humidity sensors most commonly used in frozen food shipping containers, we found for the second year in a row that the $100 […]Gizmodo Pat Robertson Says Demons Can Curse Your Unborn Child Through Facebook

Geekologie - Gadgets, Gizmos, and Awesome Oh My: Mom Uses Virtual Makeup App On Newborn Son
These are the results of new mother and Imgurian Unicornreality using a virtual makeup app on her 7-week old son, Gabriel. I'm not even sure what else to say, except I absolutely have to have that app. UPDATE: Apparently the app is Perfect365 - One-Tap Makeover, and it is magnificent. I've never even rated an app in the iTunes store before but I just gave this one five stars and two fake eyelashes. I'd show you my own results, but I just made myself so unbelievably glamorous I'm afraid your computer would catch fire and explode. Keep going for several more.

Philip K. Dick's imagination has been juicing TV series and movies since the early '60s, most famously inspiring Blade Runner, Total Recall and Minority Report. It should come as little surprise, therefore, to see that Amazon's pilot for Dick's The M...
There were some nice package deals on the incredible GoPro Hero4 Black around Black Friday, but this is the best cash discount we've seen, especially considering that most buyers won't have to pay sales tax. [GoPro Hero4 Black, $430]
The DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ drone has descended below $1,000, just in time for tax refund season. This model comes with a built-in camera and 3-axis gimbal for silky smooth video, and Gizmodo gave it a terrific review. We posted this deal last week, but I just ordered one for myself, and I'm giddy about it, so it's getting shared again. [DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ Quadcopter with FPV HD Video Camera and 3-Axis Gimbal, $999]
If you still enjoy receiving paper magazines in the mail, Amazon's selling subscriptions to over a dozen from Time Inc. for $5/year today. [Subscribe to a variety of Time Inc. magazines for $5/each per year]
Greenman Gaming is offering some great prices on new and upcoming digital games in their VIP sale. Here are some highlights, but check out the full list for more. Personally, I'm in for Cities: Skylines.
Don't see what you're looking for? This 20% off code is valid on almost everything else on their site. [20% off Most Digital Games with promo code KPMN32-6VRM69-6INRND. Some exclusions apply.]
These little stick-anywhere motion-sensing lights are great for cabinets, closets, sheds, and dark hallways at night, and today you can get two for the price of one.
You can't control these deadbolts with your phone or anything too futuristic, but being able to unlock your house with a key code can really come in handy when you have friends visiting, or a house sitter watching your pets. This price is only available today, or until sold out. Multiple finishes available. [Schlage BE365 PLY 619 Plymouth Keypad Deadbolt, $71]
These aren't the best iPad deals we've ever seen, but they're definitely up there. Plus, you get to choose from a huge variety of models, capacities, and colors. [Staples iPad Sale]
You've probably heard a lot about mechanical keyboards in the past few years, and one of the best models on the market is on sale right now.
Most mechanical keyboards are marketed towards gamers, but Das Keyboards are a typist's dream. Their newest, the Das Keyboard 4, is only $125 shipped for a refurb right now, a significant savings off of the usual $169 price tag. You even get to choose from either the Professional or blank key-sporting Ultimate, as well as Cherry MX Blue or Brown switches.
While the key caps differ between the two models, they both have the same core feature set.
- Media controls with oversized volume knob
- Two-port USB 3.0 SuperSpeed hub
- Anodized aluminium top panel
- Full n-key rollover
- Gold-plated mechanical key switches
As for the switches, Lifehacker has a great explainer on the different options, and you can also buy an inexpensive sampler to try all of them yourself. I prefer the obnoxiously-loud Blue switches myself, but Browns are more popular among gamers, and a bit less clicky. [Woot]
If you're curious about electric shavers, this Braun Series 3 is only $50 today, and is backed up by a 4.3 star review average on over 1,100 reviews. [Braun Series 3-340s Wet & Dry Electric Shaver, $50]

Giant ice cubes are perfect for drinks that you don't want to dilute, and the Tovolo King Cube is one of the most big cube ice tray you can get. The green model is under $6 today, which is the best price we've ever seen. [Tovolo King Cube Square Ice Cube Tray, $6]
Over the weekend, Gizmodo EIC Annalee Newitz waxed poetic about her new Android-compatible flash drive, and we've found a terrific deal today on a similar item. It still has a microUSB connector opposite the standard USB, but it's even smaller than the Corsair she wrote about, and cheaper too. So why would you want one of these things?
The awesome part is that it has a micro USB connector on one side, and USB 3.0 on the other. Perfect for moving all the pictures and vids from my phone to another machine. I always carry a spare flash drive with me, and this was a big upgrade — mostly because I'm sick of uploading files from my phone to Dropbox or Drive in order to get them onto my laptop. I want to save things locally, not pass them through somebody else's server farm.
I'd also add that these are great for storing movies and other media for long trips, especially if your phone or tablet is running low on storage. But whatever your motivations, we don't know how long this deal is set to last, so grab one while you can. There are also smaller capacities available at lower prices. [Kingston Data Traveler 64GB, $29]
Today on Amazon, you can score a 6-port USB charger for just $20, or bundle it with a variety of other accessories for $26.

Or, bundle it with the following for $26. Add both to cart and use the appropriate promo code.
If you just want the charging hub, and don't need a sixth port, here's a cheaper option. [ Aukey 40W / 8A 5 Ports USB Desktop Charging Station, $17 with promo code 8QYH6RNE]
We expected Game of Thrones to shoot up in price immediately after release, but it's holding steady at $35, at least for today. Grab it while you can.
The Memory Garden was one of Charlie Jane Anders' favorite science fiction/fantasy books of 2014. Here's what she had to say about it:
Rickert's quiet, introspective story about three aging witches who used to be best friends is a perfect complement to Grossman's trilogy, actually — it has some of the same thoughtful exploration of magic and its consequences. But it's also impressive how much suspense Rickert manages to achieve in a book where the stakes are super low. I was on the edge of my seat reading about the precarious coming of age of a young girl who was found in a shoe box, and now lives in a house surrounded by a garden of discarded shoes.
We're not sure what the special occasion is, but there are a ton of Studio Ghibli Blu-rays down to $20 right now.
Don't settle for Apple's overpriced Lightning cables.

It was almost a full year ago that Ikea announced plans for a vegetarian meatball, and now a date is set for the arrival of the now-vegan meatballs in U.S. stores.

When you build your own PC, PCPartPicker is one of the best tools to organize your build and save you money. It just got a major update, overhauling the look and feel of the site and adding new features to make your build easier.
The site now looks much better, and includes a significant performance boost so that things move a little faster. Parts are now sorted by popularity, so that the parts you want will be closer to the top, and you can sort your saved builds however you want.
Best of all, though, PCPartPicker now includes a price filter for parts, builds, and build guides, so you can only see the stuff that fits your budget. Anyone can publish a build guide now (not just staff), so you're also likely to find a bunch of build guides, no matter what your needs.
