#170 Email Hack -- RSVME is a free application that integrates with Outlook and other email packages, and makes obtaining feedback from people simple. Instead of using an email thread to get a group consensus you can quickly and easily put together a questionnaire on any subject, from the best time for soccer practice to who's bringing what food to a party. Then select names out of your address book you want to send the questionnaire to, and send. As your friends get your email and answer your questionnaire, you get the response back in one simple-to-read report. (HT: PC Magazine)

#171 Blog Hack -- Need to link to a New York Times article from your weblog? Enter the story link into the NYT Link Generator and the site will provide you with a weblog-safe (and Times approved) link. (HT: Kevin Benson

#172 Bathroom Hack -- Reader James Cooley sent in this useful tip for shaving:

I use a wet/dry electric razor and just love it. Problem is, the typical shaving cream leaves a soapy residue inside the works which needs periodic cleaning. Instead, I use the generic equivalent of KY jelly, a water soluble lubricating gel. You only need a dab to make your face slippery and it leaves no residue in the shaver once you rinse it out. The sink doesn't get that sticky soap scum buildup, either.

#173 Know Your Fallacies -- Undistributed Middle -- The middle term in the premises of a standard form categorical syllogism never refers to all of the members of the category it describes. (Ex. All Russians were revolutionists, and all anarchists were revolutionist, therefore, all anarchists were Russians. The middle term is 'revolutionist'. While both Russians and anarchists share the common property of being revolutionist, they may be separate groups of revolutionists, and so we cannot conclude that anarchists are otherwise the same as Russians in any way.)

#174 GMail Hack -- GMail now supports different outgoing email addresses. Click on Settings (upper right-hand corner) then Accounts (second tab from the left) and choose “Add another email address” below your name. When you add an address, you will have to verify that it is indeed yours by entering the code the system sends you immediately. This protects against people making up addresses for spamming purposes or against people trying to impersonate others. You can also specify a different reply-to address for each of the addresses you set up. (HT: Lifehacker)
