The "right" glassware?
IKEA glasses are probably cheaper than Mason jars!

I’m not usually a stickler for having high-quality glassware. A lot of people are very particular about being able to drink their wine from an appropriate vessel. I mostly don’t care.
Recently, though, I’m having glassware issues. First there were the stunted little tumblers at Tory Row. Now it’s the water glasses at Tupelo. Or should I say water vats?
I don’t have a whole lot of complaints about the restaurant, as you’ll read on Wednesday. But I hate the ginormous Mason jars they’re using as drinking glasses!
They are a lot bigger than this in person.
1. I can barely wrap my hand around the thing.
2. They only fill them about halfway anyway. Why not use the more manageable standard-size Mason jar, then?
3. I’m not sure about how I feel about the glasses as a representation of some sort of "poverty chic" aesthetic. If you can’t afford drinking glasses and are making the most of what you have, that’s one thing. But at this point, IKEA glasses are probably cheaper than Mason jars. It’s not, actually, cool to be poor.
Do you care what kind of glassware your beverage comes in?

Before and After: The Benefits of Basic Tidying and Cable Management
Not every workplace makeover needs to involve a spending spree at Ikea and more LEDs than a flight control panel. Today’s featured workspace just needed a little tidying and cable control.
It doesn’t float, spin, flash, or appear to contain glowing alien spore, but today’s featured workspace gets the job done in a very practical and tidy way. Lifehacker reader Dani Cela just needed to tame the mess of cables at his feet and tidy up. He attached a cable basket like the one Adam used to tidy his cables under his desk. The small space under the left-hand side proved to be perfect for a shallow recycling bin, further cutting down on the things around his feet and legs. After the tidying and cable re-routing, Dani’s left with a functional workspace with all his essentials at hand. Check out the before and after links below for more detailed pictures of his cable basket and workspace.
Going to IKEA is a serious step in the stages of a relationship

One afternoon while vacuuming my apartment, there was a thud at the door. I opened and found my downstairs neighbor standing there with a weary expression.
“Hey man,” he said. “My wife wants to ask you something.”
