'''Don't be shy.''' Can you do something that other people find useful, entertaining, or impressive? Don't hide it under a bushel! Instead, post here. Put your proficiency in parentheses. Add new categories and skills as appropriate.
This page was getting pretty big and hard to navigate/read/edit, so it's broken into categories. Consider this the "Miscellaneous Skills" section.

[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06dr David Rodriguez '06] has changed more than his fair share of tires and learned that salt+rust will effectively glue a wheel onto the axle. Solution? Wedge the flat edge of your hubcap-removal tool into the jammed area and whack the crap out of it with a hammer. Eventually, if you're lucky, that wheel will pop right off.==Burping===
