How to remove silicone residue from around sinks?
When you say silicone, I think of caulk. I always use Goof Off to remove things like glue, caulk, ink, paint, and so on. I find lots of uses for it around the house when I'm working on projects. They sell it at the Home Depot (any home center) for less than $5. The Goof Off will loosen the silicone a lot. You can also use a putty knife or razor blade and pliers to help remove it. The best stuff I found is Motsenbocker's Lift off Silicone Latex caulk & foam sealant remover. It's easy to use and works fast.

How do you caulk windows yourself?
Use an exterior window caulk. If you plan to paint over it make sure it is "paintable" caulk. Run the bead of caulk using a caulking gun. You can smooth out the bead with your finger and clean up any residual caulk with a wet rag (this clean uo only works if the caulk is water based...check the tube to make sure it is....it's easier if it is) If you use silicone caulk you can't paint it and you cannot clean up any errors with a wet rag so unless you are real exact in applying the bead I would avoid this type of caulk.
