This post is a step away from my travel posts. It also may be seen as a step away from relevancy, but I think I’ve stumbled upon an important point.
First and foremost, the ice maker is one of the greatest invention of the modern era. Cold beverages are nice, but extra-cold drinks are [...]

Today’s post is a big shoutout to my new favorite baby, Anna Caroline Henley. For the record, it has been absolutely gorgeous in Paris the last few days. Correlation? Causation? Either one is a good sign. Now I’ll admit I’m unclear on what my relation to her is called exactly, but [...]

So the 2nd leading story online at ajc.com last week was about a man having sex with his dog. This is a bad sign. Perhaps this is why the AJC has so few quality stories – nobody reads them. Another issue dominating the news is the Beer Summit with Obama, Gates, and [...]

So the Metro Atlanta Water issue got a couple articles in today’s AJC and has been getting significant press since the Minnesota judge decided to cut our water off from Lanier in three years if we don’t work something out to change the law in place. Quite a weird thought that the metro area [...]

Coffee Shops
I love coffee shops. I love coffee shops alone, with a friend, and even with a group. Actually I hate groups in coffee shops, there are bars for that. If a group can coexist with the coffee shop atmosphere without messing up all of the wannabe artistic flow, then they are [...]

Last summer I slaved away at Lowe’s from march through august, making a pretty good sum of money along the way, but also despising the job and more than anything the managers and the retail atmosphere. Helping customers isn’t bad at all, but when the higher-ups start barking out random directions the job goes [...]

I haven’t updated in awhile, but I plan on soon compiling a list and posting on how to eat what I consider a healthy diet (meat, veggies, fruits, nuts) cheaply. Being at college certainly makes one think about cost more often and I’ve been trying to figure out what to get to maximize my [...]

I finished Gary Taubes’ Good Calories, Bad Calories several days ago. The book was an incredible read, easily the best book I’ve ever read on nutrition. It doesn’t cover everything I would like to know, which would be difficult, but it does an incredible job of examining the evidence from a scientific approach. [...]

Last week I went to see the doctor to inquire about getting a blood test done to check my levels of various indicators such as cholesterol, testosterone, GH, IGF-1, etc. I had asked once before with a different doctor and he was very resistant, saying it was expensive and pointless. I guess I [...]

As I peruse many other sites and forums about how we should be eating, especially those that propose low carbohydrate diets, I find that many people are a little bit concerned with how much it costs to eat the way of our paleolithic ancestors. As a college student I can empathize with these cost [...]
