Or, should I say, Happy Thanksgving I love my Turkey Day dinners. It’s one of those days when you can eat like a pig and stuff your stomach with Pumpkin Pie, Cheesecake, and all those other scrumptious goodies. And, to top it off, we can be lazy for the next 24 hours and blame it [...]

Even if you’re the healthiest eater, it won’t mean a thing if you don’t get out and exercise. Maybe that’s exaggerating the truth a little I know that I cook well for myself and usually keep away from the junk food. It helps you stay energized during the day. However, so many of us have [...]

It’s interesting how the people around you often have a subtle impact on the way you talk, in both accent and phrases. I remember back when I was in elementary school, I went to a camp where all of the kids in my group started their sentences with “Dude”. “Dude, wanna get some food?” “Dude, [...]

Do “weird” people think people are “weird”? This thought crossed my mind as I was standing in the crowded subway on my way to work. As I was looking around at the people near me, I noticed that I tended to classify them as “normal”, “strange”, and “weird”. I know I probably shouldn’t be doing [...]

After my first few jobs, I learned that the best way to answer “How do you like your new job?” is with “Ask me in 3 months”. Most of us tend to like our new jobs because we’re working with new people on new projects, where everything we do is more interesting than the last [...]

Pumpkin carving, aisles of candy, haunted houses… it’s that time of the year again Halloween is a kid’s paradise. The one time of the year you could eat gobs of candy and your parents didn’t mind. Trick-or-treating was like a rat race. Let’s see, I can do 30 homes in an hour. If I stay [...]

The camera (digital or not) is still an amazing device I’ll never fully understand. Have you ever taken a moment to think about how some device is able to take a snapshot of what your eyes see? I don’t know, maybe it’s just me, but I think it’s crazy we’re able to take something in [...]

Men partially base their preferences on physical attractiveness. But that’s not the whole story. Malcolm Gladwell gives a great example in his book, blink: John has an idea about what he wants in a woman, and that idea isn’t wrong. It’s just incomplete. The description he starts with is his conscious ideal: what he believes [...]

After 7 years, the ergometer (a.k.a. rowing machine) is still, by far, the best workout I’ve ever had at a gym. I used to be on the crew team in high school and one of the most common on-land exercises was to do agility and endurance tests using the erg. What I love about the [...]

In case you’re not a big seafood person like me, think about buying food created with omega-3 fatty acids. Research has shown that there are certain health benefits that come with a moderate consumption of omega-3 each week. Normally this is something we get naturally in our diets when we eat seafood, such as salmon. [...]
