Last night, my friend Fan (name changed to protect the semi-innocent… yeah, right) and I went down to Comedy Works in Denver. For those of you who don’t know what Comedy Works is – well, its exactly what it sounds like it is: a nice little semi-dive comedy club in LoDo. We decided that before [...]

WiiFit comes out on Wednesday. After I finally got my Wii (after annoying the living crap out of several area stores by calling on a daily basis to see if they had any), I’ve been pretty content with my small arsenal of games. I play: * Guitar Hero 3 * Lego Star Wars * Super [...]

I’m a big fan of snacking. I joke that I only have one meal a day, and it lasts all day. (Ok, so maybe I’m not quite that bad… but I do have a fair number of snacks that I keep around in case of munching emergency.) So, when I found this list of 20 [...]

Since I’m a registered iPod owner, I get the fun, promotional emails from Apple. Despite the fact that they break every best practice that I’ve learned for designing promotional emails, (They’re all images – very attractive on the surface but impossible to read without an HTML-enabled email program… but more about that will appear on [...]

It also can affect how you react to stressful situations, and maintain body temperature. As it happens, most Americans breathe “wrong.” For most of us, [...]

Yes, you read that right. I think I’m giving up food. In the past week, I’ve had more “bad food” experiences than I’d like to recall – including at least 3 incidents of cold chicken from well-known (and often well-liked) restaurants.

One brave couple is trying to live on $10 each for 2 weeks for food. They’re doing this in honor of the people in third world countries who make less than $1.00 per day. I’ve read through most of the comments, and I have to agree that the one thing they are not taking into [...]

Since I’m always looking for ways to burn extra calories without extra time at the gym (or in my case, any time at the gym), this seems like a good option: The No-Workout Workout. Of course, I’m not at all sure how well some of these really fit into every day life, without having people [...]

“I gotta work out. I keep saying it all the time. I keep saying I gotta start working out. It’s been about two months since I’ve worked out. And I just don’t have the time. Which uh..is odd. Because I have the time to go out to dinner. And uh..and watch tv. And get a [...]
