It’s easy to find out with this handy chart from the Center for Science in Public Interest. I was very interested to see that my favorite colas have the most caffeine in them. I used to drink for or five of these a day back when I was an idiot an avid video gamer and […]

This is a nice little write-up on why most people don’t or won’t ride a bicycle to work and how to get over it. I know a lot of this stuff has held me back from the bicycle commute. If the thought has crossed your mind, give this article by Paul Dorn a look.

Me:
This picture of a Hello Kitty tooth implant was posted on Boing Boing a few days ago. Is this a Photo-chop or what?
Melynda (My dentist and lovely wife):
While it’s possible that picture is real, most likely, it’s a fake. When a dentist places a crown on your tooth, or on your implant, or […]

Another week, that is.
We were a little slow today with only one story. I’m in Davenport, Iowa at a river-house with family, which is great. But it also means I’ve been having the pleasure of ad-supported dial-up a-la-NetZero + Internet Explorer, which I will rate on a scale of 1 to 10 as, “blows”.
But have […]

This is an article from Wikipedia that I found extremely entertaining to read. It’s a list of history’s most bizzare deaths, natural and otherwise, from 456 B.C. - 2006 A.D.
A few of my favorites:
121 BC: Gaius Gracchus, Roman tribune, according to the ancient Greek historian Plutarch, was executed by assassins out to receive a bounty […]

I love my iPod. I love biking.
Both of these things are good by themselves, but an in-canal earphone + cyclist on public roads = crazy dangerous.
Which brings me to Slipstreamz. It’s a very cool idea. You see, it holds your earphone an inch or so away from your ear, so you get your music without […]

In defense of the American penchant for overeating, we really can’t help it. We’re surrounded by advertisements about food with dancing chickens and singing cows, food contests, and grocery store free samples of everything from nachos to beefsteak. Even our entertainment, like movies, often focuses on eating.
We all have our favorite food flicks, such as […]

This could affect your mental health in a very positive way. I’ve never wanted to drop the cash on a PDA, and all the organizers I’ve seen are too cumbersome for me. Plus, occasionally, the pen is mightier than the Central Processing Unit. As long as it’s writing on a sheet of paper that was […]

Amazon is doing a major clean out of their Adidas products from their Men’s, Women’s, and Children’s departments. I used Adidas shoes (running, grass cleats, and indoor) and their bags for years when I played soccer. They hold up well and the free shipping is just icing on the cake.
