Can’t Leave That Cell Phone Behind

Saturday, March 19th, 2011

So I've been on vacation in Florida visiting my parents and I must say that having a pool a two-minute walk up the street from their condo is mighty nice.  My daily routine has pretty much consisted of getting up, enjoying a lazy breakfast, and heading out to the pool ...

The Story of Stuff

Friday, March 18th, 2011

This is an amazing website, consisting of short and informative animated videos which all relate to the story of stuff.  Aka, where does all of our stuff come from, and where does it end up?  What is the ultimate cost to the environment?  What can we do? I found the videos ...

RSVP?

Wednesday, January 5th, 2011

I recently read an interesting article (see link below) about the new(ish) phenomenon of people refusing to RSVP for parties, events, etc.  Remember the good old days when "evite" first came out?  It felt special to get an invitation and at least in my experience, far more people responded to ...

Do You Know What Your Food Eats?

Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010

Here's another stimulating article that really gets you thinking about the food industry and the good old FDA.  You just gotta love how much the folks at the FDA care about what we eat, eats.  A few of the interesting components of animal feed: bone meal, slaughterhouse wastes, arsenic (YES ...

Some Food Thoughts

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

The idea that the local/organic/sustainable food movement represents a form of elitism could not be further from the truth.  While this topic could fill an entire book, I though I’d make a short and succinct case as to why this is ludicrous. For me, there are three tenants at the heart ...

Superstitious? Me?

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

So it’s been a little over a month since the Boston Celtics lost in heartbreaking fashion to the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 7 of the 2010 NBA Finals.  The  not-as-mature me of a few years ago would have dwelled on this loss for months.  The somewhat-more-mature me of today ...

I am pleased to announce that my first job as a Bernese Mountain Dog Consultant (BMDC) went extremely well.  I was able to draw upon my years of experience throughout the ten days that I spent with Moby.  I can confidently say that I lived up to my Level 3-c ...

After a lifetime of experience, training, and study, I am proud to announce that I have recently decided to become a Bernese Mountain Dog Consultant (BMDC). Yep, that’s right, my first consulting job as a BMDC starts tomorrow. There aren’t many BMDCs out there (at least in America) that can match my ...

The Big Ticket

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

Forget about Tom Brady, Wes Welker, or Roger Federer.  My current man-crush is solely focused on Kevin “The Big Ticket” Garnett, also known simply as KG.  Being a Boston Celtics fan, I have only truly appreciated the effort that KG plays with on both the offensive and defensive ends for ...
