Paul McCartney and iTunes reached a deal late yesterday that will finally allow the online music provider to make the Beatles catalog available for download. The details of the contract have not yet been released, but presumably all twelve studio albums from the group will be formatted for online availability. Whether or not their entire […]

MSG, like aspartame before it, has gotten a bad rap. Everyone’s all, “Oh, no MSG for me, please!” Well, you know what? MSG isn’t bad for you, doesn’t cause any weird malady, and like aspartame, it makes food taste better. Turning down MSG is like refusing sugar or cinnamon or butter. It’s a processed version […]

Close your eyes (not literally) and think of a genius scientist. What’s the first image that pops into your head? Fuzzy white hair, mustache, unkempt, possibly in a sweater?

Don’t call it a rut. Call it a routine. Struggling to make it back to the gym on a regular weekly basis isn’t uncommon. It takes more than repetitions to create rock hard biceps and abs of steel. Consistency is the No. 1 habit on a list seven necessary for a successful health regimen and […]

I guess it’s a given fact that we, as geeks, want to run the world. And what a better way to have global domination that being a spy. You know, because you get to do spy things. So in thinking of the best way to be the next James (Jane, in my case) Bond, I’m […]
