I never knew getting a nice tan would be so tricky!
I don’t get it, maybe I’m doing something wrong. I’ve been trying to pick up some tan lately, but to almost no avail. I guess I always get bored just sitting in the sun for too long; maybe if I got some of those extra-comfortable pool chairs, it would get easier? I suppose I could [...]
The coolest way to kill your Vinyl!
According to many music lovers, analog music system – most notably vinyl, is still the best and most accurate way to hear a record. Well, I’m not going to argue with that, since I too am a romantic in that way; however I just found something interesting: the world’s smallest LP player. It doesn’t produce [...]
Head out to Washington DC for a different kind of weekend!
This weekend I feel like doing something different, so I decided I’ll pack some clothes and get into one of those Washington DC bus tours from America Limousine & Bus. The price is quite reasonable and the travel company looks alright, so I figured… why not give it a try? I’ve never been to the [...]
Tonight is the night I get into the HDTV realms!
Just my kind of luck. This morning they delivered my brand new HDTV (finally!), and I was obviously excited to try it out… except they forget the appropriate cables for HDTV, so I guess I’ll have to wait until I finish work before I get to enjoy my new gadget. Well, there’ll be plenty of [...]
What if you had some expendable cars to practice your stunt driving?
There’s something inexplicably amazing about driving a car, isn’t there? The engine sounds, the picking of gears, and the amazing feeling of road going by and whistling wind… the whole driving experience is absolutely enthralling, and sometimes I get the feeling the vehicle is an extension of my own body. And this is when I [...]
If you thought Obama was a pushover…
…. then think again! You might remember this video clip from last week, when the awesome President of the USA killed a fly that kept trying to distract him from the ongoing reasoning. Also, you may think this is all about swatting flies, but there’s much more to it. In killing the fly, Obama sent [...]
My wicked plan for increased exposure!
LOL. Now for a moment of honesty. Sometimes I feel there aren’t enough people reading my blogging rants (even though there’s usually more than a 100 daily visitors, that’s not enough to quench my thirst of traffic), so I get all kinds of crazy ideas to promote my website: such as sandwich boards, for example! [...]
On post-it notes, literature holders, and CSC – Clip Strip Corp
If there’s someone I really admire in this world – that’s the guy who invented the post-it notes or those literature display holders. Why? Simply because he was intelligent and bold enough to come up with a universally useful concept and turn it into something practical, brandable and … wholesomely profitable, of course! I remember [...]
Enjoy your life, enjoy your education!
I just found out about this intriguing concept that really feels like my cup of tea! You see, ever since I was a child I’ve been intrigued with other cultures, and I always wished I could get around to living in other countries; even during my college years, I hoped to study abroad india, but [...]
Best surreal moments in The Simpsons!
It goes without saying – how The Simpsons is one of the most interesting and long-running shows in recent history, at least as far as cartoons are concerned. With that in mind, it’s quite unlikely to take much explaining to get you acquainted with this yellow caricature for a modern american kind of family. However, [...]
Done with college? Better keep a frame of reference.
Ah… those good old college days! Quite likely the best time in a guy’s life, yet probably the time in a guy’s life that he’s prone to remember the least. That’s just too bad, isn’t it? Well, it doesn’t have to be! Sometimes remembering is living, and this is why diploma frames were invented [...]
All those watches, for such a low price? Must be wholesale!
Keeping track of time is very much a requirement in our fast-paced modern society, right? And when you think about it, there’s plenty of time-tracking to choose from, in between Men’s watches, Women’s Watches, casio watches… all kinds of watches. But if you ask me, my personal favorite are wholesale watches. Why? Well, that’s actually [...]
Dinossaurs might have been incredibly nice!
I dunno why so many people are scared silly of dinossaurs! I mean, they’re obviously such friendly creatures. Granted, they look a little bit and scary, but come on good people! It’s about time we start looking beyond apparences, right? I say it’s about time we try to see the good in everything… even dinossaurs.
Fun stuff to do with your fleas!
I dunno about yourself, but I’m really not a big fan of fleas. And even though I think it’s fascinating there are people who can train fleas to perform little stunts, I have no desire to do such thing, myself. So when it comes to keeping my pets scratch-free, a favored option is usually to [...]
Hoping with Louie Austen: you might as well!
Today is a lovely summery kind of day, so I figured it would be nice to make some musical suggestions to cheer up your mood even further. With that in mind, I’ve selected this little tune by Louie Austen, who many readers will recognize as a Sinatra of sorts. Well – truth of the matter [...]
Quite possibly… the dumbest thief ever!
Okay, so all thieves are dumb, I’ll give you that. I mean, the whole stealing thing they usually do? That’s just stupid if you ask me. Called me old-fashioned if you will, but there’s nothing like working for the daily bread. Stolen bread is unlikely to taste as good. So it’s granted, we concur that [...]
Cheap Holidays Abroad? Try turkey!
If you’ve been hoping to stumble across a great idea for Cheap Holidays Abroad, rejoice! I think I know just what you need. When it comes to inexpensive international vacations, the place where it’s at right now is none other than Turkey! This warm exotic country offers many interesting sights and traditions, along with great [...]
Will videogames eventually replace the movies?
Amazing, just amazing. I mean, take a look at this CGI video from the upcoming videogame “Assassin’s Creed II”; notice the pacing, the interplay of lights and shadows, and the subtle characterization. In my opinion, this is a much more interesting video (from a cinematic perspective) than much of the actual films that play in [...]
Sparkling shiny, like the smile of a movie star!
Who wouldn’t like to get whiter teeth? That’s obviously all the rage lately, and all the movie stars are doing it (although arguably some of those tend to over do, and the result is oftentimes just too white for comfort). I received brochures from this Atlanta cosmetic dentistry on the mail today, including a little [...]
Why it’s better to buy a furnace in the summer?
There’s much to gain from thinking out of the box! Here’s a good example : http://www.woodoutdoorfurnace.net/. So, at this point you might be going… “what sense does it make to think about purchasing a furnace when the summer is just around the corner?” Granted, no one needs a furnace in the hot summer (not unless [...]
Booking Four Seasons? Try Whatahotel.com!
If you’re a person who travels a lot – and who frequently needs to find a place to sleep out of town, this probably doesn’t come as much of a surprise: If you want to go for adventure and novelty, just book a room anywhere; but it you want to go for familiarity and comfort… [...]
On the fine line between luck and skill.
Maybe this isn’t something that comes as a surprise to the perceptive readers, but truth of the matter is there’s quite a fine line between amazing skill and outright luck. This is noticeable in many areas of life, but remarkably in sports; how many times have you watched a player make an unbelievable pass or [...]
If you think Diet + Cookies doesn’t match, read this!
I’m a big fan of anything that bridges a gap, or draws together the best from worlds seemingly incompatible. Generally speaking I tend to get excited, when I learn about something that allows people to make old things in new ways. Let’s consider weight loss, for example. I mean… at any given point in our [...]
Best idea ever: just heat up those grills!
Today I’m happy, because I was reminded of one of the things I like best about the summer! You see, just a few hours ago I was having trouble figuring out what I wanted to cook for lunch. Not there was a shortage of ingredients in the pantry – much the other way around, but [...]
Wanna hear a different kind of music? Try Idan Raichel!
I don’t know about you, but I enjoy listening to all kinds of music from all across the globe. It’s all a matter of feeling, and sometimes I find musics from certain regions are better in evoking certain moods. For example, when you feel a kind of longing and you miss something / someone you [...]
