Coca-Cola Fast Fun Facts [Infographic]
Last month when Coca-Cola celebrated its 125-year anniversary, I remember everyone in Atlanta was celebrating.

I consider being a geek one of the most honorable ways to live that I can think of. Not only is it a lifestyle, but it is also a way to make some rather cool friends.

12 Bird Nests In Unusual Places: Get Inspired By Nature
I've always had a soft spot for bird nests and the baby birds that the mamas take care of inside those nests. I've written before about Tweet-Tweet, my childhood pet.

What Your Daily Preferences Reveal About Your Personality
We've all seen the little questionnaires that supposedly pinpoint different personality types. You know, the questions like, "Do you wear boxers or briefs?" or "Are you a dog person or a cat person?"

Tipping Etiquette Around The World [Infographic]
I think I have touched on this subject before, and I didn't get any more clever because of it. As you can read from one of my earlier articles, tipping is a pretty interesting concept, and it is handled differently in each country around the world. In the U.S., I always tipped 20% if not more. It is ...
The Healing Power Of Banana Peels
Apparently banana peels are a kind of miracle drug, and I'm just now finding out about it. Since I'm not a big fan of medicine, I'm really excited about this.

The word "philanthropy" gets thrown around a lot these days. I see more and more people referring to it in their posts, and even in their tweets.

How To: Turn Rain Puddles Into Duck Ponds
Most people don't like rainy days. I really like them, but I'm kinda strange like that. I love how rain smells, and how it feels.

Gooey Sticky Popcorn Cake: The Ultimate Movie Snack
Even though this isn't a food blog, we still have fun writing about food designs. This is especially true when they look like works of art.

How To: Know When To Work For Free (Freelancers)
If you are a self-employed freelancer or consultant with any amount of success under your belt, you have no doubt had to deal with people asking you to work for free.
