The World’s Only Female 10th Degree Black Belt (She’s 98)
I love celebrating the life victories of strong and successful women. I especially like to do this when they break a belief barrier. When that happens, our perspective changes, and we start to truly believe that anything is possible. Take beauty and age for example. There has long been a myth that o ...
The Japanese Sleeping Capsule For Nighttime Workaholics
Do you ever work late at your office? I do all the time. Misty and I have joked many times that we've woken up in the middle of the night with keyboard forehead, which is the impression your keyboard makes on your skin when you fall asleep on it.

A Rare Look At The War In Afghanistan Captured On An iPhone
As an American, I know that our country is almost always at war, or at least it has been for the past decade or longer.

The Guide To Employee Morale [Humor]
I've been reading more and more reports lately that talk about how much Americans don't like their jobs. It's really disturbing, considering how much time we spend working during the day. I started a conversation about this on my facebook last week. I haven't worked in a traditional office for over ...
Photography: High Resolution Guts Of Candy Bars Scanned
I remember back in the days when scanners and printers were only used for documents. That was a loooong time ago. Combined with new technology, today scanners and printers can do some stuff that would blow your mind. Just the fact that we can create a wearable bikini and edible food from 3D printers ...
Old People In Love: A Warm & Fuzzy Photography Collection
In an earlier article today, I asked if you would want to live forever, if you could. Now I have another question for you. Do you believe love lasts forever?

1962 vs. 2011: The Price Tag On Living Life
People are always comparing Microsoft with Apple. We even do it a lot on this blog. It's just such a great story. It's like watching a movie play out in real life. Here's an interesting little tidbit... Did you know that during the last quarter, Apple took in more revenue from iPhone and iPad sales ...
How To: Live Forever (Ok, Maybe Not, But Almost)
If you could live forever, would you want to? Seriously, if there was a way, aside from becoming a vampire, that you could live forever and never die, would that appeal to you? I don't even have to think about it for more than a minute. My answer is heck no. As a matter of fact, I'm looking forward ...
College Students & Technology: A Sign Of The Times
Over the past few months, there has been some interesting information released regarding students and how they use social media and technology in general.

The Art & Science Behind The Perfect S’more
If you love spending weekends in the mountains like I do, you know that everything tastes better when it's cooked over a campfire. When I'm in the city, I would never choose to eat Beanee Weenees or Easy Cheese on crackers, but in the woods, suddenly that stuff is a gourmet meal, and it tastes delic ...
Commercialism Illustrated: The Room Adorned With 100,000 Dollar Bills
With the economy in a state of uncertainty at the moment, it's very interesting to me to see how people choose to spend their money. I like to write about it sometimes, not from the perspective of judging whether or not I agree with it, but more from the standpoint of just being an observer.
Yest ...
10 Insects That Look Like Aliens
I know a lot of ladies are squeamish when it comes to bugs. I'm not one of them. Since I grew up in a small town in rural South Carolina, I've seen it all. I can hang with wildlife that would make most grown men shiver. I'm not saying that to brag, but rather to tell you that it has to be a really, ...
Study Finds Americans Love Their Gadgets More Than Family
Hmm... I'm not so sure I even want to be writing this article because it's kinda sad. Of course, that is assuming this information is true. Sometimes when we see these studies, the information is based on a survey of a very small group of people in an isolated area of the country, so the results can ...
Science: What Your Eye Color Reveals About You
Did you know that no two people have the exact same eye color? It's true! Did you know that every person who has blue eyes comes from the same ancestor? Everyone with blue eyes has a very specific DNA difference. Many of us know that when most babies are first born, their eyes are a hazy bluish colo ...
