Tim Ferriss is a pretty well known fraud.  Other people have written about how his reality is far from what he preached in 4HWW.  It’s also well-known that many of his accomplishments are dubious at best.  Maybe the most glaring example is his Chinese kickboxing championship in which he exploited a loophole in the rules [...]

Every time I am stuck in snarled stop-and-go traffic I am reminded of the same thing: it shouldn’t be this way. The unstoppable march of technology has made it possible for the vast majority of the people sitting in their cars, parked on the freeway sipping their latte to do the exact same job without [...]

One of my favorite logical screw-ups that people make is confusing correlation or association with causation. Reading this article on the BP mess I noticed a blatant confusion of causation and association. “These individuals are working out in the heat of the sun. These are long days.

I started using Foursquare about a year ago. It was neat, and I hoped that it would catch on in a bigger way with more of my friends. I can imagine a world where you check Foursquare to see where your friends are out and about and go meet up with them. That world hasn’t [...]

Starbucks Classic Coffee Cake: 420 cals Grande Pumpkin Spice Latte: 380 PF Chang’s Kung Pao Chicken: 1228 Calories Pizza Hut Tuscani Pasta: 2480 calories Burger King [...]

Whatever you do tomorrow (today). Vote. No excuses. Register at the polls. Get it done. There is nothing you could do on November 4th that is more important.

Jeremy and I have gone through some interesting and trying times. When these times come up I am always very negative and try to imagine all the worst possible outcomes. Without fail, Jeremy is optimistic and has repeated over and over again to me “Adversity brings opportunity.” I’ll never forget the first time he told [...]

I’ve complained about Ticketmaster before. This blew my mind. I’m trying to wrap up a bunch of Fighters features before going to Cancun, and I decided that it might be a good idea to pass up my season tickets for tomorrow night’s NHL playoff game 2 of the Wild vs Colorado. I went on the [...]
