And now for something completely different
Yesterday I bought a couple of pen holders for my desk. This is the latest step in an ongoing effort to set up my home office to be comfortable, practical, and workable. I spend lots of time at my computer, but ever since I ditched my glass corner desk about - damn - a year [...]

Why soda pop is so good for you:
I know none of you actually drink soda. But … just for good measure, here is a gut-wrenching close-up look at what sippin’ that can o’ Coke gets you:
In The First 10 minutes: 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. (100% of your recommended daily intake.) You don’t immediately vomit from the overwhelming sweetness because [...]

San Diego’s water is safe and healthy to drink for most people*
Living in a semi-arid land like San Diego has made me conscious of potable water as a precious and scarce natural resource. Growing up in NorCal, I remember drinking water from the faucet or even the hose without a second thought. Since we moved to San Diego 17 years ago and finding the [...]

Focus, consistency, discipline
For all of my harping last week about the evils of teevee (or tell-lie-vision, as xtina says), one thing I did not focus on is my own role injecting the poison into my brain. Certainly teevee is chock full of junk, but it also can occupy a non-destructive place in the hands of a [...]

You are not alone, nor am I
I had a brief, but most wonderful, conversation with my sister this morning, wherein I learned a little bit about the mischievous side of my wonderful nephew. On our call, my sister mentions to me that it must be harder for me to give up ms. teevee, being single and all. I know what she [...]

Creating, one of the many joys of Freedom
Aside from my recent spate of posts here at the Mutant mother ship, I have, in the past two days, also embarked on a fresh effort to do some blogging related to my professional pursuits.

even more lessing
Clearly, I am on a roll. Aside from dispatching my television, caffeine addiction, and material possessions, I also recently embarked on a desktop purge.
The cleansing of my desktop was spurred by a GTD-related blog post (from Zen Habits), which emphasized the importance of clearing your workspace of clutter. It championed the virtue of removing the [...]

less is more
Whether due to circumstance or nature, I cannot say for sure, but I am a big believer in ‘traveling light’. I feel better when I shed the extra baggage that I - like you - pick up along the path of life. Material possessions, habits, toxins, emotions - all can become weights that hold us [...]

neither coffee nor caffeine shall rule my world
I think it was about, I don’t know, four or five months ago that I did an herbal digestive cleanse. I used to do these cleanses regularly, many years ago, as far back as my college days (!). Prior to this latest cleanse, it had been probably a couple of years.
