Nobody wants to hear it, but sugar is poison, and the way your body processes carbohydrates is by turning it into sugar.
Think of this when you drink a soda and eat potato chips - or even have a piece of bread.

Left-sided Cancer: Blame your bed and TV?
Thus, as we sleep on our coil-spring mattresses, we are in effect sleeping on an antenna that amplifies the intensity of the broadcast FM/TV radiation. Asleep on these antennas, our bodies are exposed to the amplified electromagnetic radiation for a third of our life spans. As we slumber on a metal coil-spring mattress, a wave of electromagnetic radiation envelops our bodies so that the maximum strength of the field develops 75 centimeters above the mattress in the middle of our bodies. When sleeping on the right side, the body’s left side will thereby be exposed to field strength about twice as strong as what the right side absorbs.

Adult diabetes is the one chronic disease that nobody cares to cure. Treat it, maintain control over blood sugars, but cure it? Most physicians say it’s impossible.
…
The cure? Eliminate or at least dramatically reduce carbohydrates, the foods that increase blood sugar.

Between the guy on the horse and Eric Wareheim’s commercials for Old Spice, I know the Old Spice name, I love the commercials. I still don’t buy the product, (although I did buy a three-pack of deodorant once before this campaign started). I don’t think any of my guy friends use any Old Spice product.
My grandfather, however, is an Old Spice man. His brother is an Aqua Velva man.
Old Spice is an old man smell, and old men always seem to use too much of that Old Spice aftershave. Maybe it’s time to experiment and try a new scent. It probably wouldn’t hurt to get the word old out, too.

I’ve written about this before, but services like Tumblr have almost reached parity with Wordpress in terms of core functionality. I can publish posts, create static pages, use tags, all of it. If I want to hack on the code that runs my theme, I’m free to do so (and I have). Yes, I had to sacrifice things like “Related Posts” and a customized archive page, but that’s all fine with me. The way I look at it, if my writing is any good, people will read it. I don’t need to concern myself with all of the in’s and out’s of the likes of Wordpress because I’m here to write.
My serious blog is here but all the random junk I like to share has been put on my tumblr.
Each time I think about switching, or merging the two, I wonder where I’m supposed to upload inline images. Not images for image posts, but images that are meant to work within the writing. Seems like most people get an S3 account, or just link offsite.
EDIT: Well I feel like an idiot. Turns out you can do this right in the web interface. I wish you could do it in Marsedit though.

The creeping feeling that Android is the new Windows becomes an overwhelming sensation the first time you boot up Droid X. Seven sprawling desktop screens, littered with widgets, oodles of little programs—the vast majority of which you probably don’t want or need. It’s overwhelming and utterly incomprehensible if you’re not the kind of person who’s seen at least two non-JJ Abrams Star Trek movies.
The minutes lost to clearing them to get to a reasonably clean desktop, one press-and-hold-and-swipe gesture at a time, brought me back to the sullen days of removing crapware from whiny relatives’ Sony Vaios. Breathtaking hardware, filled to the brim with crap.

Final Fantasy VI's 'Dancing Mad', a critical analysis- Destructoid
Dancing Mad is, to put it bluntly, the best fucking final boss theme in existence. (Yes, even better than One-Winged Angel!) And while I appreciated the technical mastery of the song and its use of classical styles, I didn’t fully grasp its true complexity and scope until recently. I found a good piano transcription of it earlier this year, and started learning how to play it. It wasn’t until I sat down and started picking the song apart that I recognized how it all fit together, in a perfect character study of the villain it represents. I was always bugged by the fact that Kefka seemed to be the only villain in Final Fantasy history that did not have a memorable final speech to make after the heroes defeated him. He just fades away and the tower collapses around him. Then I realized, that I was looking at his fight in the wrong way. His entire boss theme is his last speech, outlining his rise to power, and lamenting his eventual defeat. In order to break it down and illustrate what I mean, I’ll separate the piece into its four distinct movements.
Well, that’s one way of looking at it.

Deep Throat - The Depravity of Major League Eating
In the old days, eating contests were just for fun. A bunch of ordinary folks would line up at a county fair to see who could swallow the most pie. Pretty soon, they’d run out of pie, time, or belly space. Things are different now. Competitive eating has become an industry with stars, managers, corporate sponsors, international marketing, and a pro league. It’s generating more money, more exposure, and more physical abuse. Before we reach for another helping of this perversity, it’s time to ask whether we’ve had enough.
