A Cure for Gout
Well, first things first, the title is admittedly a bit sensationalized, but I believe it’s largely justified. ‘Cure’ might be too strong of a word from a scientific perspective, but it’s largely an accurate assessment of the results I’ve seen from a purely qualitative perspective. First, let me explain why ‘curing’ gout is a big […]
The 2014 Shelby GT500–A Review
Posted by in Automotive, Review on May 23, 2014
As some of you may know, back in March I traded my 2012 GT500 in on a 2014 GT500. I’ve now had the car for a little over two months, and put about 4,000 miles on it (including a trip to the track), so I wanted to give the car a proper review. Additionally, I […]
Mapex MyDentity 6-piece Shell Pack Review–With Sound Clips
For a few years now, I’ve been back into drumming pretty regularly, and have been getting by with a modestly upgraded old Tama Rockstar DX kit. While I really liked the look of the old Tama power toms, the more I played, the more I realized that getting them into a configuration that was comfortable […]
Site Migrated (Finally!)
Posted by in Uncategorized on February 9, 2014
Well, at long last, I’ve finally migrated my site from Blogger to WordPress. I’m still working on a few technicalities, but it should mostly be working at this point. If you notice any issues, please let me know.
High-Protein Deserts
Posted by in Nutrition on January 20, 2014
Over the holidays, my wife was kind enough to experiment with some high-protein deserts so I could get my sweets fix while keeping a reasonable protein intake. A couple of these were excellent, and deserve sharing. So without further ado: High-Protein Blueberry Muffins These, in my opinion, are indistinguishable from normal blueberry muffins. They are […]
Great Article on Pain

And Now For Some Unique Christmas Songs…
Posted by in Music on December 24, 2013
Here’s a selection of Christmas songs that have caught my ear over the years. A few are old standards, just reworked in a very unique way, and others are originals. All are worth a listen, though some will probably get most people out of their comfort zone. Merry Christmas everyone. Sting – Gabriel’s Message This […]
High-Protein Slow-Cooker Recipes
Posted by in Nutrition on December 20, 2013
Thanks to Jaime Lewis’ excellent ‘Stew-Roids’ series (link is NSFW), I have spent the last six months or so eating and experimenting with high-protein stew-like recipes. In general, I’ve found that I really like stews. They are pretty complete nutritionally, tasty, keep well, and generally reheat well. Also, there’s a lot of range for something […]
A Christmas Cover
Posted by in Music on December 16, 2013
I don’t often do covers, and I even less often do Christmas tunes. However, about 10 years ago, I was feeling particularly Christmas-y and decided to rework a Christmas tune. Unfortunately, I didn’t get it done before Christmas, so it never saw the light of day. This year, I decided to dust it off and […]
A Very Interesting Musical Take on Bambi
Posted by in Music on December 13, 2013
Yes, that Bambi. This is the audio of a Spastic Ink song called ‘A Wild Hare’, synced to the Disney movie Bambi. Ron Jarzombek wrote the song as a musical recreation of this scene, and it is really cool watching the two synced. As a bonus, it features some awesome musicianship, including one of my […]
