A FB friend asked me to read one of Food Babe’s posts before discounting her–This is the result
In a conversation on Facebook, I was asked to read a post or two from Food Babe before categorically dismissing her. Since I’ve only really read snippets here and there before, I decided to drop my defenses a little and read one of her posts, but to actually look up all of the claims she […]

Posted by in Uncategorized on November 6, 2014
Earlier today, I saw something posted on Facebook that got me thinking. It was this image, and it’s definitely worth checking out.

First, I think objectification […]
The Truth about your contribution to Climate Change
Posted by in Science on September 10, 2014
I’ve got something that bugs me literally every time I see a post idolizing Elon Musk for doing something green or praising some idiotic law, and it’s simply this: 98% of all of this effort is for nothing.

Site Outage
Posted by in Review on March 17, 2013
Under the subheading of ‘Why is this hard?’, I decided to transfer my domain to a new registrar, going from SOPA-loving, outage-prone Godaddy to what seemed to be highly rated (and much cheaper) 1&1. This was, by the way, mostly prompted by the exorbitant rates Godaddy wanted to charge me for renewal, something like $40 […]
“Happy Holidays, now buy my fitness/nutrition book”
If you follow any fitness or nutrition blogs, you’ve probably seen this kind of message posted.

Want to know what’s wrong with education?
Posted by in Review on October 31, 2012

Injury Update: Now with more MRIs!

Three books that destroyed my ability to enjoy standard Sci-Fi
Three books that I have read in recent years have completely eliminated my ability to enjoy your typical space-opera sci-fi. And believe it or not, I think that’s a good thing. Here’s the issue: Most sci-fi authors are not imaginative enough to envision anything that could even approximate reality in 100+ years. The most basic […]
