Puddles.
A few days ago at the gym, as I walked toward the bank of treadmills, I noticed a guy giving an elliptical machine the workout of its life. I mean he was going totally ape-shit crazy. Not only had he placed a large towel underneath the pedals to catch his sweat, as it was LITERALLY pouring off his body, but the towel had become saturated and the excess sweat had begun to trail outward from the...

SlyDial →
via UrbanDaddy:
Sometimes, you’re the bearer of bad news. Canceled plans. Calling in “sick.” And the old “I never want to see you again” chestnut. On those occasions, Slydial—a service that lets you call straight to someone’s voicemail—has had your back. Now that you can download it straight to your BlackBerry, you’ll have even more precious time to...

Elevator Small Talk
This morning I had to make a run to the storage room to fetch a few boxes, so I grabbed my trusty cart and hopped on the elevator. A few stops down, three people got on. They talked to themselves for a few seconds and then let the conversation die. Apparently uncomfortable with the silence, the guy in the group turned to me and said, “well that’s a nice little cart.”
Really?...

no one expects you to save the world
The headlines are begging for your help. Thousands needing homes, food. But here, your own children, like inexpert stilt-walkers, flirt too often with obstacles in the street. It’s no wonder you keep eyes glued to them. The demands of love, or a job, the hard winter reining you in - it takes all your muscle to keep your own life upright. And though you know what you have is fortune compared to the...

Adieu, Conan →
But here’s why it matters. Because it’s not just about some dumb TV show. It’s not just poop jokes and self-pleasuring members of the ursine family. In the show’s waning moments, O’Brien sat at his desk and told the audience that, “Tonight I’m allowed to say whatever I want.” And what he said, after two weeks of sticking it to the man, was this: “I’ve...

Kraft singles commercial:
A country is as good as its cheese. Good thing ours doesn’t have holes in it!
Shut up and sit down Kraft Singles. Your “cheese” barely made it to earn the title cheese. Pure chemical fabrication with a HINT of cheddar cheese. And you go and make fun of Swiss cheese? So wrong.
I am starting to really HATE commercials.

Shaken and stirred.
A co-worker entertained some travel writers last night at a local bourbon lounge. Their server, a guy in his forties, greeted them and said he’d return with water for the table. He then walked to the bar and suddenly hit the floor. He was dead. EMS pumped his chest while everyone, my co-worker’s table included, watched as they failed to revive him. I found out that he’d been feeling weak and...

randyhaddock:
Usually, when someone says their iPhone is a life saver, they are talking about the phone helping them find a good takeout spot or an emergency bathroom.
When Dan Woolley says it, he really means it. He used a medical app saved on his phone to treat a leg injury after the Hotel Montana in Port-au-Prince collapsed around him.
Woolley, who is from Colorado Springs, is one of the...

Great selection of workouts to add to your iPod. The Angel Body workout WILL KILL YOU.
In case you have wicked dry winter skin, like me.
Q. I apply heavy cream morning and night, but I’m still dry from head to toe. What’s the deal?
A. Frosting-thick moisturizer may seem like the creme de la creme, but its texture can prevent softening ingredients from penetrating. (Who knew?) Instead, try a lighter lotion with dimethicone. “It creates a glove-like layer that locks in your natural moisture as well as...

Now, first things first: despite the name, this doesn’t work a damned thing like LinkedIn. But that’s okay—you’re not here to get a job promotion, post a résumé or poke anyone. No, this is about drinking—where to do it, what to have and who to have it with. (Think of it as a one-stop resource for all the things you’ll forget the morning after.) And all...

Break in, break down.
Our neighbor’s son’s car was stolen two nights ago, and the morning after the robbery our neighbor called to ask if we had heard anything suspicious. We had not. I was rather unnerved by this incident, given that our cars were parked literally five feet from the car that was stolen, and wondered why ours weren’t also jacked, or at least vandalized. (And secretly I still wonder if...
