A couple days ago, I posted an article entitled “Radio Sucks.” Pretty poetic, huh? But at least it’s to the point, that finding/listening to music nowadays is a chore, and with all the technology out there trying to ‘help’ us, I find it even harder to filter out the crap and just listen […]

I thought it was built-in only for Evolution, you know, that mini-calendar that opens up when you click on the time/date in Gnome’s panel. Well, it is actually possible to have it open (read only, though) another calendar, as long as it’s web-based. [note: there are some other possibilities, but I don’t understand […]

I have a love/hate relationship with the fast-fashion trend, which has been growing lately with no end in sight. On the one hand, cheap disposable clothes allow the average consumer to keep up with fleeting styles, while on the other hand, upcoming fashion designers (like me) feel like we have no chance trying to […]

I’m giggling at the title… If you’re persian, you know why. Picture in your head one of those persian commercials over-pronouncing the oaaaahhh in blooaaaag. And then “haaaaaa”. Funny. Almost as good as this guy’s article, “the Persian Blogestan.” You gotta love it. Plus he has some very […]

…and so does satellite. I even get sick of my mp3 player, and now it’s broken anyways… In my car I still have a tape player. With no way of taping anything anymore, I can only listen to old, old “mixtapes” I made years ago. These amateur tapes have songs that […]

No, this wasn’t a scam I from a bad ebayer. Instead, it was a lot of bad luck (?) all at the same time that made my ebay item cost an extra $100 and 2 hours of my time, plus gas. You see, I don’t have a home mailbox, so instead I use […]

A while back I became fascinated with ‘home remedies.’ After seeing countless expensive products, medicines, & cosmetics not work, I thought there must be better, and cheaper, ways to take care of myself.
One of my first discoveries was baking soda, an ingredient for my chocolate chip cookies, as well as a staple air-freshener for […]

     I like my apps tiny yet robust. Feature-rich but without the baggage. Less bloat, extra strength. I say no to CPU hogs, yes to “pound-for-pound” best fighters, like Bruce Lee. If they can run on my desktop background without affecting anything else, that’s the ideal for me…I don’t have to waste […]

     I just got my website hosting bill in the (e)mail yesterday, and it got me thinking about the good & bad between web hosting companies.
     Right now I am using two different web hosts for my sites: Lunarpages and 1&1. Both are good, but they are totally different. I see Lunarpages more as a […]

     The answer is yes. Studies show that there are chemicals, such as high levels of chlorine (!!!) in our regular bath & sink water that is ruining our skin. I first heard about this a while back through an interesting article in the fashion magazine W.
Since I don’t want to be aging my […]
