This past week was pretty busy. A group of friends put together this pretty big event titled POW WOW. The inevitability of it all is that I fell mad behind… sucks when you really can’t maintain a workload that doesn’t grow if you don’t touch it every 12 hours. The feeling of being overwhelmed sort of got to me on Friday, but that’s nothing I won’t get over eventually… you just learn to love it and appreciate it in some sick sadistic way… ha.

A lot of nutrition and food related articles… can you tell what’s on my mind? I wish I had taken nutrition in university rather than economics haha. But I probably wouldn’t be here writing this cause i probably would have FOUND a job.

#1. ***Pictures: The Big Picture: Vancouver 2010, Part 1
And Sunday marks the end of it all…

#2. Legendary Photographer Gives Tips for Low-Light Shots
I feel that often you can get a lot of good and more accurate (as in conveying the mood) by stopping down your exposure.

#3. Bacon Lombardi Trophy
Looks DELICIOUS.

#4. Video: Olympic Snowboarder’s “Street” Style Offends Japanese Officials
I think the dude looks pretty steezy in a way only the Japanese can do haha.

Fuck the bun and the fries, this shit looks legit.

#6. Gay Soldiers Don’t Cause Disruption, Study Says
Continuing on with the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell protocol… another bit of ammo to get rid of that rule.

#7. ***The Paleo, Primal, Evolutionary Distinction: Avoidance Behavior
For a lot of people, diets often create a condition where you “seek” certain things. That is you focus primarily on say a particular food. But spinning it a different way, “avoiding” certain foods is much easier to follow and adhere to and still lets you keep an open menu.

#8. Hacking Inquiry Puts China’s Elite in New Light
This whole shit is getting pretty messy regarding the China Hacking scandal… it’s becoming some weird intertwined mess.

#9. For Job as Mets’ Starting Catcher, Caracas Will Have Been Worth It
While I’m aware of the unglamorous life of playing non-Big League ball… Going to Venezuela sounds pretty crazy where you live with a new lifestyle and the worry of actual kidnappings.

#10. Discovering Alaskan King Salmon
Breakdown each salmon and its respective differences.

#11. SSS – Does Education Make You Happy
It makes me happy anyways… Some quick studies that show those that are well educated are potentially more happy. The ability to be educated is everywhere, so don’t waste it.

#12. SSS – Ignore “Use By” Dates?
I would probably use 2 week old plain yogurt…

#13. Recipe: Cocoa and Coconut Snacks
This looks so fucking good. That’s what sucks about Hong Kong, the lack of kitchen space means no food processor.

#14. SSS – Fancy Weed Study Endorses Volcano Brand of Vaporizer
Would I blaze… if it was coming out of a Volcano… hmmm?

#15. SSS – Pictures: The 20 Funniest Figure Skating Faces
I’m sure you could interchange “Figure Skating” with any other sport.

#16. SSS – Pictures: DUREX + Typography = Type Sex
Clever ad campaign from DUREX.

#17. SSS – Google Chrome Extension: Unofficial Better Gmail for Chrome Bends Gmail to Your Will
I 1000000000% co-sign this Google Chrome Extension

#18. Pictures: The Hundreds: Art of Work | For Contemporary Art, Context Is Counterproductive
In the past, Bobby Hundreds has often explained some of his graphics. Personally I like that, but in this latest post he didn’t really say much, but as it stands maybe you will like it more based on the article that follows suit.

#19. SSS – Gulp! Gourmet Japanese noodle soup for $100 a bowl
I hate it when people try to turn utilitarian food into some pretentious bullshit, like $30 hot dogs.

#21. SSS – “Typeface” Creates a Typeface From Your Face Type
My face would probably yield a very ugly font.

#22. For Professor, Fury Just Beneath the Surface
Yeh, this Amy Bishop lady is a fucking nut case.

#23. Will Airlines and Passengers Call a Truce?
I feel for my American counterparts who put up with terrible airline service and increasing prices.

#24. ***The Breast Whisperer
I’ve developed this weird fascination with breast-feeding… why? Maybe it started when I read about how lactating moms can burn 500-600 calories a day breast feeding… but anyways this lady is apparently the go-to lady on how to make sure a mom is doing what she does beast… offering a teet to suck on.

#25. ***Video: The Best Edited Football Video of All-Time
Well… maybe not the best, but this compilation of all things that embody football is REALLY good.

N-O H-O-M-O

#28. 20 Unholy Recipies: Dishes So Awful We Had to Make Them
Some real shockers on this one.

#29. ***Fashion’s Military Invasion Rolls On
Good article that talks about how military-inspired garbs are essentially timeless and with the persistent wars going on across the world… we’re all quite familiar with the aesthetic of military fashion.

#30. SSS – Make Meetings More Productive By Arguing
Makes sense, you need somebody to question and poke holes in your initiatives to ensure they’re able to withstand any problems down the line.

#31. SSS – The Man Behind MacGyver: Swiss Army Knife or Duct Tape?
I didn’t care so much for the part at the end that talked about his lawsuits, but seems like an interesting guy… who wouldn’t want some MacGyver ingenuity?

#32. SSS – Can Entrepreneurs Be Made?
I think entrepreneurs much like athletes are probably quite similar… if you take an athlete and give him the opportunity to play a wealth of sports, you’ll probably find he might even be better at one sport than the ones he’s playing now.

#33. ***It;’s The Crap: Just Eat Real Food
Forget any diet, I think you can keep super healthy without a shitty processed diet.

#34. 2 Bite-Sized Eateries Too Popular for Their Neighbors’ Good
I can’t imagine waiting 2 hours for a sandwich…

Article talks about the body composition of those who don’t follow an “industrial nation” prescribed diet.

#37. ***The China Study and T. Colin Campbell on Amazon’s Low-Carb Forum
Long-read, but basically, a diet based on carbohydrates is still largely without any scientific credibility if you really look closely at the studies they put out there. Even this Campbell cat just spews bullshit.

#38. Review: Incase Skate Messenger Bag
I love product reviews, even I have no intention of buying or owning that product haha.

#39. ***Acai, a Global Super Fruit, Is Dinner in the Amazon
Dinner’s served with a side of Acai… but the popularity of Acai has enabled a new level of living for farmers.

Round things off… basically cholesterol isn’t the almighty indicator of health as it has been utilized for so long.
