Growing up is either expensive or incredibly...
I’ve recently come to the conclusion that my tastes have exceeded my income. I also recently made the decision not to purchase non-essentials unless I absolutely love them. This has created quite the predicament, particularly with clothing and the like.
A prime example of late has been shoes and bags. I am in need of a good weekend bag as I’ve been traveling to Chicago quite a bit....

Home ownership
Today, I spent a solid 8 hours killing dandelions and digging grass out of the cracks in my driveway. If there was ever any doubt in my mind that the government wants us to own homes to control us, it is gone.
The worst part? I feel really good about how nice my lawn is going to look this summer after I lay down more seed. That’s how you know they’ve really gotcha.

It's Cincy Restaurant Week!

Honey DOES heal sore throats
I’ve been saying for years that honey cures my sore throats/sinus infections, to which most people just say whatever kid, you just want an excuse to drink tea with too much honey in it. While that part may be true, it turns out I wasn’t entirely wrong.
According to a number of studies, most honey, even processed honey, has at least some anti-bacterial properties. And medical grade...

When "high design" isn't.
Working with designers has made me an amateur design snob. I have opinions on logos, fonts, product design, color palettes, and sundry other things I probably have no legitimate reason to have an opinion on. So, at the risk of sounding like a total jerk, I’m going to offer up my opinion on the following product:
This, my friends, is not high design. This looks cool, I’ll grant you...

Dawn uses cute animals to win awards.
Ok, not really why they won an award. Their recent “wash away” ad campaign featured oil-covered birds and other sea creatures being cleaned to promote a $1 donation per bottle the brand would be making to help cleanup oil spills (watch it here). This was before the current crisis in the Gulf of Mexico, ironically.
They won an award because it was quite a well done ad. It showed how...

HamX vs. X-Ham
HamX: A great new product to help remove all that pesky ham.
X-Ham: The new extreeeeeeme version of ham. Think gogurt, but liquefied ham. Try our Hamacon (Ham striped with bacon) too!
So, I almost cut off my finger...
On Monday night, I was possessed by a strong urge to trim an overgrown hedge in my backyard. This ended in mass quantities of gushing blood, a trip to the hospital, and no less than 15 stitches. I lost my balance and managed to nearly sever the top part of my right ring finger off. TALENT!
Just wanted to say thanks to all my friends, family, and co-workers for their well wishes and awesome ideas...
