Train Your Brain!

As I reach my mid thirties, I seem to pay more and more attention to what I can do to slow my aging process. Having two grandparents who have passed, both with Alzheimer's Disease...I can't help but fear a similar outcome. So in an attempt to change my future outcome, I have found a website that's like exercise  for the brain, called Lumosity. 
Their mission: "is to create innovative neuroscience-based tools that empower people to lead better lives through better brain health and performance"

After playing a few of the different "brain games", I must admit...I feel a bit more alert and ready to take on the world...give it a try and tell me what you think.

Till next time....

Life Hacker

Do It Yourselfer's unite! If I can learn to do something on my own without paying for it, then you better believe I am more than will to give it a shot first...which is why I LOVE LifeHacker! It's a a place where you can find "Tips and downloads for getting things done" (i.e. how to Turn a Grill Tray into a Jewelery Organizer, or How to Pick an Android Smartphone, or maybe you wanna learn how to Use Levels to Fix Poorly Exposed Photos). Whatever it is, I'm sure you can find out how to get it done at this site. Or if  you'd like to share your own secrets or tips on how to do something you don't already see on this site, you can do that as well. Be a contributor. Be a "Life Hacker." I am...

Vice Magazine

Once upon a time, I lived in Hollywood...one of the things I grew to love while living there was a magazine called VICE. I would be walking down a street, past some store and notice a magazine rack with some kind of crazy picture or cool art on the cover which would catch my eye...then "FREE" would catch my eye. "Seriously? This magazine is free.99?" So, of course I would grab a copy and read through it...finding everything from pictures of people passed out drunk in random places, to pictures of medical issues gone wrong, to stupid funny comics like the one below...
 Every month, I would keep a look out around the city for issues of VICE (many places that carried it, would be rid of it too fast to have a place I could rely on finding it...so it became a sort of treasure hunt some months). Ever since moving away from LA, I am no longer graced with free copies at my disposal, BUT...lucky for me, they have a website where I can read up on all the crazy shit they continue to publish...I feel it my duty to share their site with you....so go ahead "Site Junkee"...get lost in the craziness of VICE!

Let me know what you think...

A reminder to the more fortunate

I came across this work of writing while browsing the world wide web and thought I'd post it...just because...it made me feel "something", so maybe it will do the same for you...does it?
