I'm Quitting Soda: Part IX
I’m guessing this will be the ninth time I’ve tried to quit drinking soda. People are well aware that drinking alcohol and smoking are addictions (unless they have a severe problem), but people often forget about food addictions. In my case, I’m addicted to soda. Specifically, I LOVE MOUNTAIN DEW! I’m serious about finally quitting my consumption of soda. So serious that...

Charles Krauthammer - Massacre, followed by libel
The verdict: Rarely in American political discourse has there been a charge so reckless, so scurrilous and so unsupported by evidence. As killers go, Jared Loughner is not reticent. Yet among all his writings, postings, videos and other ravings - and in all the testimony from all the people who knew him - there is not a single reference to any of these supposed accessories to murder. ...

Facebook Continuing Education Shocker
Was looking through the Harrisburg Area Community College contuining education book today and came across a Facebook Basics class geared toward grandparents wanting to learn how to Facebook. I’ve attached proof to this post in case you don’t believe there could be something so ridiculous. The class is 3 hours long!

What is Tea? Quick Overview by Adagio Teas
What is Tea? Tea is the second-most consumed drink in the world, surpassed only by water. An often-surprising fact to tea novices is that all teas (Black, Green, Oolong, White) come from the same plant. The scientific name of this versatile plant is Camellia Sinensis. Camellia Sinensis is a sub-tropical evergreen plant native to Asia but now grown around the world. ...

Bundle Up, It’s Global Warming (via NY Times...
THE earth continues to get warmer, yet it’s feeling a lot colder outside. Over the past few weeks, subzero temperatures in Poland claimed 66 lives; snow arrived in Seattle well before the winter solstice, and fell heavily enough in Minneapolis to make the roof of the Metrodome collapse; and last week blizzards closed Europe’s busiest airports in London and Frankfurt for days, stranding...

Hulu Plus is a Minus
I decided to sign up for Hulu Plus because streaming of its content is available through the PS3 now. I knew a few of the shows I watch are on Hulu and thought it could save me money because I normally buy episodes through iTunes for 99 cents or $1.99. After purchasing a month for $9.99, I quickly found out the selection of movies/TV shows was surprisingly bad. The movie selection reminded me...

Lancaster Liederkranz Pic
Attached is a pic I took at Lancaster Liederkranz on 5 November 2010. I drank some Weihenstephan Hefeweissbier and I must be a lightweight because it knocked me out a few hours after drinking. Luckily, I had driven home safely first. The atmosphere, friends, and food were all very nice.

Soda is Killing Me. I Need Your Help
I admit it. I’m addicted to soda. Experts say that admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery, right? I need your help. Have you had addictions to soda? Did you overcome the addiction? If so, how did you do it. I attempted to quit 24 days ago and I’ve had a soda 17 out of 24 of those days. Please post your comments below.

Posterous App Test
I don’t use iOS much now that my only device is my old iPhone 3GS that’s being used as an iPod Touch, but thought I’d try the new Posterous app to post to my blog. I really like the app so far! Only thing I’d change right now is ability to add comments to posts from within app. It doesn’t appear that I can so that. I know it’s possible on the Wordpress app.
Please Add Caption
