Sweatin' Up a Think
"Those who think they have not time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness"
-Edward Stanley, the Early of Derby, 1873
"Eating alone will not keep a man well; he must also take exercise. For food and exercise, while possessing opposite qualities, yet work to produce health."
-Hippocrates, fifth century
You guessed it, folks. Exercise. I don't really care how it gets done: chasin' the kids around the oak tree, takin' the bad beagles for a walk, or rather, a pull, shakin' your "humps and lumps...

Labor Day Savings: Guerilla Job Home Study Course Special for the Job Seeker
Got a note today from Kevin Donlin, the job search guru and creator of TheSimpleJobSearch.com
Here is what Donlin has to say:
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics just announced the jobless rate for August. As expected, unemployment rose again, to 9.6%. And more than 500,000 people started looking for jobs in August, according to the same report.
So, there are now even fewer jobs AND even more people chasing after them. What this means for you: If you are looking for a job, jobs just got a lot harder to find.
But because you're on my "hotlist" of subscribers, you can laugh at...

Put away your sports books. Let's talk music.
The Minnesota Twins played well.
Who cares? This conversation starter stinks like early morning coffee urine. And yet we all do it. The Tier 4 conversation cannot be avoided, even for those familiar with the concept of Conversation Tiers. Prepare to classify.
“Conversation Tiers” are defined as:
Tier 1: Abstract ideas, philosophy. The highest form of conversation. Example of a Tier 1 conversation starter: “The repetition of notes and rhythm patterns in music is more appealing to a large audience than a random series of notes and rhythm patterns. The larger the audience is,...

Review: Metroid Other M
Metroid. A series that has helped define Nintendo. Ninja Theory had a lot to live up to while making this game, and they did not disappoint.
Other M takes place immediately after the events of Super Metroid from way back on the SNES in 1994, which, as it turns out, was a brilliant move. The play style feels a lot like Super Metroid did and the enemies are all very stylishly similar. Even the environments, save for the snow area, feel like you've been put back into the classic Super Metroid world. And imagine my surprise when one of Samus' old nemeses...
