A new groudbreaking study has come out which shows that there is some kind of cellular memory effect of taking performance-enhancing steriods. This effect was shown to last for a significant time in mice, equivalent to what would be a span of a decade or more in humans. Currently those who are caught taking steriods…

This surveillance leaking has been going on for a long time now. I partly disagree with some of the way its being done. It is being deliberately trickled out to the media and I don’t think that that is necessarily a responsible form of actual whistleblowing. It makes it difficult to get the whole picture…

The Panasonic ES2262A Body Effects™ Wet/Dry Body Trimmer and Shaver is by far the best for shaving the penis and scrotum. The Philips Bodygroom BG2040 is a good shaver for around the genital area but for shaving the actual penis and scrotum the Panasonic above gives the smoothest shave and I personally have never been…

1.  Belarc Advisor, an extremely useful “asset management” application that everyone including the individual user can benefit from. When the Advisor is run it generates the ultimate page listing everything about a computer: its serial number, all software installed, its product license keys, etc. If you ever need to re-install the operating system you will…

I took a chance a couple years ago when ordering this, but I really wanted to find a good way to store brushes while travelling and this roll-up brush holder is really excellent.  It is the best way to store brushes that I’ve seen if one has nice brushes and really wants to care for…

I want to make posts about cool travel items. Through the process of discovery and trial-and-error people can find interesting and useful things for traveling. Here is one simple item that I found is useful for traveling: a combo salt/pepper shaker. It holds just the right amount to be useful. I’ve seen even smaller combo…
