One of my favorite things to warn people about is aspartame, the sugar substitute found in many products, most notably diet soda. See our aspartame archive.
Below is Sweet Misery, a documentary I found about aspartame. Click the link to watch the documentary on Google Video.

Longtime readers know my basic view of social media is that it is like one big American Idol contest: basically, the idea is to create a niche community, and filter talent in that niche community. This is one of the best ways to monetize social media, in my opinion.
Well, I guess we'll find...

In the geekosphere the big talk of late has been Google Buzz, the new social media service from Google. Here's a quick recap:
1. Works from within side Gmail. THIS IS HUGE. I'll get to the hugeness of this shortly.
2. Lets you give public status updates (like Twitter). Automatically gives...

I was recently thinking of who were the the best storytelling songwriters I've come across, in my opinion. I was thinking about it because I think it is the best way for a musician to build a brand, which in turn can be monetized through merchandising and game play, which I think will...

I'll start with the obvious.
1. Yemen is the new place the US military industrial complex/New World Order is trying to sell the US people on a war with.
Next is what has facts, but how those facts are interpreted is a bit more subjective, and dependent upon perspective.
2. The Gulf...

Gold took two mighty tumbles in a row. I'm entirely out of my gold positions now, save for some coin I have. Overall, I got the move from around 860 to 1100. I made some mistakes, but overall I'm pleased with how I traded it, and I feel as though I timed it well (October 2008 until now...but I...

Probably a few times a year I go to weird spiritual advisors -- basically psychics of one type or another. I recently went to Heather Vaughn, and I been meaning to go to Gabrielle Orr, although I keep postponing that, for better or worse. But those are the kinds of people I visit from time to...

As I previously mentioned I'm working on a rock opera. This will be my little side project for 2010. I still can't fully explain why I do this crap. I suppose part of it is the burning desire that lots of writers/publishers have. Certainly a part of it is to help create a culture of truth and...

I've given props to Jesse a number of times before. I am a fan.
His latest blog post I gotta give mad props to. Here is my favorite part:The measure of monetary inflation is by definition money supply in relation to something else. If nothing else, to population growth or decline, one might...

Confession: I pop pills on a daily basis.
Here's what I take:
1. Nature's Earth multi-vitamin. I'll sometimes switch the brand up, but I like Nature's Earth. Accidentally bought the chewable ones this time. That kinda sucks. I break them up and swallow them instead.
2. Fish oil...

Jupiter entered Pisces on January 17th of this year. Below is a sign-by-sign horoscope of sorts regarding what that may mean.

Before we get to that, though, I should include my standard astrology/horoscope disclaimer:

Here's a great article. Below is an excerpt (emphasis mine). Nothing distinguishes an artificial earthquake from a natural one; this being said, they have the know how to induce only superficial earthquakes, like the one in Haiti.
What is particularly disturbing is the reaction of the...

Competing currencies solves the economic crisis. Ron Paul has recently proposed legislation to facilitate the proliferation of competing currencies -- see the video below. As regular readers know, I think competing currencies will come into play via the virtual currencies in online games. So I...

YouTube - Amreeka Trailer
I recently watched the movie Amreeka (trailer above), which is the story of a Palestinian woman and her son emigrating to the US, and the challenges they encounter in doing so. Here are my thoughts on both the merits of the film as well as new media business...

There are three distinct groups of people in America.
1. The Criminal Class. This is the group of people that basically run everything. It consists of central banks, big finance companies like Goldman Sachs that sell government debt and run hedge funds, and major multinational corporations...
