A few years ago I saw this cool book with Superman on the cover promising insight on Exceptional Performance. What a cool book. I had to learn the secrets. I was so motivated, I placed it on my reading list and then returned to my TIVO to watch more TV. How ironic.
Now that I’m TV-free, [...]
I’m slowly getting caught up on all my book reviews from the past two months. Here are three more reviews. Each of these books were very short.
One Small Step Can Change Your Life: The Kaizen Way by Robert Maurer was a book I stumbled on while looking for something else. It was a nice find. [...]
I just finished reading an outstanding nutrition book on what are considered the best foods you can eat. Back in college I read a lot of nutrition books and built a diet framework with that information. Not surprisingly many of my staples have earned SuperFood status.
SuperFoods Rx: Fourteen Foods That Will Change Your Life by [...]
Just before I left the Peoples Republic of California, I received a notice to renew my license plate tags. Since I was heading to the Evergreen State, I placed that paperwork in the circular file. Upon arriving to the Seattle Metro area, I promptly got my Washington drivers license, plates and updated my auto insurance.

Exciting news! The Social Security Administration tells me that if I keep plugging away and working until I’m 67, then they will reward me with $1665 each and every month. What will I do with all that money? I suppose I shouldn’t think about it too much since I still have 30 more years [...]
Another weekend in Seattle means the espresso quest continues. This morning I went to Zoka Coffee in the Wallingford area. To say this place is popular is an understatement. They had a Clover machine, but I opted for an Americano, which was outstanding.
A few hours later I was driving through Capitol Hill and I [...]
Maybe I’m the last one to finally read Freakonomics, but in my defense it was the updated version.
Freakonomics [Revised and Expanded]: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything by Steven D. Levitt is part fascinating and part tedious. The chapters dealing with crime are boring and make logical leaps that almost make you [...]
Since I started my TV-free experiment, I’ve been reading more books than usual.
Stumbling on Happiness by Daniel Gilbert surprised me. I first saw the author on the Colbert Report and thought his book sounded stupid. Later I talked to an old co-worker that was enjoying the book, so I put it on my list to [...]
Last year when I visited Brazil one thing had me puzzled: How could the people be so lean when a large amount of the food was either fried or loaded with sugar?
The answer I came up with at the time was that they either ate less or just played endless hours of soccer. [...]
Tomorrow I’m flying back to San Diego for a week. My new job wants to meet me. Well kinda.
