Be an Occupy Protester for Hallowe’en!

Digital Citizen Leave a comment

It’s Hallowe’en! Not ready but need a costume? Here’s a simple one!

Just throw on your worst laundry, don’t wash or shower, and down a bottle of Buckley’s cough syrup if you’re not bitter enough about the world.

Actually, down a bottle anyway cause you’ll need to be that disillusioned about life and the world you live in.

Then complain about anything you can think of anytime you see anybody.

And voilà!

An original, cheap, last minute Hallowe’en costume that will get you into lots of Hallowe’en parties in major cities in North America where protests are being held.

Steve Jobs Could Be the MOST Popular Outfit This Hallowe’en

Quinoa Jell-O, Great for Post Run or Exercise Protein!

Digital Citizen 2 Comments

Getting some protein within 15 minutes of finishing your exercising or running is a fast start to recovering for your next session if you exercise or run regularly (not a week later). It helps you feel better to be able to go harder, or feel easier, on the next session. It’s good nutrition, too. However, downing dry and hot toasts with honey, a cold meat sandwich, pasta and meat sauce, and so on, so soon after my workout and shower isn’t my idea of a pleasant experience, I usually want to drink, drink and drink cold fluids.

Well, applying my life philosophy #3 – AND not OR – I have now found my post exercise source of cold protein and fluids.

My answer is Quinoa Jell-O!

The Decentralized Model of Blogging and Eight Good Blogging Rules

Digital Citizen Leave a comment

When someone starts a blog, one of the first and/or big question they have to answer is What is your blog going to be about?

For a lot of people, that’s a fairly narrow answer, like football, Transformers, the environment, etc. Even “everything about” a topic, like Twilight, isn’t all that broad. A blog on a theme becomes a focal point for something and aim to bring readers to them on that topic, like a a city in a state, where other blogs on the same topic are other cities, and each post is a new building in its city. Readers looking for something else would go elsewhere, like to another state or city.

For me, it was different. I chose to have a blog about pretty much anything and everything.

So why did I do this and how was I going to make it “succeed”?

A Few Groceries Savings Tips

Digital Citizen 2 Comments

There are lots of ways to save at the groceries stores. However, I have two ways that I stick by quite well which seems to surprise a lot of people for whatever reasons when I tell them. I don’t think they’re anything revolutionary, but maybe people just don’t think the way I do on the matter. It may not work well for some people for various reasons, like cash flow or demanding eaters, impromptu parties, or whatever. However, you don’t have to swear by it. Just apply it regularly, to save money. The more you do it, the more you save.
