BioTrust is a nutrition supplement company that sells high-quality products for muscle building, fat loss, and overall health.  A few years ago, I went all out with BioTrust.  I got on their mailing list.  I ordered their entire product line.  I read their e-book 53 Fat Burning Smoothies & Milkshakes.  I read their physical book Belly […]

  Peter Drucker once said, “What gets measured gets managed.” Instead of setting the goal of “lose weight,” set goals to “track weight.”  Instead of “save money,” set goals to “track money.”  Instead of “write more,” set goals to “track how much I write.”  The idea is that if you see the numbers, you will […]

Many Internet-users today have user-generated content spread across several different social networking and review sites.  It would be helpful to find all of a user’s public content displayed on one page in one timeline. A similar concept called “nameplate sites” already exists.  However, nameplate sites are only pages with links to a user’s various internet profiles and […]

Building a team of trusted advisors isn’t something only the President does. Everybody has areas of knowledge they don’t know much about. Even for topics that you’re knowledgeable in, you don’t know everything. That’s why it’s important to get advice from others.   Warren Buffett might be the most celebrated stock picker in history.

Until recently, the surest way to erase history and destroy knowledge was to burn all the books. Thousands of years of human knowledge have been lost by fire and violence. The Library of Alexandria. Gone. Hundreds of thousands of books at the University of Louvain. Burned to ashes. Ancient Confucian teachings. Wiped out of history. […]

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple calculation used to determine if you are underweight, normal, or overweight.  It takes into account your height and your weight.  You can calculate your BMI at this NIH website. Disclaimer: In this article, I discuss my own opinions and observations on health topics.  I am not a doctor. […]

The average Briton has 26 accounts online that require passwords, and uses 5 unique passwords to get through each day.  While that study was done on Internet-users in the UK, I think it holds true for much of the online community.  Each person simply has too many online accounts and too many passwords to remember.  And […]

If you had to eat the same meals each day for the rest of your life, what would you eat? Many have tackled this question, but there is still no definitive answer.  Each proposed diet either has deficiencies when followed long-term, is not suitable for everybody, or is so unappealing that it cannot be sustained.
