Sandra Bullock's latest flick, a heartwarming, tear-jerker.
We went and saw the movie The Blind Side last night and man… I was failing miserably at holding back tears the entire show. I found it extremely moving, touching, and it really hit home. Many people might tell you it is about an uneducated, black, homeless kid who was taken in by a white family, taught football, tutored, and eventually went pro in the NFL, but that is not accurate. The movie is really about a woman that reaches out, does the right thing, and makes a huge difference in a young man’s life. A truly inspiring story and for me, personally moving.
As we were driving home I realized why I was so moved by this film… (keep reading –>) (more…)
Is it really worth it?
It is nearing Thanksgiving, a time when many of us start traveling to eat bird with family. Let’s face it, many of us feel the need to let the universe know what we are doing via status updates on various networks such as Facebook and Twitter whenever we actually do anything remotely interesting or different than sitting at our computer. This is also a great way to let would-be criminals know that you will be out of town for a few days so they can break into your house without any complications. “No, no not my online ‘friends,’ they are perfect and I know them all deeply, and I would never use Twitter!” Read on… (more…)
Tactics... The "Child face" evokes in men the desire to protect and makes your eyes appear larger by minimizing the face. Red lips and blush mimic arousal.
Sexiness, attractiveness, flirtatiousness, etc. Some girls have got it and some girls don’t, but perhaps the real issue is that some have learned these tricks and some have not. Be forewarned this is powerful stuff: This is a black magic art that creates sexual energy and should only be used by mature adults.
I am a fan of body language and I love to figure out people and I just happen to be married to an extremely sexy woman. A great book on the subject is The Definitive Book of Body Language
The PrincipleThe general principle to being sexy and arousing and attracting men is to appear aroused and attracted. Women being “sexy” to men is appearing sexual. Seems pretty simple right?
Here are the female tricks of the trade, many of which are picked up unconsciously from watching females or are possibly embedded in genetic code: (more…)
Wave goodbye to email?
You may have heard your nerdier friends (such as myself) talk about it, beg for invites to it, ask if anyone else has it yet… some cool new thing called Google Wave. Sometimes it is written with slashes as \/\/ave (cool eh?).
Basically it is being touted as a modern replacement for the nearly ancient technology of email. Great, but what does that mean? Before Wave can be explained you have to understand why wave is being created and why we need a replacement for email.
Email has some inherent problems… (more…)
My silicone Dvorak keyboard cover protects my computer and my wrists!
Allow me to reveal my true nerdy-awesome nature… part of being great, at least for me, is being nerdy.
What is Qwerty? So look down at your keyboard… find Q and the keys following it. QWERTY is the name of that layout of keys. Originally keys were alphabetical, but they were rearranged into a layout that was designed to be difficult and slow down the typists and now you use it everyday and if you type a lot it is hurting your wrists.
I was annoyed by the issues with typing and the “carpal tunnel” or rather, the stupid pain from lame typing. So I did some research and found that Dvorak is an alternative layout that you can type in that has been found to reduce movement 50%! (more…)
