There is an old saying that goes:
The worst thing you can possibly do to a woman is bore her.
It makes perfect sense if you think about it. 
Most women’s lives (and men’s for that matter) are a monotonous routine that includes a stifling job, household chores, obligitory appearances at social functions, sleep, etc. 
What people in general, [...]

Today I’m reviewing Zirh’s Body Bar, which I’ve been using for a little over a month now.

Several weeks ago, while enjoying a few carafes of dill infused goodness at my favorite vodka bar, I met a man who was an unabashed evangelist. 
He preached, almost unprovoked, a very peculiar gospel, one completely foreign to me. 
He raved about the soul saving, all forgiving, almost angelic kindness of: Johnny Love Vodka. 

Zirh is a company focused on the research and development of men’s skin care and shaving products. And lest you think skin care is treading deep into “unmanly” territory, athletes like Kobe Bryant, Sammy Sosa, and Tiki Barber all use Zirh products. Not to mention our boys on Entourage.

In the post introducing why geeks should care about fashion, I concluded with:
The next article will cover the first and most important step. If you’ve got great clothes but don’t have this handled, you’ll simply look foolish.

Gawker Media unleashes their latest blog, Idolator, covering the music industry in the dirty ways we love them for.

Introducing Alix, the first Urban Minx. Read her interview by clicking “Continuing Reading below”.

 
Inspiried by Greg Cerveny’s recent expose on a great travel related wiki, I thought I’d offer up something a little more….esoteric.
Encyclopedia Dramatica cataloges everything from whackjob conspiracy theories (i.e. the “Jews” are responsible for 9/11) to absolutely bizarre chronicles of web based battles you’ve never heard of (Meow Wars for instance).
Your best bet to waste an entire [...]

With so many cool things to spend your money on, it is easy to collect too much stuff.  Apartment therapy warns against living out this all too common scenario…
