Good Christmas
Like most kids I used to delight in waking up at the crack of dawn to unwrap the mountain of presents under the tree. With shreds of paper covering the living room I’d run upstairs to call my friends and compare our hauls. One Christmas, maybe when I was in high school or so, my…

*NEW* BTYB Forums!
I mentioned the idea a few times in the past, and people seemed to like the idea of having forums here. I do too, so here they are. The forums should make things a lot more interactive around these parts. You can ask for advice, post your own stories and tips, or just chat with…

Evan, the Vegan Wonder
Right now I’m sitting on my couch enjoying the aroma of onions and garlic cooking in olive oil. On another burner is a giant pot full of vegetables. Next to it is a skillet with roasting eggplants. To the side of the stove is a cutting board with even more chopped vegetables. What’s going on?…

Oops
Yeah, so I forgot to mention that I’m on a cruise so there won’t be any posts for a week. The upside is that I have a criminal amount of free time, so I’m going to whip out a few posts for posting later. Highlights so far : We arrived at our cabin and the…

Tynan’s Ultimate Privacy Guide
My keen interest in online security and privacy has recently blossomed into a full on obsession. Some may say it’s because I’m eccentric and weird, but it’s at least partly because of the crazy new laws going down in this country. There is an excellent chance that all of your e-mails and IM conversations are…

Thanksgiving
I’m awful at expressing it (an opinion frequently voiced by the ladies who have spent any amount of time in my life), but I’m a very grateful person. I feel like most of my happiness and success comes from my friends, family, acquaintances, and even the random strangers who I meet on the street or…
