Steve Jobs: How To Live Before You Die
"When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something..."

Warning: Carry No More Than 3 Condoms!

Apparently if a woman is stopped by police in a D.C. "Prostitution Free Zone" and is carrying three or more condoms on her, she could be arrested for prostitution!!
Both New York City and San Francisco have followed suit with the 'three condoms and you're out' law, which not only is unfortunate for those gals who aren't sex workers, it also promotes unsafe sex for those who are!

Colour Changing Tiles
Yes, these tiles change color according to the temperature making your shower a veritable mood ring! We can see so many ways that this kind of a decor element can be taken too far--into the realm of tacky and awful. But done right, with the most sparing of hands, we could see some really interesting applications!

Tuesdays With Morrie
Picture: a restaurant/bar in Pai called "Park@Pai"
As an English/Literature student, I'd heard and seen this book on a book shelf forever but somehow never actually picked it up. Until last month, after about 7 years of almost buying the book, I got it. Maybe it's all about timing...if only I picked up this book 5 years ago, I might not have appreciated it as much as now. This is one of the very few books I have started last year and actually finished it. I tend to start reading a book and then lose interest in the middle of it.
Anyway, this is a recommended read for everyone who is sometimes confused between what we need and what we want. Something to read and reread as a start of the new year.

'Sexercise' Yourself Into Shape
According to the NHS Direct website, "sexercise" can lower the risk of heart attacks and helps people live longer. Endorphins released during orgasm stimulate immune system cells, which also helps target illnesses like cancer, as well as wrinkles, it states.
"Forget about jogging round the block or struggling with sit-ups.
"Sex uses every muscle group, gets the heart and lungs working hard, and burns about 300 calories an hour."
The advice suggests "regular romps this winter" could lead to a better body and a younger look.
Increased production of endorphins "will make your hair shine and your skin smooth," it adds.
"If you're worried about wrinkles - orgasms even help prevent frown lines from deepening."
