| Want to find out about new songs? |
| 2008-08-03 14:00:00 |
Looking to find out new music that you might like? This service might help. It's called Musicovery and is based simply on the idea that all songs have different moods and tempos. You just choose where along the x and y axes you want Musicovery to pull a song for you and you get that song, as well as a string of other related songs. You can also narrow your search query via genres and decades. It's really cool.

This is an amazing article from Free Geekery about 22 things that you can get for free. Who knew you could get classes at MIT or language lessons for free. :)Conventional wisdom holds that you only get what you pay for, but the real free geek knows that with the right knowledge (and maybe a charming smile) pretty much anything, even the good stuff, can be had for less or in the best case scenarios nothing at all. Despite this, there are a number of things out there that don’t seem to scream “free” majority of the time (MIT being one). Here’s a list of a few free things that might surprise you. Classes at MIT If you’ve ever wanted to know what it feels like to get a first class nerd education but never had the money or the grades, MIT offers a majority of its curriculum (graduat...

| How to Tie a Tie |
| 2008-08-01 17:22:00 |
It's amazing to me how many guys don't know how to tie a tie and yet to wear one is so simple and professional/stylish that it's worth taking the time to learn. For the longest time, I only knew one way, apparently called the Half Windsor. This was always a little bit crooked for me, until I discovered both the Double Windsor and Pratt Knot. Now depending on what the length and thickness is, I'm more than well equipped for whatever tie debacle life may throw my way.I suppose it's additionally important to acknowledge the existence of the Four in Hand.For even more information, check out Gentleman Joe's site.

| A wall that lives and breathes green |
| 2008-07-29 17:21:00 |
I really want to see this or at least more buildings employing similar technology.What this is a Biowall. It features plants held on a wall via thick matting, watered by a continual flow from the top, and with fans behind the plants.The plants act like a huge filter from pollutants which typically float about in the workspace, while the fan moves the filtered air about the various floors.Cool technology and it looks great too!

| The Science of Flirting |
| 2008-07-26 17:20:00 |
There's something so intrinsic about flirting that even in a relationship it is hard not resist. Simply looking at some of my friends, for instance, one might wonder why he continues to flirt when with (or at the very least, dating) someone. Turns out, the intrinsicness comes from our genes and the ways in which our bodies function...Why We Flirt: The Science of SexBy: Brie CadmanIt’s so natural, we barely even notice we do it. Tilting a head to expose the neck, smiling or laughing at something that really wasn’t funny, moving closer to the person making unfunny jokes, mimicking their actions. Our body language is perhaps the most subtle expression of what we’re really thinking and feeling, and is a crucial component of the courting dance known as flirting.Though cheesy pick-up lin...

Using the "5 basket system," See our office resource section for product recommendations, each paper will fall into one of the following categories: To Do To Read To File Today Trash · The following compiled list of category questions will give you a better idea of what to ask yourself when handling papers on a daily basis. This system REALLY WORKS. You just need to be totally honest with yourself -- that's all. · Place each appropriate paper in the corresponding basket based on what you need to do with it (do an action on it later? something for today? read it? file it? toss it?) · Remember, "maybe," "miscellaneous" and "stuff" are not categories of choice.
