For serious practitioners of Ashtanga Yoga, asanas (postures) serve as preparation to stabilize and control the mind, which one, of many, steps along the “the path of internal purification for revealing the Universal Self.”
Hot: I’ve been super stressed at work lately. When that happens, I’m especially prone to feeling the tension in my neck and back. It feels tight, almost clogged- as if the stress of my day-to-day has actually congealed in and around my spine. I’ll feel sluggish, get headaches and even feel sick to my stomach. [...]
Hot: I recently read an article on GOOD.is entitled “The Art of the Status Update.” The article was interesting and seemed relevant, in light of a recent post I’d written about the Top Ten Facebook Offenders. Perhaps I’d been too hard on Facebookers in condemning the “self-indulgence” that users of any social-media outlet are often [...]
Incredibly awkward moments are my specialty. Take this morning for example. While browsing around on MSN.com, settling in to my morning routine, I stumbled across a byline that made me laugh out loud. Here- I’ve taken a screenshot:

It’s really fun to see someone take a silly experiment and launch it to the next level, a silly experiment with wide recognition. Of course, with Stephen Colbert’s huge popularity [...]
Hot: All this talk of Mudkips (and having to troll around Google Labs for something work related) got me to thinking, just how popular is this whole “mudkips” thing, and what about rival Pokémon meme, Seaking? Well, the results are in! The winner for longest running search item? Seaking. Current most popular? Mudkips. Overall though, [...]
Hot: Go on and just tell me what’s wrong with this picture! I don’t know if it’s coincidental or contextual but either way it is downright hilarious! Well, except for the obvious reminder that the Almighty Google is not really all that mighty. Especially when you pit them against the hundreds of thousands of people [...]
Hot: Ripped straight from the delicious distraction pit known as the EctoChat. Giania I wish I had a bunch of acupuncture needles in my shoulder muscles that were, in turn, hooked up to some kind machine that would periodically deliver mild electric shocks 10:12 ch3sh that sounds fun. 10:15 Giania And hopefully pain relieving 10:19 [...]
