Fly Them

Lifestyle and health are two subjects that seem to have the entire first world wrapped around them. Vigorously, we try to maintain a healthy lifestyle and will read just about anything that aids us in our search. Today's blog feature is on such a blog, named Fly Them.

Here is a sample from the blog's post on 5 easy rules for a healthy diet:

"1. You have to eat breakfast because your body needs the energy to make it through the day. Maybe not bacon and eggs, yes?

2. Split your meals so you eat more often but smaller portions. I don't know who thought of this three meals a day rule, you can do 5 smaller ones, no problem.

3. As I said before, what they sell us today in our supermarkets is mostly made of fat and sugar. Cut it. Indulge in moderation. You don't need to drink a bottle of coke each day, but you can drink it on special occasions and it will taste even better.

4. Vegetables and fruits are your best friend. Meat is also good as long as it has a low fat-percentage, like chicken and turkey.

5. Cooking is fun. If you don't like it, you need to find a way to make it fun. It's the only way to get away from fastfood and pizza delivery."

People Are Idiots

Stupid people are... well, stupid. That's pretty much the message preached at "People are Idiots," a blog for fun little stories about all of the crazy people out there in the world do their crazy stuff. Now, everyone can have a laugh at someone else's expense, in blog form!

Here's a little piece of the People are Idiots blog:

"So eventually, after over an hour of waiting, it was my turn. Normally this is where I would end this blog post, but today was a very very special day. I went in and saw the Doc. I informed him I had the blood test done last Saturday and was here to get the results. He looked through my chart and asked Are you sure you had it done? As a little piece of me died inside, I confirmed that yes, I did it. The results weren't there so he'd have someone contact the lab. 35 minutes later he returned with the results. Which were almost perfect. And almost two hours after I got there I was finally able to go. What a great day indeed."

What can you say? People are Idiots!

Geekologie: Revisited

I'm beginning to think that this blog might need to be renamed to something along the times of "Techblogographer," considering the frequency with which I feature technology and tech-related blogs! However, I think we can all appreciate a good tech blog, because after all, aren't we all on computers or phones and whatnot right now? :P

So, today I will be revisiting the hilarious blog Geekologie, which isn't exactly a tech blog, but it is a geek blog which features tons of gizmos and gadgets. There's also the occasional gorgeous fashion model for the purpose of... well, why not?! This blog was featured on Blogographer quite a long time ago, and it's time it's brought up again.

Here's a current sample from the blog's post about Harry Potter as an anime:

"Is this what Harry Potter would look like as anime? Yes. Even if it isn't let's just say it is because I've only written three lines about it and I'm already tired of arguing about it. So yeah, moving on. Ninja turtles: who's your favorite one? I like the one with the tits in the yellow jumpsuit. What's her name? "Donatello." Yes, her."

Great Surf Movies

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes,  "Awww!”

-Jack Kerouac

A pretty crazy quote by a pretty crazy (in a good way) dude. This is the introduction on receives on the blog that is featured for today's Blogographer post. The blog is called Great Surf Movies, and it's a pretty self-explanatory blog -- it's about great surf movies!

Surf movies have begun to make more and more of the cinema, and have even apparently spawned their own genre to which there are awards and followers. I always knew surf movies were becoming more popular, but that they have their own genre? Nice going, surf movies. ;D

The blog is in decent shape, layout-wise. The banner isn't exactly perfect, but it's custom and it's good that he's got some sort of branding happening. Otherwise, it's not too cluttered, the background fits nicely, and the right-side widget with the surf movies tall poster is a nice touch.

Interested in finding the suggestion of someone who does a lot of writing on great surf movies? Then ride the wave over to Great Surf Movies, of course!

Jalopnik

Technology isn't the only recurring theme on my blog, it would appear -- it seems that automobiles are making their way steadily to becoming a staple here on Blogographer. Today's post just further hammers the point, as the feature is on an incredibly popular automobile (and related) blog, well-known on the internet and in the automobile world.

That blog is Jalopnik, one of the infamous Gawker Media blogs. I recently blogged about another Gawker Media blog, known as Gizmodo. Sister blogs aside, Jalopnik has established itself as a powerful blog regardless of it's affiliations, covering up-to-date automobile news while still staying interesting. Here's an example of a post one might find there:

"Remember the playground bully? The kid twice your size who repeated first grade just so he could be larger and stronger? In the automotive world, that bully's name is Bugatti, and I just saw him back down from a fight with something even more menacing. 


I've had enough of Veyron this and the world's fastest car that. I'm over it. And so is John Hennessey. John has been shaking up the automotive playground since he first showed up years ago with his Hennessey Venom 1000 Twin Turbo, a 1,200-horsepower, V10 monster. Think 0-200 MPH in 20.2 seconds."

Anyone with a bit of car knowledge can tell that this Hennessey Venom is no car to be toyed with if it can scare the Bugatti Veyron even before it races. What's better? The writer of the article on the site was actually a passenger in the Venom when it terrified its legendary opponent. Talk about first-hand experience.
