A whisper, if performed the right way, isn't about hearing something at all.  A whisper is all about feeling.  A whisper is a public intimacy between two people wrapped in secretive sharing and a sensational tickling as puffs of warm words are delivered to the skin surrounding the receiver's ear.

We are known for our monkey love and for our Lucy love; but yesterday the University of Southern California Davis School of Gerontology revealed the reason we are able to outlive our ape relatives:  We have a meat-adaptive gene and they do not.

The RevAbs Review

| 8 Comments
On November 15th, I started a new workout program called RevAbs. It's not that I was unhappy with my morning workout per se, I just wanted to invest a solid three months into a structured workout regime -- moreover, I specifically wanted to target an area of my body that I felt had been really hit hard by poor diet and lack of physical activity for the majority of the time that I lived in Seattle -- my abdominal area. What better workout program to use than something called RevAbs -- right?

The Evidence Audio Cables Review

| 8 Comments
If you get into music full-bore to make up for 20 years of lost time, your effort quickly begins to ascend into the monetary stratosphere as costs pile up to bowl you over in that everlasting and neverending chase for "that sound."  The latest example of my overweening ear interest is demonstrated in my new obsession with Evidence Audio amp, speaker and guitar cables.  This is my story.

For nearly five years I worked from my apartment, wherever that was. I moved from one place to another and yet I still was working in the privacy of my own home with no one to tell me that I couldn't work in my boxers if I wanted to. Somehow, boxer working never lost its appeal to me. It all changed when my main client could no longer afford to pay me and I had to get a job in "the real world" -- a scary place where people wear trousers and can't stroll into their kitchens for lunch.

Google SMS Answers on Your iPhone

| 2 Comments
If you aren't texting the questions in your life to "GOOGLE" (466-453) on your iPhone, or other smart phone, then you aren't really living an untethered life.  GOOGLE SMS is a free service -- though other carrier charges may apply to your SMS phone plan -- that instantly answers your questions and helps you win arguments and wager bar bets.  As you can see in the shot below, I was able to get an instant response from Google when I asked for "Weather Los Angeles."  I was not successful in getting Google to tell me Julie Chen's age or what year Hawaii gained statehood.

Forget soundAMP for the iPhone and the traditional cochlear implant -- embedded MP3 Bone Hearing is here!
