Recipe: Boca ‘Chicka Boom’ Wrap

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Reading Time: < 1 minuteThe last meat I gave up was chicken. Not because I liked it the most – bacon held that dietary distinction – it’s probably because chicken is so easy to prepare in all sorts of tasty ways. The good people at Boca (I swear I don’t work for them, but bless them and their delectable […]

Forty Inches of Fresh and the Best Gear but…

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Reading Time: 2 minutesThere are few things I enjoy more than snowboarding and for the last 2 weekends I’ve had back-to-back weekends at my friend’s place in Sugarbush (Warren, VT). Last weekend it was just the boys, 10 of us in all, with part of the weekend dedicated to hearing our friend’s play some aprés at the Phoenix, […]

Recipe: Holy Boca Guacamole

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Reading Time: 2 minutesIt’s been over 16 years since I’ve eaten red meat or pork and about 14 since I’ve eaten chicken. Oddly enough though I do eat turkey and if I seafood I eat it. Ever since I was a kid I never had a taste for red meat. My mother asked that I eat just one […]

Don’t Sweat the Petty, Pet the Sweaty

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Reading Time: 2 minutesI’m a sweater. Not a mohair, but a dyed in the wool, honest to goodness sweater – like former NYC Mayor David Dinkins. I can sweat bullets in zero degree temps. When I snowboard, I instantly fog-up my goggles rendering them useless. Nothing sucks more than plunking down 70 bucks to go snowboarding, only to […]

Down Periscope!

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Reading Time: < 1 minuteStop me if you’ve heard this one before. Two Colombians, a Guatemalan and a Sri Lankan are in a homemade submarine traveling 6 feet under the ocean’s surface, breathing through plastic tubes and smuggling nearly 3 tons of cocaine… OK, it’s not a joke, it actually happened. And it’s not the first time a home […]

Beating a ‘Cold’ January

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Reading Time: 2 minutesYou probably noticed I haven’t posted in a few days. Despite my efforts to avoid germs, I’ve had the worst cold known to mankind. Actually I’ve had the cold for probably a month, but it started making it crescendo this week. More recently, this cold has taken a toll on my brain, I can barely […]

Bitness Labs: Experiment 18382b.2 Genetic Supplements

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Reading Time: 2 minutesThe first genetically specific nutritional supplements are here! When Blade Runner gave us a peek into 2019, we saw genetically manufactured beings called replicants put into service to take-on the other world’s dirty work. Maybe we’re not on track for the world’s first Nexus-6 in 2019, but tailored supplements for specific ethnic groups might just […]

The Apocalypse is Coming

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Reading Time: < 1 minutePeople who know me well… maybe even not so well… know I’m somewhat of a full-blown germaphobe. It’s not mud or dirt that bothers me. I’ve always been ‘one’ with the animals. Forever the gentleman, I’ve never felt that girls had the cooties. It’s people. Dirty, sneeze-and-shake, piss-and-run, ass-scratching, no-hands-washing people. Oh, it’s all the […]

Drop $10 to Hang Ten

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Reading Time: < 1 minuteNew England, there’s something not right about running alone in 20° weather in the pitch black to get a workout. On the West coast they can ride 10 foot barrels WHILE drinking cocktails served by bikini-clad women at WaveHouse. Located in San Diego, WaveHouse features – among other attractions (including bikini-clad women) – the FlowRider® […]

Killer Gear Deals (usually)…

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Reading Time: 2 minutesI’m always looking for a good deal on gear. I’m not saying I buy a lot of gear (cough) but I do like to know what the going rate is for – oh I don’t know, a Metolius FatCam. Mountain Gear has them for $40, not bad but here’s the thing – I don’t even […]

Alternative Workout: The Nintendo Wii

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Reading Time: < 1 minuteSince its launch several months ago, the Nintendo Wii has received some negative press for folks who hurt themselves, others or inanimate objects. The site Wiihaveaproblem.com tracks the carnage, which includes kids getting accidentally smacked by family members, a dislocated knee, twisted ankles, cuts and contusions. It’s not all bad news for Wii owners. Twenty […]

Who Left the Web Site On?

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Reading Time: 2 minutesThe Scott eVest is proof that you can put a patent on damn near anything. Dubbed a “Gear Management Solution,” the SeV promises to get your PAN together by using their TEC. Oh, you’re not hip to Personal Area Networks? What’s that? You never rocked Technology Enabled Clothing? Step up to 2001 son, it’s all […]
