I get this question all the time. Basically, I eat what I like to call the “Minimalist Meal Plan”. I despise the word diet, but I had to get your attention. Just look at the Google Trends graph for the word diet in blue vs. meal plan in red. Meal Plan is a continuous flat line. We are a “diet crazed” society.
So, the minimalist meal plan consists of these food items:
Raw fruit Raw veggies Beans Filtered tap water Whole grain breads and cereals – I love warm homemade bread …
Minimalist means: Use of the barest essentials – For me that means no prepackaged convenience foods.
About a year ago, I went to buy some blades for my Mach 3 and saw the price tag and absolutely refused on principal as a sane and capable person to pay the kings ransom for the blades. There has to be a better way, I thought.
So that thinking led me down a strange journey into the world of “wet shaving.” It’s “wet”, because unlike that magic goo in a bottle that doesn’t really lubricate, “wet” shaving is based around using a brush, shaving soap and water. The advantages of wet shaving are many, for one you do get a CLOSER shave and it is much cheaper in the long run. For example, I recently ran out of a tub of $10 shaving cream (The Body Shop makes a great men’s shaving cream!) that lasted me nearly four months. It didn’t use an aerosol or require any strange space-age application device and the plastic tub is recyclable!
In introducing the minimalist white iDesk, Giles Turnbull cries “Here’s one for the ZOMG THERE MUST BE NO CABLES VISIBLE types among you. Yes, you know who you are.”
He’s talking about us, certainly. However, for this chunk of white acrylic with an integrated docking tray , one must pay $3,000. How does “No,” sound, iDesk?
“The product attempts to be silent both visually and functionally by having the cap in the downward position. By lifting up the cap the user proportionally increases the volume. The further the cap goes up the louder the sound gets. To tune the radio you simply rotate the cap and receive feedback of tuning quality via the LED on the front.”
“Day to day, the things we do as security professionals can be pretty complex. From a control perspective, it is fairly common to take a product category-like view and work from there. But nowadays, the security functions being performed have all been defined and anything “new” really is a flavor of something we’ve already done (this is why those of us who’ve been in the industry for awhile lament that everything’s been done before).
It may be useful to have a set of “atomic security functions” that act as building blocks so that all other solutions can be shown to be combinatorial or derivative of these functions. All of these functions are inline - between source consumer and target provider.”
“It takes no equipment to get a great workout and get in shape, and with one or two pieces of simple equipment, you can turn that great workout into a fantastic one, you magnificent beast, you.
And with little or no equipment required for a fantastic workout, you can do it at home, or wherever you are. Even if you’re in solitary confinement.”
