Citroen Nemo Concetto

January 18th, 2008

Behold, the 2007 Citroen Nemo, a concept (“concetto“) car designed to look just like the adorable, lil’ clown fish Nemo from Pixar Animation Studio’s 2003 hit film Finding Nemo

Citroen Nemo

Might be old news to some; I just read about this cute, little car in today’s newspaper and felt like sharing it with all of you.

Here’s the back of the car:

Cute, isn’t it?  Just like this guy:

Lift Like A Man, Look Like A Goddess (See – Told You So!)

January 16th, 2008

A couple of months ago I posted an entry about women and their perfectly understandable but completely unfounded fears about weightlifting. 

(You can check out the earlier post here.) 

Their number one concern: getting “big” the way guys do.

Bottom line for those of you who haven’t read the previous post: not gonna happen.

Well, now there’s a brand new book out called The New Rules Of Lifting For Women: Lift Like A Man, Look Like A Goddess that expands upon the topic in significantly more detail (for those women still unconvinced).  

Lift Like A Man

The book, by Lou Schuler, Cassandra Forsythe, and Alwyn Cosgrove, contains a more in-depth refutation of the commonly held yet wildly inaccurate belief that women shouldn’t lift weights lest they transform overnight into some sort of muscle-bound man-woman.

The book, which seems to be getting a lot of favorable reviews thus far, also delves into proper diet and nutrition and includes detailed descriptions and color pictures of recommended exercises and workout routines. 

Here’s a link to the Amazon page where you can purchase the book.

January 12th, 2008

Finally got around to seeing Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem, the sequel to 2004’s Alien Vs. Predator.

It’s about as bad as the first one, possibly worse.  Either way, I’d avoid the movie altogether.

How NOT To Do A Lat Pull Down

January 11th, 2008

It’s been awhile since I last wrote about workout-related topics so I figured I’d take some time to discuss one of the most popular and beneficial back exercises – the Lat pull down.

(Beneficial if done correctly, that is.)

The Lat pull down primarily targets the Latissimus dorsi shown here:

Super Mario Bros. 3 Speedrun

January 7th, 2008

Here’s a video of somebody completing Super Mario Bros. 3 in a little over 11 minutes.

Pretty crazy, right? 

Like magic, it’s not quite as impressive once you know how the trick is accomplished, but it’s still pretty entertaining to watch.
