16: Did You Get The Word
When I wasn't looking, some words disappeared - like haberdasher. In 1960 we stopped needing a name for someone who sells men's hats. That's when John F. Kennedy went hatless to his inauguration. That's when men stopped wearing hats. When women went to work in a man's world, they stopped wearing hats. That's when we stopped needing milliner, a name
17: Is Twitter For Twits
I hear it all the time. The people on twitter are twits, twittering tales of hairballs and haircuts. Bloggers have been moaning about the noise on twitter, and predicting the date the site will close down, yet twitter remains a powerful communications force in the online world.
I think it has something to do with that thing they call API...the
18: Are You A Creature Of Habit
Do you wash your face before you brush your teeth, put cream in your coffee before sugar, read the entertainment section of the newspaper before the sports?
When someone holds out a hand, we shake it. When someone sneezes, we say bless you. When someone is behind us, we hold the door for him or her.
Supermarket owners know we're creatures o
19: Build It And They Will Come
If you ask architects what's up, they'll say the project they just finished. Architects turn dreams into realities, bridge past and present and have high hopes for the future. As of now, the highest is Taipei 101 at 1,671 feet.
Los Angeles' architecture runs the gamut from a building that looks like a donut to Frank Gheary's metal extravaganza
20: A Students Guide To Survive Living Alone
Going back a few years when I first moved out of my parents home to live in London, in University halls of residence, I remember feeling more excited than scared. The world of independence, no curfews and late night parties were something that had overwhelmed my senses. I felt extremely elated the first day I had arrived at my flat, knowing that th
21: Another Blond Joke
I'm a blond by choice. Do I have more fun? I'm not sure, but I know I have more salon appointments.
Some days I feel blonder than others. One day I couldn't start my car because the shift wasn't in park. Another day I couldn't find my glasses because they were on top of my head.
Because I'm blond, people love to tell me blond jokes. Have yo
22: Are All Ideas Created Equal
In 1891 William White invented a coffin that's equipped with an emergency, signaling device in case you are buried alive. The coffin also comes with a convenient air hole for immediate resuscitation. This coffin would be the perfect gift for sound sleepers and for people who say they have everything. Literally, it's a gift to die for.
In 1924 a
23: Are Doors Open For Discussion
Front doors say as much about who lives in a house as names on mailboxes do. Natural wood, for example, says casual and unpretentious - unless the owners of the house have been married for so long they've gotten used to the weather-beaten look.
Glass, on the other hand - the one turning the highly polished, brass doorknob - says secure, at peac
24: Are Television Commercials Rude
"But first a few words from our sponsors" and those few words are turning into more and more. There are also more and more commercial interruptions and they never say excuse me when they interrupt.
Most people ignore this rudeness and use commercials as snack breaks and toilet trips, but no one gets a beer or flushes one down the toilet during
25: Can People Be Winterized
Winter is my least favorite season. I'm a transplanted New Englander. I live in Los Angles because I don't do cold well. December through March about all I can handle is a cold shoulder from a cold-hearted purveyor of cold cuts.
My family, however, still lives in New England. I love them in spite of that shortcoming, but it definitely wasn't my
26: Have You Heard Of Remote Viewing And Influencing
If you're like me, you spend hours surfing the internet looking for weird stuff that you've never seen or read about before. During my extensive research one evening, as I scoured cyberspace to find some new and unusual crap to entertain myself with, I finally found what I was looking for.
At about 2:00 A.M. on a Thursday night, I couldn't relax
27: How To Change An Ink Cartridge
The complicated process of changing an ink cartridge is something that has baffled scientists for many years. Despite developments of so-called 'easy change' ink cartridges, removal and replacement still leave even the most dextrous of us dumbfounded.
It also leaves us covered in ink. Not just a smudge of something that adds colour to your bori
28: Is It A Good Look Or A Stare
Confession of a frustrated female: because it's been four weeks since I last saw my stylist, I've been plagued by bad hair days. I couldn't be more hair challenged if I were the Easter Bunny on disability.
My hair is short. As soon as the messy look was in style,I thought I'd found hirsute heaven on earth. I didn't realize the messy look requir
29: Shouldn t There Be A C In Glasses
Men don't make passes at girls who wear glasses - well, they didn't until eyeglasses became a fashion statement. Now people spend hundreds of dollars on designer frames.
Designer frames are a status symbol. They're for others to see you can afford them - but they're not for me. I can't see them when I'm wearing them; and when I'm not wearing th
30: So Whats So Funny
Its a simple question to ask, 'Whats so funny?' but if you sit down and think about it, it's not so easy to answer. In some respects it's an eternal question with no one correct answer. Ask a comedian who is successful about what is it that makes the audience laugh? Why are you so funny? The reply you will probably get, is a litany of stories about
