What Supplements Should I Be Taking?

If you?re a workout junkie like myself, you?re likely taking some kind of supplement or at least you?re thinking about it. There?s a whole galaxy of supplements out there with a wide variation in quality and pricing. Some of it works great and some of it is a waste of money. In this post, I?ll

Top Five Movies of Tina Fey

This may be a clich?, but when I think of Tina Fey, I think of the smart girl that?s portrayed in teen movies as the ugly girl because she wears glasses. I think Tina has cultivated that image in ?30 Rock? through her character Liz Lemon and her self-deprecating humor. So it shouldn?t be a

Awesome Men Throughout History: Winston Smith

Most of what we know about the art of collage comes from what we did in elementary school, or what we see in college girls’ dorm rooms. Collages do get more sophisticated than that, though; surrealists were making them back in the 1920s, and guys like Baltimore poet/artist Chris Toll (who passed away in 2012)

Top Five Destinations of Billings

How many events do you know that you know the name, but don?t know anything else about it? If I start broad with something like The Civil War or World War II, I?m sure you and I can both point to Gettysburg, Antietam, Sherman?s March to Atlanta or Pearl Harbor, D-Day, the liberation of concentration

The Self-Made Man: Asa Candler

I’ve been drinking Coke (and more recently, Coke Zero) for years now, but I never knew who invented it or how it became the global phenomenon (minus Cuba and North Korea) it is today. Luckily, this Self Made Man column justifies my curiosity about things like this, and it turns out that Coke was invented

Awesome Men Throughout History: Blaster Al Ackerman

I was going to wait a little while longer before featuring another Baltimore artist as an Awesome Man Throughout History, but time has forced my hand a bit. Blaster Al Ackerman, an artist, writer, and pillar of the Baltimore weirdo community, passed away recently, and since I’m a fan of his work, it feels right

Top Five Movies of Annette Bening

Have you ever hated a movie universally beloved? I?m not talking about one that is hyped to a huge extent and then lets you down because of your expectations (like many of the people I know that saw ?The Blair Witch Project?) but going to see a movie, small or big, and hating it and

Top Five Destinations of Kalispell, MT

With regards to the weekend, I rarely like to plan farther ahead than Thursday, maybe Friday. Sure, if there is a concert, comedy show or convention, then yes, I?ll need to plan further ahead for the good ones. However, most weekends are best when you play them by ear. It?s sunny? Maybe I?ll head to

The Self-Made Man: Clarence Otis, Jr.

Top Five Movies (and Performances) of Mila Kunis

Even though we?ll always view celebrities from afar, we still get glimpses of the person behind the curtain. (Get what I did there? You see, Mila Kunis stars in ?Oz the Great and Powerful,? based on the world created by L. Frank Baum, originally portrayed in ?The Wizard of Oz? where Oz was the man

Awesome Men Throughout History: Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

I’m going to hazard a guess that we all had to read The Little Prince for school at some point, although most of us don’t remember anything from it except asteroids and baobabs. It’s a pity, because it really is a good book. More to the point, the book’s author?Antoine de Saint-Exup?ry?was a total BAMF
