I fashion myself as a knowledgeable man. This is my way of sharing what I know. Here are some tutorials and guides on how to do things that may not be as intuitive as they should be.

Improve Your Diet: Go Gluten-Free

Last night I read an article that has all but convinced me to go gluten-free with my diet.

I’ve been in the process of reducing the amount of wheat and grain that I eat, going from highly processed white bread to whole wheat. I’ve also been avoiding unnecessary uses of bread: instead of making a lettuce, tomato, mayo, and turkey sandwich with two slices of bread I now use the lettuce to hold my sandwich together. That, along with other choice improvements in my diet – such as not eating as much – has been largely easy to maintain and keep.

With these changes I’ve seen incredible weight loss (thirty pounds) and improvements in my overall health. I feel better, more energized, and overall more healthy.

Who knew diet could be so powerful? Continue reading →

What Apple Introduced on Monday

Apple’s WWDC has come and gone. The day was ruled by the (now) newly announced iPhone 4. There was no mention of other product’s being upgraded. As you read in my last post there were possibilities of the Mac Pro being updated along with the MacBook Air and many of Apple’s other products. However that was not to be – the iPhone ruled the day.

If you surf over to Apple’s iPhone webpage they’ve posted a video that is not only a great advertisement for the iPhone but also gives a very good overview of what is new in iPhone 4. If you don’t want to watch the video here’s a brief run-through of its new features:

FaceTime – Video calling on your iPhone. Thanks to the addition of a front-facing on the iPhone 4 you can now have face-to-face chats with anyone else who has an iPhone 4 and is on a Wi-fi network. I can already imagine how amazing it will be to experience this feature in action.

Retina Display – iPhone 4’s display has been vastly improved over the iPhone 3GS. It has 326 pixels per inch, making its screen quality purportedly comparable to printed text. If anything else everything on the iPhone 4 will look sharper, clearer, and more authentic.

Multitasking – I hope this needs no explanation but if it does: Finally you can run apps concurrently. You can leave Pandora streaming in the background as you browse the web on Safari. Yes, please!

HD Video Recording – Record 720p video at 30fps on the iPhone 4. But what good is recording video if you can’t edit video..?

iMovie on iPhone – This one surprised everyone. You can now edit movies right on your iPhone 4. This includes adding transitions, titles, and including an audio soundtrack. This still blows me away.

5-Megapixel Camera – 5 megapixel with LED flash. Also it can do that whole HD Video thing too.

There’s many more features that were announced but really I’d be wasting your time if you read them here. Apple’s site has so many more pretty pictures. I’ll hopefully get some opinions up here later but for now that’s your Apple update. Enjoy! :)

The most viewed post that I’ve written so far has been the Amazon Marketplace entry – seems people are interested in making an easy dollar. So, the natural thing for me to do is write a guide on how to sell your stuff on Amazon.

Amazon already offers tutorials to help you start selling. I found them a little confusing and scattered so I’m writing my own. This one goes from A-to-B: wanting to sell something to getting the funds in your bank account.

This guide will be broken into three different parts. The first part will teach you how to list your items on Amazon Marketplace, the second part will show you what to do when an item sells, and the third part will show you how to get your earnings into your bank account!
