Experimenting With Exclusive Articles At Associated Content
2008-01-15 01:29:00 I’ve mentioned Associated Content before here at Philaahzophy, though I still need to do a full review on them.

Results Of The (Not So) Great Diet Pill Experiment
2008-01-14 18:44:00 Just over a month ago I wrote about starting a diet pill experiment to test the efficacy of Relacore. As I wrote in the original post- I’m NOT a fan of pills.

User Video Hits Prime Time TV Big Time
2008-01-14 15:27:00 As much as I enjoy big budget motion pictures, there’s still some carnal appeal in seeing actual videos made by real people.

Maximizing Savings By The Playing The Gift Card Market
2008-01-12 00:53:00 I thought I’d start the first installment of Friday Frugality with a confession: I’m a shopaholic. More accurately I’m a spendaholic. I love to spend money. What I’m spending it on doesn’t matter nearly as much as that I’m spending it. I even love spending money on the new pants ... More About: Card , Market , Starbucks , Gift , Savings

Dr. Ron Paul Disappoints In New Hamphire Primary
2008-01-10 03:18:00 Well, it seems like Dr. Ron Paul came in a fairly solid 5th in the New Hampshire Republican Presidential Primary . I’ve got to admit I’m very disappointed.

Are Any Agorists Actually Active?
2008-01-06 23:56:00 A few weeks ago I came across Brad Spengler’s article Distinguishing between anarcho-capitalism and agorism.

More articles from this author:2008-01-05 03:51:00 On the way back from picking up Z I drove down a street that I had been down a mere 15 minutes earlier.
