New year’s resolutions

As I’ve told a few people this week, I didn’t make any new year’s resolutions this year.

By getting things going in December, I like to say I made life resolutions – if only so I’m not that guy who tells people that a new number on the calendar is going to magically change his habits. Maybe a technical distinction, but I digress. Here’s the point:

If you’re one of those people who’s life is controlled by the pressure-packed promises you made around the turn of the year, you need to read this. And not only because it makes a reference to one of my favorite mottos: Everything in moderation.

I really need to do a gallery of the dishes I’ve whipped up over the last few months, but in the meantime: Is this not the sexiest thing you have ever seen?

Ingredients: Three eggs, cheddar cheese, red pepper, deli turkey, tomato, red onion. Harris Teeter's black bean and white corn salsa on the side.

Slowly started learning to cook in 2011, and this is the first omelette I’ve ever attempted. Hat tip to this YouTube video that made it happen.

Political geekiness FTW:

What happens when the president makes a recess appointment when the Senate is not technically on recess?

Nobody knows.

With the impending boom of bikeshare platforms across the country, you had to see this coming.

My apartment is about 350 square feet. It’s pretty small, but not compared to these new-age lofts in downtown Vancouver.
