It does really depend on your situation. If you're single with no commitments, going back to school might be easier. Another option might be to talk to your current employer. See if there might be an opportunity to slowly transition

While interesting, I think these diagrams are dangerous. They send a message that if fresh fruits contain these "scary" chemicals, then we shouldn't worry about the chemicals we see in processed foods. The problem is that s

For a long time, I had been hearing that bloggers should create ebooks or other "info-products" if they want to generate any meaningful income. As a result, I've recently launched an experiment; a small book with tips for st

These numbers are from my blog, http://foodconstrued.com I have one sidebar ad, and usually one ad at the bottom of each entry. Last month (September) I had 4873 page views and 25 clicks. This resulted in $8.75. My best month w

It's so hard to recommend something without a frame of reference. Personally, I've found myself re-reading The Lord of the Rings lately. But, if I had to pick one book that was my favourite, I might say Moby Dick . (I'll admit that I a

I made a tool ( http://complex-area-calculator.appspot.com ) for calculating areas of polygons. Initially, it was really just cobbled together and there are a lot of problems with the code. I'm currently in the process of a re-write, but by

I don't often deal with SQL and when I do, it is usually quite simple. But, I think there is actually an error in the first step: SELECT avg(rating), wine_id FROM app_wine GROUP BY wine_id; The query sho

I've recently enjoyed a biography of Kristian Birkeland ( http://www.amazon.com/The-Northern-Lights-Unlocked-Borealis/... ). Birkeland worked to find the source of the northern lights, but he sold other inventions in order to fund his resea

Times have changed I guess. The last time I applied for work was over twenty years ago. Back then resumes were printed on paper and mailed (or hand delivered) to prospective employers. It was very rare to never hear back. You almost alwa

It all comes down to people's perceptions. When they hear that something is organic or natural, many people assume it must be better for us, and if it is better, it must contain more nutrients. Food company's like to use this to their adva

It looks similar to StrokePlay ( http://www.strokeplaypro.com/ ). The developer has a really good blog describing his micro ISV experiences, but it hasn't been updated recently.

I think there is a Canadian tendency avoid risk. With the tech sector this means that if government funding is not immediately available, nothing is worth risking your own money. I'm reminded of one my history professors who used to say th

Marion Nestle of the Politics of Food, wrote about this study early this week ( http://www.foodpolitics.com/2012/06/does-where-calories-come... ) She's skeptical. Basically, she says you cannot really draw any reliable conclusions becuase

I know a person who routinely says "I smoke a pack of cigarettes a day. It doesn't affect my health and I don't have lung cancer, so the doctors must be wrong." The truth is your habits will catch up to you. Eventually.

I don't think inexperience in the NDP is really going to be much of an issue initially. Given that the Conservatives now have a majority, even a veteran opposition would have a hard time being effective. Hopefully, we'll see these "kids" b

I'm not a nutritionist, biologist, or doctor, but I have a huge sweet tooth, and I actually tried to answer this question on my humble little blog ( http://foodconstrued.com/2011/02/sugar-cravings/ ) back in February. My answer: It is not

This post struck me as being more of an advertisement than anything else. Does anyone have any less subjective opinions on these types of market places?

Absolutely. All food is made up of component chemicals. Still, I think people need to be more aware of the food they are eating. Have you ever had a look at the ingredients in non-dairy creamer: http://foodconstrued.com/2011/01/cream-in-

I think that is exactly the point the chef was making. Consumers in general are not willing to pay (or can't pay) for high quality frozen food. Look at how many brands are available in the $2-$3 range vs. higher cost items.
