11 Rules to Live by for SXSW 2011
1. SXSW Interactive is my fave. It’s a little quieter, it’s a lot more networking, and it has as much or more free stuff than film or music. 2. See a SXSW Film. It’s cheap and worth waiting in line to see big name premieres. 3. SXSW Music exhausts me. The easiest thing to do…
Austin: Savory Spice Shop

Book Review: The Paleo Solution
I just finished reading The Paleo Solution: The Original Human Diet by Robb Wolf. As I expected, it’s quite good as an excellent primer to paleo. When I first started eating paleo, I saw a lot of the “success stories” and understood that eating paleo is generally healthy, but no one could ever explain to…
