While this is true, there are many tools available which can make GMail into a powerful productivity system, capable of organizing your work or life...

When you think of ping pong (perhaps you call it table tennis) you probably don’t think of fitness, but when was the last time you saw an obese pro ping pong player? I know, the average ping pong player is probably very different physically than a pro, but you get my point...

I recently decided to take a look at the RSS aggregator/reader market for the Mac and see if I could come up with a better reader than the one I’ve been using for the past couple of years. I started reading some things, downloaded a bunch of them, and started to sort through them one at a time...

If you’re running Wordpress on your site and would like to track your RSS feed subscription numbers, I’m sure there are quite a few ways to go about it...

Frozen by the shining sun, my mind is set alight by her long breaths. Liquidity. My transformation is complete as full dark slips over the world. I stare at her face, so peaceful in its repose. The ache of my love is so strong now that I fear it will wake her...

“Why do people have to be this lonely? What’s the point of it all? Millions of people in this world, all of them yearning, looking to others to satisfy them, yet isolating themselves. Why? Was the Earth put here just to nourish human loneliness...

I’m running as quickly as I can, my bare feet flashing out in front of me and slapping the hard white sand. As I run, I notice the vast emptiness of this place and it terrifies me. How am I to get to safety? Where can I go...

It’s been a while since I posted any Poetry Challenge related material, but I thought I’d quickly post one I actually received and wrote a while ago, but never got around do posting...

I’ve recently started to read books by Haruki Murakami after having a friend recommend one of his books, Kafka on the Shore. I actually started out by reading Norwegian Wood and then moved on to the former, and I’ve recently finished The Wind-up Bird Chronicle...

She shuffles around the room in her slippers. As I wake, she glances over at me. I’m sprawled out in the bed like a magnificent stretched lion, wearing all of the pillows as my mane. She tells me it’s cold outside, which doesn’t really surprise me. It’s winter...

Empty Coffee Shop by M.J. Adams empty coffee shop winter’s dim light reaching through the frosty window

I decided to write a poem of my own accord, since I haven’t really been getting any suggestions for my Poetry Challenge. It snowed a bit last night and some on and off today and so I wrote a poem about it...
