This is too cute, this x-ray photo of a kiss.

NYC Condom Initiative

Posted in Health, Sex, NYC by Elliott Back on February 16th, 2007.

There’s just one problem with the NYC condom program: the colors of their lettering don’t match the actual subway line colors:

The colors should actually look something more like this:

There’s no O or Y line, so I substituted the nearest I could find, the 1/2/3 for O and 7 for Y. Note how much uglier the actual real subway colors are. Makes me want to redesign all of NYC’s subway colors. Or just take them from their new condom. The old colors don’t match!

Organic Food is Bad For You

Posted in Food, Health by Elliott Back on September 29th, 2006.

This is why organic food:

organic-01

is not always good for you:

organic-02

There are definitely times when I feel that preservatives may actually be good things. After all, they do prevent strawberries from getting moldy at the local health-food supermarket!

Starbucks Tazo Tea Reviewed

Posted in Food, Health, Juice by Elliott Back on September 18th, 2006.

It’s well known that drinking inordinate amounts of tea–green tea, especially–leads to a egregious lifespan. Heavy tea drinkers in Japan died 26% less than those that didn’t drink green tea. Could you ever think that 绿茶 could be the secret to eternal life? Tea drinkers are immortal.

Procrastinate by Mikef

My favorite brand of common consumer tea right now is Tazo, a Starbucks tea brand. It’s delicious, flavourful, and light. Besides boosting their earnings reports and ready-to-go drinks marketshare, Starbucks is probably saving lives with their delicious tea. Yum.

I am in no way affiliated with Starbucks or Tazo and was not compensated in any way to write this. I just love their tea!

Long Hair or Short Hair?

Posted in Family, My Blog, Health, Life, Photo by Elliott Back on July 29th, 2006.

So I just got my hair cut. Here’s a photo of me with longer hair:

And now, the new me:

I think the former picture looks better, but the hair’s nicer in the second.
