So this past week, Kurtis and I got an article published on TNation, titled New Uses for Creatine. We basically summed up some 101 on creatine (it works, it’s safe), and then talked about interesting research being done using it (neurological, cell-saving, etc).

On my way to Argentina, I read an article in the airplane magazine about two guys who had created a restaurant review website for Buenos Aires. Their website – Oleo – is a pretty decent website. Yet it is the only website I have found for restaurants in Buenos Aires. Hell – in the US [...]
Drilling Down on Local 2008 starts tomorrow, and if you are coming, be sure to come say hi to us at our booth. Always happy to meet people who read this blog and/or follow iBegin. I would have posted this a while ago, but I was hit with a stomach bug/fever like I’ve never been [...]
