I have always been a fan of red wine, but it wasn’t until recently that I read that it is able to make you stay young! A girlfriend of mine and I were talking about this when we went out to get a couple of drinks, and we didn’t know if red or white wine was better for you. I decided to Google this information on my iPhone while we were out to settle the debate, and it turns out that red wine wins.
You are recommended to drink a glass of red wine with a meal so that your body can absorb it slower for five days a week. This is supposed to reduce illnesses, like diabetes and a heart attack. The alcohol within the red wine does soothe inflamed arteries, but red wine also contains flavenoids, which are antioxidant ingredients that can protect the body. One of the biggest benefits to drinking red wine full of antioxidants is the fact that it can protect your cells underneath the surface and neutralize free radical damage. This is one of the biggest components to staying young because it will prevent fine lines and wrinkles from forming. I’ll drink to that!
A friend and I were having a lively debate about whether or not pork rinds were bad for you. We were shopping together in the grocery store to buy some snacks for a football game, when she desperately wanted to buy pork rinds. I knew that she was trying to stick to a healthy diet, but she claimed that they were a healthier snack. I decided that the only way to settle this fight was to look up the nutritional information on my iPhone.
Who doesn’t love Starbucks? It is an incredibly popular coffee chain in America, and I normally find myself stopping there on the way to work in the morning. I will text several of my coworkers on my iPhone, and they will text me back their coffee orders. This makes me pretty popular in the office because I always bring coffee for everyone.
One iPhone application that I absolutely love is Read It Later. Let me start out by saying how much I love my iPhone and all of the applications that come with it because there really seems to be an application for everyone! Read It Later is really cool because it lets you store any website that you were on to mark it to be read later. For instance, if you were shopping for a bunch of different items, then you could mark specific websites to read later. You can also mark them for off-line reading, if you want to read from your home computer.
It is no surprise to find that pretty much every celebrity in the world is on Twitter. It is a popular social media network, and any time you hear a celebrity being interviewed in the media, they always plug that you should follow them on Twitter. Just one more avenue to market yourself! As we all know, Courtney Love is a volatile celebrity personality and always has been. It only leads us to believe that it would be even more interesting to find out what she has to say on Twitter. Apparently, she has a very strong voice on a variety of subjects, and she even discusses credit score counseling!
I absolutely love the fall season for many reasons. One of the biggest reasons is, of course, football. I am an avid football fan, and I have spent a serious amount of time looking up the Cowboys football schedule on my iPhone. This is the biggest benefit of having the iPhone as a football fan because you can obsessively check out football information, no matter where you may be. This is not something that my wife is too pleased about, but she’s used to it by now. Often times, when we are out to dinner, I will be looking up scores or the times of the football games in the week.
I have always considered myself to be the advanced version of a musical library because I know so much random trivia. I don’t know why, but musical knowledge over the years has truly stuck with me, so I can always tell you which 80s band sang which random 80s song, and so on. In fact, whenever my friends and I go out to listen to live music, I can normally tell within the first few bars if it is a cover of Janis Joplin’s “Bobby McGee” or some other obscure song. It is an impressive skill, which I use to my advantage, that is, until I discovered Shazam…
Lunch is absolutely my favorite time of day, and did you have any idea that you can now order your lunch directly online? This seems to be the way of the future. I will tell you the truth, I normally will take my lunch with me to work, unless I don’t have time and am forced to buy fast food. However, some people in my office did start ordering their lunches online, so they didn’t even have to lift a finger, and the lunches were delivered to them directly.
This is going to sound like a cranky old man blog post, but I absolutely hate spam. I conduct a lot of my business when I’m out and about, so my iPhone is like my right hand. I can’t tell you how inconvenient it is when I am trying to look up information regarding a client that I’m about to visit, and then I only have an inbox full of spam. On top of that, can I vent for a little bit and talk about spam filters?
I’m getting very excited for the new fall lineup, and I have been watching all of the new previews everyday before work on my iPhone. One cool preview for a new fall TV show that I watched recently is Glee, which I have to admit that I was skeptical about at first. I don’t always know how I feel about high school shows because the characters are usually unbelievable, especially since they are much older than high school in real life. However, I was impressed by this show when I was watching the first teaser episode on my iPhone because it has a lot of fun music, which is something that always grabs me.
