An Apple a day, keeps the Genius in pay
The (much too) common cold Illness, even minor, can be a real headache. And sometimes, just sometimes, that illness encompasses headache, too. It couldn’t have come at a better time, as I’m preparing to shoot a wedding at the weekend. As usual, I’m determined to beat it into submission. Combing through the medical literature in…

A New Chapter
Hello. How ’bout that last post? You guys might not know this, but I consider myself a bit of a loner. I tend to think of myself as a one man wolf pack. But when I met Seamus in the lab and heard his Metal Gear Solid exclamation message tone, I knew he was one…
