Step 1 of 4 Week Plan to Answering What Is This All For! - (USA)
Yesterday I was traveling back from Colorado Springs (I am going for another week next week if any of you live there, drop me an email and we can maybe have a lunch thing) and I realized that there is no way I can put this plan all in one post… so I am going to have to divide it up. In the previous post “4 Weeks to Answering What This is All For” I mentioned the four part… Time: I needed to give myself as much time as I could to focus on the right things, needed to eliminate activities that w

Mind Power Games - (USA)
Want a fun way to tune up your brain? Why not use some classic mind games to help you increase your brainpower and get you out of your thinking “ruts.” Good mind games habituate you to using creative problem solving as a normal part of thinking about things. One lateral thinking puzzle you can try right now involves nine dots, layed out three by three. You have to connect them all with four straight lines, and without lifting the pen or pencil from the paper. Figure this one out and you’ll app

Building a Demo Binder - (USA)
A couple of weeks ago I started a new feature in my Examiner.com column called Play It Now .

Your Kid’s Ability to Start a Home Business - (USA)
Over the years, my girls (now 11 and 7) have asked me to help them start their own business. They have had several ideas come and go...an online horse game business; a political magazine and a fashion magazine; pet related products; girl related hard-copy magazines; a horse stable downtown; they wanted to manufacture their own toys and create their own video games; and oh, yes- the homemade treats they wanted to bake, package and sell themselves.I have always told them that I loved their ideas a

Career of What I Was Going To Do Anyway - (USA)
When I was a teenager, my main mode of social interaction was paper-and-pencil role playing games. Among my favorite was Vampire: The Masquerade, which (theoretically, anyway) centered around this idea of clutching to humanity, passion, and life as an undead creature. One of the innovations in the system was alternative moral codes, called “paths” — basically, the metaphysics of the game were adjusted so that the vampire characters of the story didn’t have to cling to humanity necessarily, but

Support the Troops – Blissfully Domestic Style! - (USA)
I recently learned many soldiers in my husband's unit where not getting the love and support they need while deployed to Afghanistan. Some of the soldiers are female soldiers- and need "special items." So I thought – "I know our Blissfully Domestic readers would be the perfect group to jump in and show the love!"

Why do all those people play video games now? - (USA)
Video games are far more popular than the niche-attitude of the hardcore culture could justify. It’s simply impossible for the entire audience of video games to consist of over-educated geeks and obsessed hobbyists. Not with sales numbers this high. There’s simply not enough people in the world who are nerdy enough to think that collecting all the gold coins on a trail or shooting all the nazis in a dungeon -or doing it as fast as you can- is “cool”. Something else is going on in video games. S
