The ZombieGato Guide to the Gym: Gyminee.com 2008-08-23 19:11:27 I recently started the Fat Flush detox, a program I do a few times a year. It's an amazing way to lose 5-10 pounds and give your liver a rest from toxins like alcohol, coffee, and dairy (yes! dairy). I'm pairing that with a big exercise shift, where I am trying to focus on more group sessions and outdoor stuff like jogging in Malibu. Because once I started blogging for a living I've noticed, uh, n Read more:Guide

The ZombieGato Guide to Flying: American Airlines Now Offers WiFi 2008-08-23 17:52:41 American Airlines
is rolling out in-flight WiFi
for a measly $12.95. I say Measly because that's about the size of a small in-flight sandwich. So, WiFi connectivity for the price of a small sandwich is fine by me! The service begins today, making AA the first airliner to offer this perk.For a nice package deal, get yourself a TeleAdapt Inflight Power Adapter for $34.99 so you won't run out of juic Read more:Guide

And let me guess...they are totally stressing because they are not going to college, they miss their friends and families and--whatever, if you feel like feeling b
Cell Phone Charger You Won't Have to Plug In 2008-08-20 20:43:21 I escaped to Rosarito, Mexico last week with the boyfriend, where we rented a nice little ocean-front condo. The only problem is that my blackberry was on freak-out mode looking for service that wasn't really there, and since we spent so much time on the actual beach (wtf, right? like who does that?) I had nowhere to really recharge the battery without having to trudge back down to the apartment. Read more:Charger

Website Templates for Authors and Freelancers 2008-10-02 03:00:32 I have never had to think about creating a website to showcase my work since the advent of blogs. Blogs are simple, beautiful and modern. Unfortunately, in the writer's sphere, it looks like the standard way of showcasing your portfolio is through your own website. Since I am in the middle of looking for an agent and a publishing house for one of my manuscripts, my school advisor suggested I set u Read more:Templates

ZombieGato Loves Yelp.com 2008-09-30 19:36:08 I have a theory. The way to find out about a person's personality lies in their Yelp page. You've heard about Yelp.com, the site that's devoted to user reviews of restaurants and other types of shops. I use it from time to time, particularly for restaurants I love. But what's really telling are the individual profiles. You can tell a lot about a person by 1) how many curse words they use 2) how mu
ZombieGato is Spooked: TAPS and Their Incredible K2 Meter Gadget 2008-09-25 18:27:53 I am obsessed with Ghost Hunters and the TAPS guys and lately I've been noticing that they've been using a new gadget, the K2; It's a little machine that they normally place on a chair, that is supposed to light up when movement brushes past it; presumably when a ghost is nearby or trying to communicate. Now I know this sounds far fetched but out of all of the ghost hunters episodes, the ones that Read more:Incredible

My Progress on Gymnee 2008-09-25 18:01:00 I signed up for Gyminee a few weeks back and was doing great--I was able to figure out exactly how many calories I was taking in each day, and monitor my intake or protein, fat and other stuff live. I got unmotivated for about two weeks so I bounced off the site for a little bit of time, but when I realized that I lost 4 pounds, I came back just to input my progress. Down to 122 and want about 12

Zombie Gato is Still Trippin: Transfer Audiobooks to iTunes 2008-09-11 14:46:23 I'm on a weird (and embarrassing) audio book kick and have been using my re-discovered Creative Zen W and a new Audible account to check out a few titles, like Rich Dad Poor Dad and The 4 Hour Workweek. Before you judge me, these are books that I have literally seen some of my most successful friends checking out; signed musicians, big time academics, etc. And yes they're all rolling in the moolah Read more:Trippin

Zombie Gato is Trippin All Over Wires: Transfer Tivo Movies to Creative Zens 2008-09-11 02:49:39 I rediscovered my Creative Zen today, a little (well, big) gadget I've had for about a year now. I never really used it to its full extent because I thought I had lost the adapter. So today I powered up the little sucker and discovered that I could transfer Gossip Girl and Chappelle Show into it and carry it around in my pocket, for no particular reason. And now I'm obsessed.

ZombieGato Website of the Day: Is The RNC or DNC Site Better? 2008-09-05 01:14:23 At my job I've had to make use of hi res images and videos for articles I have written on the Democratic and Republican National conventions. So it's safe to say that I've gotten pretty cozy with both websites (as geeky as that sounds). Which one do I prefer? I'll have to say the RNC site; I like how they clearly specify and organize the days of the convention and the eye is immediately drawn to t

Palin? Apparently on a Google
