I discovered the secret to Me Not Getting Starved and Hitting the Vending Machine at 10:30am: Peanut butter for breakfast! It succeeded where other proteins like eggs and sausage failed me. Who knew?

A cool source of X-mas presents for geeks: Makers Market refugees

Since the Makers Market shut, a group of self-described "MM Refugees" set up an Etsy treasury to promote their "wonderful science, tech and artistic creations."
