Yeah. Listened to that one last week. Love things like Freakonomics, Radio Lab, and On the Media. Got sucked into the first season of Serial too; not so much the second season. I load them up in the phone and listen to them on drives down to the valley and/or coast.

So, Bill Prince has put me on to a rich source diversion now... Freakonomics podcasts.
Listening to one right now about failure is your friend.

Has a good piece on the Challenger disaster. I had always heard that a Morton Thiokol employee (they built the solid rocket boosters) was warning them not to launch. This podcast goes a bit beyond that. He refused to sign off on the launce and made his boss do it.

no breakfast and skipping lunch is the worst thing you can do... you are signaling your primal brain that times are tought .. scare food... store fat! you need to eat 5 times , breakfast, lunch, dinner and 2 snacks (small portions).. do this along with Darin recommendations on the type of foods and you'll loose weight with little exercise...

    What has worked for me in the past (and I need to do now) is to
    work through lunch (and don’t eat before bed).  Seems easier in
    summer, more stuff to do, and heat makes me more thirsty than
    hungry.  If you eat a big lunch on a hot day, you want a siesta.
    Stress makes me eat.  I used to work closely with a product
    manager who was the opposite.  When things were going badly, we
    were like Mutt and Jeff.  (Laurel and Hardy?  Abbott and
    Costello?  Jay and Silent Bob? Key and Peele?)  Figure out which
    type you are, and either increase or decrease your stress level
    accordingly.

    Still trying to shed holiday pounds.  Seems harder each year.  I
    know a bunch of guys that have lost a bunch of weight with
    medifast.  Seems expensive.  I did nutrisystems years ago and it
    worked pretty good.  Any opinions?  (My wife is  a fantastic cook,
    getting rid of her is NOT an option).
