Free candy, outlandish costumes and out-there cocktails aside, Halloween is really all about the spirit of getting spooked out, and providing spookiness unto others. What better way to give the gift of ghost, other than setting up your very own haunted house?
One of my fondest Halloween memories was when in sixth grade, I was [...]

While some people think that Halloween costumes should be sexy, others vote spooky, I say glam. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I do love zombies, but when it comes to costumes, I’d rather be Liza Minnelli in Cabaret, Cher in anything (Cher needs no explanation), Judy Garland (as Dorothy Gale, of course), Joan Collins [...]

If you’re a musical snob like myself, it is probably only on rare and few occasions that you allow others to pack some external punch into your playlists, let alone dictate your listening choices. After all, why risk the chance of an Air Supply song creeping on you when you’re just getting the [...]

Like many children all over the world I remember falling in love with “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” which became one of my all time favorite books. Long before Tim Burton and Johnny Depp forced their Freudian theories down our throats I used to read it over and over again visualizing all of Roald Dahl’s [...]

For most of us this Tuesday is going to be just another day. However, one place in this world will be anything but ordinary. One city will be transformed into a wild and whimsical wonderland.
Two years ago I got on the flight to New Orleans and happened to sit next to a woman with a [...]

As a dedicated albeit newbie MacHead, I’ve decided to greet each Monday here at 5min with some goodies your Mac desperately needs. Whether you’re a fledgling Mac user or a full-on groupie with life-size cardboard cutouts of Steve Jobs under your bed, I’m hoping this will bring you use, save you time, and above all [...]
