During the last three years I have noticed a resurgence of all things procedural. Be it Law and Order SVU, CSI, NCIS and online sensations like Serial, Undisclosed and Making a Murderer, investigating crimes and pleading for the wrongfully accused has become mainstream. I can’t blame the public for eating up the drama, it is […]
Subliminal, How Your Unconscious Mind Rules Your Behavior, by Leonard Mlodinow is a fabulous exploration of our subconscious mind and how it drives us. Amazingly, a lot of people are quick to dismiss the power of suggestions and hidden messages because they don’t understand that our brains process information even when we aren’t consciously aware.

Like Nando, I wish I knew more words that could help me describe the epic novel my friend Gabino Iglesias has gifted to the world. For many years I have been wondering if a Spanglish masterpiece could ever be penned and this book is proof it can be accomplished. If Gabriel García Márquez was alive […]
Christmas Day is upon us (and for some it has already passed as you read this) and there is nothing more exciting for a seasoned gamer/player than waking up to all the noobs. From Call of Duty to Helldivers, every online playing cooperative or multiplayer game is getting its fair share of first timers; of […]
Have you ever had a moment when you were so concentrated and in the zone that time flew by without you noticing it? A time when you felt an all engrossing rush of fulfillment and utter excitement? Do you know what triggers those moments? According to Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, the cause for our experience is a […]
He who shall not be named became a very popular phrase after the Harry Potter books and movies broke into mainstream media in the early 2000s. An entire generation of muggles coined the phrase to refer to those people who were no longer worthy of being mentioned; an antagonistic character that chose us as their […]
There are so many things wrong with this game, I don’t even know where to start. Normally, my review would be about how awesome the graphics are and how original the story was but for some reason it didn’t impress me. After watching my sister and husband struggle with the enemies and the story twists, […]
The Goodreads app has reading challenge menu where you can set a goal for the year. For 2015, I decided to set my goal to 55 books, or 1.067 books per week. Yikes! I thought a year was enough time to pull it off since on average, I read about 30 to 40 books per […]
As an avid reader of DC Comics, Wonder Woman became my favorite super hero, and as the most successful woman in comic book history, I was surprised to learn very few books were available on the subject of her genesis and rise to popularity. To me, it was no secret that Wonder Woman was a […]
Believe it or not, this is the first book I have read about a woman in engineering so my expectations were perhaps a bit too high. Donna Shirley, once the manager of the California Institute of Technology’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, is a renowned aerospace and mechanical engineer credited for leading the Mars exploration project that […]
