"timothy ferriss" news and stories

When it comes to peeling eggs, I've always been a fan of the smash and roll that Emily advocated a while back in a Tip of the Day. However, I know other people who incorporate knives, spoons or running water in their shelling technique. It appears that there's another, little-known technique and Timothy Ferriss (the man who does everything more efficiently than you and who wrote the book, The 4-Hour Workweek) recently made a short demonstration video to detail the technique. All you need is water, an egg and some baking soda.

What do you think? Will this become your new hardboiled egg peeling method?

There's an interesting post over at our sister blog Gadling. It's from author Timothy Ferriss, author of The 4-Hour Work Week. I think the book is interesting if a bit unrealistic, but this list is intriguing.

He picks his eight favorite beverages from around the world, and you won't see any Yoo-Hoo or Clamato on the list. Ordinarily we wouldn't be able to try any of these drinks without traveling to Japan or Brazil, but thanks to the internet we can order them online (the post has links to all of the companies).

Tanzanian Peaberry Coffee sounds like the ultimate pick-me-up. Acai is a mixture of berry and caffeine that looks like purple frozen yogurt. Pocari Sweat is...well, does it matter? With a name like that it's something you just have to try.
