Sorry for the lack of updates lately. All of us at Jarjac are knee-deep in law school finals right now, so we hope you understand the conflict. We’ll be back, ready to publish some great content in a couple weeks. Jarjac has seen steady growth during the last two months. We want to continue expanding and [...]

Get in the kitchen… Pancakes

John — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 13:00:13 +0000

Every guy perceives the kitchen differently. Some are absolutely clueless, unable to make basic skillet recipes or scrambled eggs. For them, the preparation, patience, and cleaning are too much of an irritant to foster any enjoyment of the activity. Others show no fear with a knife and frying pan. These types view cooking as [...]

Improve the way women perceive you

Ryan — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 14:04:49 +0000

Men get a bad reputation for being sloppy, piggish, and unkempt. While these monikers may apply to some individuals, those terms do not define manhood. Many of the females I know are dirtier than I am and some of my best guy friends are neat freaks. There may be explanation why males get this rap. [...]

Feed Yourself Without Breaking the Bank

John — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 13:01:45 +0000

It’s difficult to buy anything in the current economy without cleaning out your wallet. In the supermarket, price increases due to increased transportation costs and inflation places an additional burden on the our budgets. While you cannot change the retail price of items you buy, you can make this burden a bit easier, by applying [...]

The Elusive 8 Pack

Cesar — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 05:32:44 +0000

The eight pack is the highest echelon of abdominal development. Some say genetics afford you only a four or six pack, but because I am of the “can” mentality I strongly believe it can be attained by everyone. First thing that we must all understand is that: Ab workouts do not burn fat! You lose fat with [...]

The Stanley Cup Playoffs: Exciting Memories Guaranteed

Dan — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 00:45:19 +0000

I remember it vividly: the moment I became a fan of NHL hockey. In the final game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the New Jersey Devils trailed the New York Rangers late into the third period. With each passing moment, my hopes of seeing the Devils win the Stanley Cup dwindled. Thanks to Rangers’ defensemen, [...]

Five drinks every man should order

Ryan — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 13:19:54 +0000

There’s some truth to the statement, the drink makes the man. When ordering a drink, each of us make a choice. What many don’t realize is that what they choose defines them—at least to the others in the bar that evening. The drink you choose communicates general stereotypes to your friends you went out [...]

The Web as a conversation

Ryan — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 13:06:21 +0000

Paul Graham, on disagreeing on the web. [via Daringfireball] The web is turning writing into a conversation. Twenty years ago, writers wrote and readers read. The web lets readers respond, and increasingly they do—in comment threads, on forums, and in their own blog posts. Men’s lifestyle blogs will never transcend to the realm of web relevance until [...]

Making a Long Distance Relationship Work

Dan — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 23:02:29 +0000

I’m as much in love with my girlfriend today as I was the day we began dating nearly six years ago. This comes as a surprise to many people I tell, especially when I explain to them that much of this time, our relationship survived despite significant distance between us. Throughout college, a six hour [...]

Six Steps to Self-Esteem

Cesar — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 16:00:40 +0000

Success can be measured in many ways. To some, fame and fortune make the man; to others, success means hard work and a happy family. Regardless of your personal goals, all of us want to lead accomplished lives. Self esteem is the common trait in all definitions of success. Without it, one can accomplish [...]

Clear Channel threatened by XM-Sirius

Ryan — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 13:07:52 +0000

For those following the XM-Sirius Merger, comes a request from terrestrial radio competitor, Clear Channel. ‘One of the primary potential dangers to free, over-the-air radio posed by this merger is siphoning popular, including ‘edgy’ content, with consequent loss of advertising revenue,’ Clear Channel wrote to the FCC on March 11th. ‘That potential harm is mitigated if [...]

Bond dressed in Tom Ford

Ryan — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 18:30:42 +0000

In the next Bond film, Craig isn’t being dressed by Brioni. He’s been dressed by Tom Ford International. We want you to find out more. Good luck out there. God knows, you’ll need it. Daniel Craig, the man bringing personality back to the James Bond name, will be dressed in an American designer, in Bond 22, [...]

Time Pressed Meals: Lasagna

Ryan — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 14:00:35 +0000

Working 9 to 5 each day is draining and by the time one travels home from work, the desire to relax is usually top priority. Sitting down to watch the game or going out to grab a beer can sound much more appetizing than—well—cooking. For those who like to come home to a hot meal [...]

Latest Polls show Republican gains

John — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 14:30:14 +0000

McCain Leads Democrats Apparently the drawn out primaries are hurting the Democratic Party’s chances in the general election. Senator John McCain is apparently now leading in at least one national poll on the general election. These results come despite President Bush’s low approval ratings, the war in Iraq, the economy, and the foreclosure epidemic. If [...]
