We've got our eye on the John Chamberlain show in London April 17-May 26 at the Gagosian Gallery in London. It'll be the first show of the great, and recently passed, American sculptor in the UK since 2011. Re-purposing is something that’s in fashion these days, but Chamberlain wasn’t really...
have yourself a death party
Amy Pickard looks more like she belongs on the set of a music video than like someone who’d encourage you to sit down and write out your last will and testament. That’s exactly why she’s the perfect ambassador for advance planning. Invite her over to...
Some people in our community seem to have an aversion when it comes to strength training, and it seems to be rooted in the false idea that lifting heavy weight is either dangerous or will transform one into the Hulk.
Perhaps this belief was born from images of 1980s bodybuilders....
a new face for milk makeup
We just wanted to use this space to give a shout-out to one of our own. The fabulous Jocelyne Beaudoin, a prop stylist and interior designer we profiled last year, has been having quite a run as a model. First, she walked the catwalk twice...

Thus far, the only way to tackle them has been through painstaking, lengthy research, the publishing of papers, peer review, and costly analysis and testing by big pharmaceutical companies. Enter: artificial intelligence. Turns out that among the...
We have a certain affinity for early-80s synth pop. It’s just fun, what can we say. It seems that Kris Van Assche, the artistic director of Dior Homme, feels the same way. The new Dior campaign features Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe of PSB. Interestingly, it doesn’t feel nostalgic...
HIMSS 2018 conference review
I was asked to deliver a keynote for a session at the HIMSS health conference, which drew 45,000 attendees last week in lovely, sterile Las Vegas. Our breakout was around health, aging and technology. My job was to tell them all about you, our readers, and...
the big freeze
When we first started AGEIST, one of the short-hand comments we frequently uttered to distinguish our group was an aversion to cruise ship vacations. Now, we're forced to admit, there are a few exceptions to this rule, and Antarctica is one of them. Thankfully, the "Opinionator" (and good...
