I’ve been pretty cooped up this week with a bad cold, but it didn’t keep me from at least accomplishing a few things this week.
I’m thinking I need to calibrate my sport kit. According to it, on Monday I walked 1.47mi in 30 minutes, at an average pace of 20’17”. I missed Wednesday because of [...]
Well, I got a little sidetracked last week but I’m back in the saddle today. The first week working out without my trainer was tough. I managed to do a full workout twice last week, and even upped the weight on a few things. So that felt good. I really dropped the ball on the [...]
I have to say I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my mini vacation. Although we didn’t end up going anywhere, I got my car fixed, I test drove a few new ones (while the Jetta will always hold a special place in my heart, I want to get rid of it before the warranty expires), I went to [...]
I love the little bonus the Nike+iPod Sport Kit gives you when you reach a new milestone—today I had Paula Radcliffe tell me that I’d set a new fastest mile. Today I worked out for 30’24” and walked 1.5 miles. I burned 508 calories. My average pace was 20’15”(!) and my new fastest mile is [...]
Maggie has unleashed a fury upon our house the likes of which I had not expected from her. Virtually every surface she touches—every surface she looks at, is seemingly instantaneously covered in hair. I vacuumed every couch and chair today, along with all the floors, and afterward I found this after she sat on the [...]
I spent the weekend looking at houses in Mobile. Midtown is actually a lot nicer than I’ve ever realized. The fact that I’m not in a position to buy a house right now isn’t lost on me. But it was fun to pretend.
(Yes, I’m going to keep up the short posts, no I won’t keep [...]
Dear Bravo:
Your flash detection isn’t working.
You launched your new site with greeking on the non-flash version.
Update: Five days after posting this and emailing Bravo, their Flash detection is still broken, and the greeking is still visible on the non-flash site. Positively glacial.
Every now and then, something just warms your heart. Recently, my new favorite person, Simon, let me know that Ant Farm had been mentioned in ComputerSweden. He was kind enough to send me an image of the article, along with the translation:
Heading: Waiter, there is a fly in my computer
Little did Matt Thomas suspect when [...]
Just sending this out as a warning to anyone who considers signing up for Vonage. I’ve had the service since August and honestly, it was pretty good. Over the last month or so, however, the quality has been degrading considerably and so I attempted on several occasions to contact customer support.
That didn’t go well. [...]
