  • OPPW: Week Three – 298.0lbs

    So while I’m sitting here drinking some Sprite and enjoying a slice of pizza, I’m still pretty happy with how my week went. I ended up getting a fair bit of exercise and sun, eating pretty decently, and getting back on track for drinking low or zero calorie drinks. I need to work on increasing Read more

  • Tiny Homes Revisited

    So, I’ve still been keeping track of the Tiny Homes movement, but as I’m sure you are all well aware, I haven’t made the leap yet. (my apartment is just too cheap) As I’ve been browsing the web, I’ve been thinking about things more, adding more details, saving images, documents, and whatever else I can Read more

  • Hawx 2 Co-op Fail

  • 1000 Islands Hydroplane Regatta: Saturday Experience

    So after arriving at ten in the morning, I found a spot to sit on one of the benches overlooking the water. As the winds continually changed speed and direction, the races were put on hold. I spent the time talking to the people around me, including some of the race organizers. Unfortunately, there is Read more

  • 1000 Islands Regatta Pre-start

    So while I’m waiting for the gates to open, the weather is ominous. People are still shopping at the nearby market but half of the usual vendors are missing. The clouds could open any minute putting a damper on the day. Despite how ready I am for rain, my camera can’t stand the weather and Read more

  • Team Fortress 2: Free to Play

    First off, they finally released the Meet the Medic video I’ve been waiting over a year for. Secondly, Team Fortress 2 is now 100% free to play. They have all kinds of micro-transaction goodies, but I feel like they actually decrease the potential enjoyment of the game. I almost wish I, as a paid purchase Read more

  • WordPress.org to WordPress.com?

    I’m considering moving all my sites from WordPress.org software, hosted on various servers to WordPress.com’s hosted solution. The reason behind this is that I don’t have the time or the energy to properly maintain WordPress installations currently, and as easy as they’ve made it, with between half a dozen to a dozen blogs, I just Read more

  • OPPW: Week Two – 301.2lbs

    So this week, I went in the wrong direction. Despite being sick for two days, and eating nothing but saltines, rice and ginger ale for two days, I still managed to gain weight. I guess it doesn’t help that all I did for those two days was lie in bed, for the most part. Even Read more

  • Sicker Than a Dog

    So yeah, Tuesday evening through Wednesday morning, I was hugging the porcelain throne. Even today, my stomach still feels twitchy, and I was really hoping to feel back to normal by now. I was pretty close to giving up and going to the hospital in hopes of more help than I could give myself at Read more
