My Amazon Wish List

What with Christmas coming, and with my unquenchable desire for books and knowledge, I thought it would be appropriate to mention that I have an Amazon wish list. You can find my wish list here. There's no pressure, of course, but if you are feeling charitable and aren&

Hey, Did I Mention The Weight Loss?

So I weighed in again last Wednesday and I’ve lost another 4.2 pounds. That puts my current weight at 186.8 pounds and a total loss of 44 pounds. So yeah, the diet’s been a great success and I’m at a point where I think I

Firefox 1.0

Firefox 1.0 is finally out and I strongly suggest you get yourself a copy. It's probably the best browser available for windows at the moment. I use it at work (although I probably shouldn't) to see how my sites are supposed to look; then I

Well, I didn't run for an hour and a half like I planned. I had a wicked headache on Wednesday and I just didn't have the energy, so I see what progress I can make tomorrow.

The People Who Cannot Count

I spotted this interesting article in the Globe and Mail (you may have to register to view it) about a tribe in the Amazon who have no concept of numbering or counting. So, essentially, they can't count or perform simple arithmetic nor can they learn how. This tribe,

More About Weight Loss

I've written about weight loss before. Or, more accurately, I've written about my attempts at weight loss before. Back then my plan was to run my ass off. It really didn't get me anywhere. So, about ten weeks ago I joined the Weight Watchers
