I’ve been working on plans on getting back into good physical condition, including a regiment of running, strength training without a gym, and swimming (later). For phase one of my body optimization schedule (with apologies to Tantek), my goal is to get back into the condition required to pass the Army Physical Fitness Test. That’s […]
I’m in the process of trying to wrestle myself back from the edge of obesity. I’ve been primarily sedentary for the better part of a year and I’ve gained quite a bit of weight.

The interface is beautiful and the content is fast.Local & Maps: The “Find Nearby”, […]
Okay, I understand if your company doesn’t have a big budget. These things happen. But, there’s such a thing as idiocy. Look what I found on craigslist! $12/hr + benefits. You just have to know MySQL, PHP, AJAX, LAMP/WAMP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript. They’ll smile on you even bigger if you know C++, Flash, Photoshop, PHP-PDF […]
