My washing machine broke on Monday.
Suddenly, it wouldn’t start the spin cycle or drain the water from the drum. And that left my towels soaking in a pool of dirty sudsy water, which I had to bail out.
The last time the door latch broke on the washing machine, it was $200 just to get the [...]
Whoa, 180 pounds. Not good.
I’ve been back from Vancouver and Whistler for about 10 days now. I got to go skiing three of the days I was there, and I made the incorrect assumption that I was skiing so hard and burning so many calories that the food intake didn’t matter. And that the beer [...]
Went two weeks without checking in here — have to get focussed again.
Weight was 176 lbs. Good direction, and I’m doing well with not drinking cola. I had one last week and it didn’t taste very good. Still having a few beers, though.

They say you have to back up. Back up your data or you’ll regret it. Well, now I’m pretty aware of why you need the backups, because of two recent events. In the first, the backups worked; the second, they didn’t.

The good news is that I’m way down on drinking Coca-Cola. Haven’t had any for a week, and I’m not really missing it.
The bad news is that I’m way up on alcohol — we had the annual-ish boys steak night on the weekend and restraint went [...]
Well, it’s that time of year again, to think about how to make the next year even better. I’m going to post a few resolutions so that they are in a public place. I hope that will motivate me to keep to my commitments.
For the fitness aspect, I realise that I have to get into [...]
The wife and I are sitting around, trying to figure out if we can buy a new house. We’re looking to move slightly up into a different school catchment, but stay in the same overall ‘hood. So I cooked up a spreadsheet that calculates all the variables that I could think of:
What we’d sell this [...]
Just got my new MacBook Pro laptop up and running, and I’m stoked with it. I really dig working on it. I also dig Eclipse as an IDE and development platform.So, it was interesting to see these two coming together: Steve Northover has posted about how he was working at Apple to get SWT (the [...]
This is my first post to my blog. I hope there will be more to follow.
