1.21 Gigawatts?!

Interwebs, I'm sorry. It's been awhile. It's been six months since my last entry, which is downright irresponsible. In the months since, many changes have taken place. First, I have a new phone, which helps keep track of my crazy, crazy life. Now, fingers crossed, I can stay regular on my posts.

I've also done some soul searching in the time passed. My last post said I was looking for weight loss buddies; boy was I in for a surprise. I guess the US is too overweight to care anymore, so I'm on my own. I've since lost around 50 pounds the Rocky IV way. Although it would have been nice, there's no high tech solution for this nerd.

Along with my commitment to a lifestyle change, I'll commit to posting more often. If no one ever reads this, I'll at least come complain to the internet. Maybe some good will come out of it.

LFG -> Weight loss buddies.

A New Years Resolutions that my wife and I have set for this year is one that's heard all too common. Lose weight and get into shape.
After looking at pictures of ourselves from various holiday parties, we've realized that we've fallen off the wagon. Big time. Throughout 2010, I'll be giving periodic updates on our progress as part of my blog. Hopefully it'll drag me to Nerdinity more often than I've been updating.....
Since being addicted to The Biggest Loser on NBC and finding blogs such as 344 Pounds, I can see that anything is possible if I can apply myself and nip it in the bud.

Pandora

During my daily grind of Calculus and Coding, I noticed that my 'Homework Blues' playlist was getting a little stale. Since I've heard of Pandora from just about everybody I knew, I thought I'd give it a try. You might notice the Pandora widget in the sidebar->. I've been listening for a couple hours now and it's surprisingly accurate and appropriate for my picky music tastes. The ads might be a little bit more than jarring if you're into your station, but for a free service, there are a lot less than on The Arrow. If you haven't tried it yet, just go listen for a day. You might be surprised....

SCHOOL!!

School is beginning again!
Ah school....the sights, smells, stress ulcers. It's all so fun.
This semester shouldn't be so bad though. Ethics and Values is pretty much a write-off class anyway.

Nose to the grindstone.

The Secret of Monkey Island is still a secret.

I just started playing the final chapter in the Tales of Monkey Island series from Telltale Games. It's been just about ten years since the last game, and I hope that they continue the franchise.

Adventures behind the lens

Being in a BS program, I'm required to take a couple electives now and then. This semester, I decided to burn my Fine Arts requirement with a Photography class. It was film only, so I had to go old school (analog). I used my dad's Nikon FE for all pictures shown. Here are some results->
