The Biggest Loser

I lost 2 lbs since last weigh-in two weeks ago. That’s 13 lbs since starting the contest. One of the other developers at work said that she could see the difference. She might be the only one. I've been a little more active than before, but I… more »

Stuff and such

Last Sunday, we went to Molly's aunt and uncle's. Her aunt recently went through some surgery (again) and was looking wonderful. She's a trooper. Amazing. Also, we had a good time. Wednesday night, we went to visit Jason and Rachel after church. They… more »

Public Service Announcement: The Biggest Looser Web Sight

If you come to be without something, you lose it. If you set something free, you loose it. If you go to http://facebook.com, you visit a web site. Even though you look at your computer screen to visit it, the web site is not a "web sight". Ha… more »

Mr. Bean's Holiday

6/10 My memory might not be serving me well, but I remember Bean being funnier than this movie. There were some outright hilarious scenes, but they were too few and far between. I did enjoy the wide-shots of French landscape, though. Despi… more »

Link Blast

Who would have guessed? Crucifixion is bad for your health. Bush says he lets red phone go straight to voicemail. Black guy asks nation for change. Remember the Japanese plan to test a boomerang in space? The boomerang came back. (Nothing rep… more »

The Biggest Loser

I lost 4 lbs since last weigh-in two weeks ago. That's 11 lbs since starting the contest. On my birthday, I went about 1,000 calories over my daily target intake. I think it's okay to go over for special occasions like that, but I could have gott… more »

24

Saturday was my 24th birthday. My wife put a lot of thought into making it a pretty special day for me. It started off with one of my favorite homemade breakfasts: Bacon & Egg McGriddle and Cappuccino from McDonald's (their only good food).… more »

It's not just Bush

On the local news tonight, a man being interviewed used the phrase "he'll have some big shoes to carry." At work today, a co-worker said "maybe we can kill two stones in one shot." A couple years ago, Molly told everyone that "the quickest path b… more »

Random Urges

I occasionally get urges to do strange things just to see what would happen. Luckily(?), I manage to resist these urges or else my life would be seriously messed up. Just now, I was coming back to my desk from the bathroom. I started wondering how lo… more »

Stupid Weather

My dad's 50th birthday is this weekend. Molly and I were planning on going out to visit, but it's snowing and we are supposed to have up to 4" of accumulation by 5 o'clock. By tomorrow night, we could have over a foot of snow. In Selinsgrove, it's o… more »

Once

7/10 The only reason this movie gets a 7 is because the music is really, really good. It's like a bunch of music videos connected by a storyline that isn't very compelling and acting which isn't that great. I think the story adds a bit of… more »

Vantage Point

9/10 Intense action film with an interesting way of telling a good story. The president is shot at a global war on terror summit in France. The events leading up to the shooting, during the attack, and what follows is told by viewing five… more »
