I have been anti-Mac for a long time. It isn’t a stubborn bias, but one rooted in a set of formulated opinions. I am a flexible person and I’m willing to change my stance on things if given good reason. Apple seems to be coming closer to doing so. Read more “Must … Stay … Strong”

Getting to Know Me
I’ve been trying to pry myself bit by bit away from political writing – obviously it was at the forefront of many of our minds until a few days ago so it is understandable. But it seems to have possessed too much of my time and my thoughts and has started to keep me from pursuing my other interests or allowing myself to be the light-hearted individual I traditionally tend to be.

The Weight Is Over (sort of)
So I’ve been running/participating in a weight-loss contest for the past 10 weeks that ended yesterday. Unfortunately I ended in fifth place which has no prize attached (started the morning in third, but got knocked out by 2 surprisingly good weigh-ins after me). The good news is that I HAVE lost 15 lbs. in those 10 weeks and plan to continue the healthier habits I’ve developed as a result. It will likely be a little harder not having the contest as a motivating factor, but hopefully other factors will help support my efforts. Read more “The Weight Is Over (sort of)”
Weight For It …
I’m fat. No need to argue or reassure me otherwise – I have known that it is true and I have come to terms with it. I’m overweight (and under-tall, but there is little I can do about that part). But I am doing something about it. The trouble is that it is not an easy thing to fix. Read more “Weight For It …”
Day One
Okay, I know that blogging is not a new phenomenon. And I’m not exactly new to the internet – I was in chat rooms back in the days of BBS and TELNET (when WWW was but a twinkle in some CS Engineer’s eye); I was setting up LANs in my father-in-law’s office as a summer project back when Microsoft’s only network-enabled OS was Windows 3.11. I’m sorry, I geeked out a little bit there. My point being that I have been immersed in the web for nearly as long as it has been around. And yet my wife managed to break into the world of blogging before I got around to it (which you can feel free to check out). But I digress.
I declare this blog, much like my mind (and now my mouth), opened. If you like movies, TV, music, comics, the Internet, technology, video games (I think that covers most people somehow), then you will find my musings on such topics here. Feel free to comment, supplement, complain, or tell me I’m full of crap. I have a fount of useless knowledge at my disposal that I’m not afraid to use and what I don’t know, I will likely make up and try to make it sound believeable. Feel free to call me on that, too. But let the games begin!
