High Fructose Goo
With a constant desire to be healthy I’ve become more interested in different ways of not necessarily losing weight but becoming healthier all around. My “dieting” history has been varied, I’ve tried the “only eat lunch diet”, the “only eat dinner diet”, Atkins (consuming astounding amounts of bacon), and Body for Life (which actually worked [...]
Playing with the theme
I’ve slowly started poking through the theme for my blog, I’ve gotten bored of the look of the place. I’m going to be adding new items I think folks will find useful, and that I’ll find useful. Please excuse the dust and noise from the ongoing construction.
I will survive (Jesus Version)
This is tremendously hilarious to me for some reason, on so many different levels. Link directly to the video on YouTube.

Alexa kinda blows now….
So I’m a whore for learning about what kind of ranking my empire of websites rank, so I’ve been using Alexa for quite some time to learn exactly that. Recently this cute little image started showing up on Alexa’s web search page.
Giving us a new era of a half-way decent product merged with a crappy [...]
Infant mortality
From CBS/AP:
America may be the world’s superpower, but its survival rate for newborn babies ranks near the bottom among developed nations.
Among 33 industrialized nations examined in a new report, the United States tied with Hungary, Malta, Poland and Slovakia with a death rate of nearly 5 per 1,000 babies. Only Latvia had higher mortality figures, [...]
MySpace and music videos
One of the things that impressed me initially with MySpace is the music player “widget” they’ve got all over the site. The player’s using Flash to do it’s magic, so it works on my machine (a Mac), my wife’s machine, nearly everyone’s machine. So I nearly fell over in shock when I clicked to watch [...]

Casino Royale teaser
I’m pretty impressed by this, it doesn’t show an awful lot but I might actually have to go out and see Casino Royale. Daniel Craig looks like he might pull it off.
Link on YouTube if the video doesn’t work embedded.
Kevin Smith and Superman Lives
Kevin Smith talks about his involvement in “Superman Lives” the dead Superman project with Tim Burton and Nicolas Cage originally attached. I love this sort of thing because it shows a bit of how Hollywood thinks and how it treats comic book properties.
The direct link to the video on YouTube if it doesn’t work in [...]
Hey I’m on Amazon!
I guess this means I’m on my way to being a full fledged writer.
Sphere launches
The fine folks at Vallywag blogged this morning about the official launch (beta?) of blog search engine Sphere. First off I’ll disclose that I’ve got my own blog search engine Blog Buzz Machine, so I usually go into checking out other blog search engines with an air of snottiness, even though they most likely have [...]
