It’s pink! I must be pregnant…

June 6, 2003

My ketosis test strips have been bright pink off the chart every morning this week…I must be doing something right. Only 13 more pounds to go before I’ve officially dropped a hundred pounds from my highest weight!

Managing multiple iPhoto libraries…

June 4, 2003

A major drawback with iPhoto has always been the fact that it can’t gracefully handle multiple libraries. Albeit a hack, iPhoto 2 fixes this limitation by adding limited support for multiple libraries. Although there is no menu option for switching between libraries there are a few different techniques that can be used. The best method […]

Now tracking weight, body fat and exercise rung…

June 2, 2003

In addition to my weight I’m now tracking my body fat percentage and exercise rung. This will hopefully let me know how I’m doing in the long term and whether I should increase my visits to the gym.

Oh my God…Melody’s gonna cry!

What’s the matter Snugglebunny? Finally realizing the world isn’t all sunshine and rainbows? Not everyone gets a happy ending, Muffin. And you wanna know what else? Puppies…turn into dogs…who get old…and die!

The BF-662-S showed up yesterday!

May 29, 2003

The Tanita BF-662-S showed up yesterday and, I have to say, it’s quite a piece of machinery! Setup and configuration for entering my and Kelly’s information into memory took all of five minutes. Unfortunately, the Tanita is much more accurate than the old scale so I’ve “gained” five pounds. Oh well…

Kelly will be trying Atkins…

Kelly has decided to give Atkins induction a try since Val, one of her friends, has started induction as well. We’ll see…right now the house has way too many junk foods and leftovers from previous parties and get togethers. I’ll need to bag everything up when I get home this evening and put all illegal […]

Sweet…HEPA replacements…

May 26, 2003

Amazing…Amazon actually has Honeywell 22500 replacement HEPA filters. I haven’t been able to find the filters locally and my current filter has been limping along for over three years now. Right now it’s quite…yucky. Hopefully a new filter will help keep the cat hair and dust down in my computer room. While doing some reading […]

  • The Angels’ Share: Single Malt and Singletrack
    Back in November an amazing video popped up in my Feedly called Angel’s Share: Exploring Scotland’s Singletrack and Single Malt. I’m a big fan of mountain biking. I’m a big fan of Scotch. And I’m a fan of Ben Howard whom I’ve heard a few times and was chosen for the soundtrack. But a couple […]

  • Trunkmonkey Racing backs Mac Ride!
    Trunkmonkey Racing backs Mac Ride! This is insanely cool. What happens when you cross a kid named Mac and a Mountain Bike? You get Mac Ride, a Kickstarter out of Vancouver, eh!

  • When counting calories watch out for reporting loops in your Apps.
    Weight loss isn’t magic. Simply eat less calories than you burn. Easy peasy. That is unless you inadvertently sabotage yourself by getting too geeky and try to use too many nutrition and weight loss Apps to track and manage your progress. I found out the hard way that it’s best to Keep it Simple (Stupid). […]
  • Trunkmonkey Racing Ghetto Wheel Truing using Zipties
    After 10 miles of rough trail riding on the old 1992 GT Karakoram Full Rigid my slightly out-of-true wheel became a significantly out-of-true wheel with a bent spoke; it was rubbing brake pad in four locations. I guess my fat ass bombing a downhill full of fist-sized loose rocks and small boulders was a bad […]
  • Airborne Bicycles gives a sneak peak of their new Guardian 29
    It’s just a single photo, but Airborne Bicycles has posted a sneak peak photo of their new Guardian 29 on their Facebook page. Since the caption reads “A sneak-peak of one of the new models coming soon~!” there are probably more fresh designs in the pipeline! Speculation is running wild, but so far the consensus […]
  • Trunkmonkey Racing and Airborne Bicycles?
    In my search for new Mountain Bikes I ran across Airborne Bicycles, a company that has an interesting offering of value-packed bikes (follow them on Facebook and Twitter). I’m intrigued by their product lineup, reviews, and press coverage so I applied to become a member of their Flight Crew. Hopefully the next time you see […]
