P90X: What, When, Why
I've started P90X. Actually, I have just finished week 3. So the when was 3 weeks ago. I'm determined to catch up on journal entries quickly though. Yeah right, like so many blogs before, this will probably be the last and only post. A token attempt any way.
The what: well, what exactly is P90X? Like a lot of people I didn't exactly know much except ( Read more... ) -
Are You Ready for Some Football?
Can't believe it's almost football season again. Time for a new fantasy football season. Just a quick post to say I think it should be a very interesting year. There is so much up in the air. Just look at teams like Green Bay, or the two teams here in the bay area. A lot of teams are in transition, a lot of players have moved around, and even some ( Read more... ) -
It's Wacky Video Time!
Yeah I know. You've already seen these, don't want to be bothered with such piffle, or just watched them and slapped your forehead. Sorry about that. I subscribe to BestOfYouTube podcast, and found these to be particularly good.
If I faced this walrus in a dance-off I would go down. Hard. He has more rhythm in his whiskers that I have in my entire ( Read more... ) -
Getting Lucky with Cheap Wine
The last two bottles I had were good, and they were under $10 to boot. First up is Santa Rita 2006 estate grown cabernet sauvignon, from the famous Maipo Valley.

Favorite Things: The Forgotten Smoothie
The recent heat wave reminded me of one of my favorite things, the Orange Berry Blitz smoothie at Jamba Juice. If you love blueberries like I do, but find the Banana Berry a little too sugary like I do, ask for the OBB next time you're there. It's not on the menu any more, but I've yet to be to a store, in the Bay Area at least, that won't make it ( Read more... ) -
My firstborn may have inherited some geek genes
Deena just did a walk-a-thon at school. We were very proud of her. As she did in her triathlon, she really tried extremely hard. With a relatively short amount of time left to get to 20 laps, the number needed to win the grand prize, she ran the last 5 laps continuously. Sadly, they ran out of the "grand prize", and she was extremely disappointed ( Read more... ) -
Picasa, Flickr, or ?
Maybe someone could offer some advice to me. I am going to start uploading photos. I've been using Picasa for organization, and I am happy with it. My TV provider, ATT UVerse, automatically links channel 91 on my TV to my Flickr account, which is sort of nice. So I tried out Flickr very briefly. My first impression using their uploader was, "I have ( Read more... ) -
A few of my favorite things
Speedo Vanquisher swim goggles. When I got into swimming I assumed goggles just sucked. I got a few different brands, including Speedo, of the $10 variety, with the flaps that go around eyes.
For only a few dollars more you can get the Vanquishers. The difference was immediately noticeable. Totally tight seal. But the best part is that I've been ( Read more... ) -
Big Time Bragging
My niece Amy Smedira just toasted the competition (need to click on GU15) in the U.S. Open Junior Squash Championships!
I'll see if I can permission to post a photo up soon. -
Jonah Goldberg, Laughingstock
Quick Version
Watch Jonah in his own words display a remarkable ignorance of history and simple political concepts. Note the Heritage Foundation background. Presumably that is why no one is laughing.
Slightly Longer Version
When Jonah floats some of his "seriously intellectual" ideas in front of the Daily Show audience, he is laughed at. TDS is of ( Read more... )
