01/01/2010: 337 pounds 01/30/2010: 322 pounds That’s 15 pounds lost in 30 days.  I could downplay it, but I can’t and won’t do myself that disservice. I earned every single one of those 15 pounds. Sweat equity, as they call it in the housing market. From gutting out the 10k in Lowell, to the hard [...]

As has been previously noted, I’m a big nerd. I geek out at the prospect of new gear coming out, but especially when it’s gear I get to use. So you can imagine my disappointment when my first set of h2oAudio  waterproof headphones turned out to be defective. Thankfully, their customer service was terrific, and [...]

Today, Apple Computer will announce it’s rumored new tablet device. It’s an announcement the entire tech world is waiting for on the edge of their seat. Usually, a company coming out with a new product in an existing market isn’t such a big deal. But Apple is well known for it’s ability to revolutionize a [...]

Now that my anger at people taking advantage of clydesdales and athenas has been sated with a late night post, I can get around to a bit of housekeeping: h2oAudio was kind enough to renew my sponsorship for the 2010 season.

The biggest part of portion control is knowing whats in your food, or at least the caloric, fat, and dietary fiber content in order to figure out the Weight Watchers points. That’s why it’s easier when counting points to eat at a major chain than a mom n’ pop restaurant because most major chains publish [...]

It’s commonplace these days that as consumers we hear tons all the negatives that go on with products, whether they be technological/mechanical defects (this Mavic wheel exploding during a criterium because of design defects) or severe issues with a management process (The Tonight Show dumping CoCo). So I wanted to take a moment to point [...]

“Could’ve been the whiskey, might have been the gin.Could’ve been the three or four six packs I don’t knowbut look at the mess I’m in.” – The Rovers Ok, so there was no whiskey or gin, and the six packs were actually just 2 Bud Light Golden Wheat, but I still feel like crap today. Rach [...]

Foreword: This may seem off topic at first, gentle reader, but please do follow it through to completion. In the current day, tattoos are regarded as little more than personal choice by most parts of society. They are no longer the exploits of drunken sailors, motorcycle gang members, or society’s less desirables. In fact many [...]

Evidently, the blog felt left out. Since I am becoming Timberman, it wanted to as well. So, now the blog is becomingtimberman.com I feel like blogging about blogging seems self-important and makes more out of something that a lot of people are doing, and that I’m really doing for myself, though I am thrilled that [...]
