While fiddling around on YouTube the other day I came upon this set of videos. Awesome discussion, especially about education and learning styles, and especially given the date of the conversation. Everyone is different. Love it.

Garfunkel Showing his Artsy Roots
While reading the forums and listening to Radio Paradise (independently programmed radio–highly recommended) some time back, both Lisa and I came to this outstanding history and discussion about the making of Simon and Garfunkel’s “Bridge over Troubled Water.” I love the whole technical discussion about how they got the sounds they were looking for–not specifically […]
Read More ...Calories In – Calories Out: A Fallacy?
Lisa sent me an article some time back that was about calories and weight loss and diet (meaning the selection of food types rather than the reduction of food quantity eaten). The two of us talk about this topic fairly often these days because we’re nearing the two-year mark of a process that’s seen us […]

Lisa and I had particular interest in the situation in Japan, seeing as Brigid was scheduled to attend school there starting this April. Purdue put that kibosh on that, to much gnashing of teeth from Brigid’s side of things. But now that’s changed, and our little girl is planning to spend the next three and […]

I admit I’m not sure what I should feel about it all. I want to be happy that Osama bin Laden is dead, and I am. It is a strange thing, however, to be happy that someone is dead. It gives me, perhaps, a very small sense of what it felt like to be alive […]

Since it’s in the title, I should probably lead with it … so here it is: Britney Spears does SF? # Since I’m in the media frame of mind, I’m currently reading a pair of books–Stephen King’s Full Dark, No Stars, and a “Best of” collection of Edmund Hamilton’s work. King’s work is great, of […]
Read More ...Hacker’s Diet Follow-up
So I’m in the office today and my co-worker Jalene does her cruise-director best and points me to a tray of small brownies on the counter by the printer. I grab one, and I say “Okay, now I’ve got to make sure I go to the gym.” She and Tonya laughed. But I meant it. […]
Read More ...The Hacker’s Diet
Lisa and I have been actively working on our health the past year (or a little more). We’ve improved our basic diet, and we’re getting considerably more exercise than we were. Of course, this last bit goes without saying because prior to this decision our exercise consisted of getting up and going to the refrigerator […]
