OK, since my last post my blog got hit by a Wordpress vulnerability and got covered with spam.  It’s now moved to a new server, upgraded to the current version, and the crap is all cleaned out.  What a pain.  Time to start posting again!   S

Whether you consider global warming to be a scare, or an impending disaster, it’s an important issue in our lives. I recently came across a short presentation by a high school science teacher that shares some interesting perspective on the global warming issue from a cost/benefit perspective.

I’m asking you to watch the first minute or two of this video clip on YouTube. It’s 10 minutes long total, but all I ask is that you take a couple minutes to see if it has value to you. I think it will.

So I’ve been too large for too long. Yesterday I kicked off a life change program around food and activity and am going to create a very healthy body to carry me through the rest of my (long) life. I haven’t had any health scares yet, but it’s clear that they are coming if I don’t handle this. So this is it. I’ll be tapping into lots of resources, and making life changes in many areas.

I’ve also decided to do this publicly. I’ll probably blog about it some here, but I’m making my health/fitness journal public so I can’t hide (it’s on FitDay). You can see what I have eaten every day, my physical activity, and my weight change progress. It’s time!

Know why January 20, 2009 will be a great day?

Last year I wrote an AIM Bot that could respond to informational requests (meeebot if you want to check it out).  I just adapted some of it’s features to work with the TextMarks service.  Check it out!

Send a text from your phone to the short code 41411 with one of these words in the body:  answ (magic 8 ball), fuzzy (a compliment), insp (inspirational quote), insult (well, you know), shudi (should I?), spell (check spelling), thes (thesaurus lookup), weat (weather for a zip code), words (dictionary lookup).

Fun with a phone!  My daughters wrote the compliments, insults, and yes/no answers…
