Merry Christmas!

The best of wishes to you and yours this holiday season. We are truly fortunate.

Yule Log EULA

Please accept, with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes
for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress,
non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice
holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the
religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your
choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or
traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or
secular traditions at all.

I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically
uncomplicated recognition of the generally accepted calendar year 2007,
but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures
whose contributions to society have helped make America great.
Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country,
nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. And without regard
to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith
or sexual preference of the wishes.

By accepting these greetings you are accepting these terms.
This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely
transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no
promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for
herself or himself or others, and is void where prohibited by law and
is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. This wish is
warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good
tidings for a period of one year or until the issuance of a subsequent
holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to
replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole
discretion of the wisher.

Thanks to Bob Reynolds

Single Track...of Death!

I used to like going mountain biking in high-school. I haven't tried since then, but this contraption looks like it's something that I could get into. Mainly because it looks pretty badass.

Stop! Or I'll...uh...OK...huh?

Back in college, Gretchen and I were perusing the aisles at a grocery store and came upon this package of cheapo "Police Force" "play equipment". We laughed so hard at the (apparently very stoned) cop. I regret not buying it on the spot and have always kept an eye out every time I'm in a grocery store. Looks like someone else found this funny too. I guess I'll just have to settle for a picture, for now.

Retreat too defeatist? Plan with Ho‘olālā

I'm going to plan to use this format for our next corporate retreat planning session: Lifehack.org: Don’t just ‘Retreat,’ PLAN

Goofin around with Swivel

I have been looking for a simple, editable way to present graphs of data online. I happened to come across Swivel.com. It is like YouTube or Flicker, in that you can see everyone's data. My graph is pretty simple, but you can get fairly complicated if you like.

Fishing looks like fun....NOT!

Just another 12 lbs to go!

I weighed in at 227 lbs at the gym today. While I won't be at 215 for Hawaii, I'm getting there.

THIS is why we don't have a console!
