Goofin around with Swivel

1082547

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.

Is that a Walther PPK in your trousers, or are you happy to see me?


Here's a little bit of humorous (yes I spelled that right) reality for those of us who have delusions of looking good in the little blue swim trunks that Daniel Craig sported in Casino Royale. Gretchen - your fantasy is safe with me.

Time to lose some weight!

So I got hit with the double whammy. First, my loverly wife mentioned that she, "missed my jawline". Of course, so do I, so this was just a confirmation of what I've been feeling for a while. Secondly, while applying for some more life insurance, the company came back and told me that I didn't qualify for the "preferred" rate because I was overweight.

...so, I'll be updating this blog with my progress on my goals. I started last week at about 233 lbs (based on the scale at the gym). Today, I weigh 229, so I'm on my way.
