Blogging

Hello 2009

Resolutions:
  1. Blog More. That means blogging more here, reviving MacSlash, and taking a more active part in WeLoveDC. And, it means blogging as part of resolution 3, below.
  2. Lose 100 Pounds. 2008 was not such a great year in terms of my overall health. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea to start the year, I had surgery in the spring, and then found out I was diabetic in December. I did lose about 45 pounds during 2008, but want to more than double that in 2009. It will be a lot of work, but I think it's doable.
  3. Finish all the planning and prep work to unleash my secret project on the world. You'll be hearing more about this soon. It's not quite ready to unveil, but soon it will be! I'm pretty excited about it.
So there you have it. Let's see how much of it actually happens. :)

Dear Blog

I'm sorry I've been neglecting you. I've been pretty busy over here. I just thought we needed a break and maybe to see other blogs. I know you'll understand. I always come back to you. Love, Ben

Draft Obama dot Org

I've spent the last few days installing and configuring a new site, DraftObama.org, to serve as a grassroots gathering spot for the body politic to rally around a 2008 presidential run by Illinois Senator Barack Obama. I announced the rough draft of the site in a diary on MyDD, hopeful that others more talented and eloquent than I will join with me and help build something larger and more exciting than what you'll find now.

Lazypedia

My friend and co-worker Will has a new site/blog/experimental aircraft/infomercial called Lazypedia, where you can find his own musings as well as a compendium of links to help us all in our quest for laziness. Or, as The Right Reverend J.R. "Bob" Dobbs would call it, Slack. (That reference is for you, brother.)

So, go visit. Already on the site are some articles about the fine art of pizza making, as well as some correspondence with a silverware maker. (No, seriously. It's more interesting than it sounds.)

See ya' Gawker

That's it. Every Gawker media site that I had in my RSS subscription has been deleted. Wonkette? Gone. Gizmodo? Gone. Gawker? Gone. ValleyWag? Gone. Sploid? Gone.

Shiftingrealities I realise that I'm posting a lot about Philip K.
