Back in 2000 I played bass in an OC band called Sonic. Thereafter known to me as “back when I rocked.” Ha!
Went on a bike ride today with a former bandmate from Sonic I hadn’t seen in years. We had a great time. Afterwards I started sifting through some old pics.
These are me. Eyeliner and leather, bitches… Fun times.
See em all over on Flickr.
Seems there are a bunch of great fitness articles there. Here are a couple I stumbled on thanks to 24 Hr Fitness.
It’s almost 1pm and I thought I’d be to the gym by now. Kinda waiting for people to wake up around here. Killing time playing around with my site, enjoying the rare cup of coffee, and less rare round of Halo.
If it’s around February 2010, and the site doesn’t look like this, hit your Refresh button.
Visible changes are minor; enhancing readability, hopefully.
Behind the scenes it was a code refactoring project.
All painless with CSSEdit, TextMate, Firebug, and Cyberduck.
I’ve been blogging a lot about my health lately. First weight loss, now weight lifting. The blog started out about web design stuff, and that’s what I still do for a living. Seems just my hobbies have shifted. Used to do web work non-stop. Now I’m doing a healthy mix up.
That doesn’t change the fact that I relax by twiddling with web pages. It’s kind of like doing art, how I relaxed as a kid. Change little things here and there until it looks better.
Happy hobbying involves highly usable tools. CSSEdit is a rocking program for building CSS files. Without Firebug on Firefox (and Chrome, too, I see) and CSSEdit, it would less enjoyable, I’m sure.
The rare cup of coffee.
Still playing Halo. Yep. It’s been years, I know.
Two great things: 1) good prices and 2) good advice. Found both at Nutrition Zone last night.
I was running low on protein powder and had done a little research on other proteins I might try. I thought I’d go for Muscle Milk or something more muscley than my basic protein powder. Found out they had that at Walmart so I went there after work.
At Walmart I was checking out the muscle powders, reading the usage instructions and whatnot, when a stranger comes up to me a says “don’t do it”. I smile and he says, “Don’t do it. That stuff tastes bad. Go to Nutrizone by 7-Eleven and get the more natural stuff that tastes way better.”
Of course it was unusual that a stranger would come up to me and do that. I was inclined to take it as I didn’t want to offend him by seeing me leaving the store with the “bad tasting” stuff. So I departed empty handed for the place by the 7-Eleven.
Found it. It was packed with different protein powders. Jackpot.
The guy at the register greeted me. I told him I needed advice. He was very proficient in nutrition practice and muscle building. He even gave me a meal plan (!) and told me they were a wholesaler so the prices were cheaper than GNC or whatever retailer. Plus those places don’t have fitness experts, I’m betting.
His name is Luke. Smart guy. How rare to get good help like that these days. That’s how you get customers! I will certainly be returning there for my protein needs. And next time I see a guy at Walmart pondering the Muscle Milk, you can imagine my intention.
