Whew! I did it! Week three is DONE.
Now for another exhaustion test and the dreaded week 4, which always kicked my butt the last time(s) around.
Don't Throw That Old Coffee Away, Freeze It and Make Coffee Cubes!
Do you like iced coffee? I do. And one thing I hate is watery coffee. Here’s a great way around that. Have some extra coffee left over in the pot after you’ve had your morning fix? Don’t toss it – freeze it! Just pour it into your ice cube tray and you get coffee ice cubes! They keep more of that great coffee flavor in your iced coffee. Enjoy!
One Hundred Push Ups, Redux
After completely falling off the push ups wagon, last week, for no apparent reason, I decided to do an exhaustion test and see where I was at. I managed to bang out 50 push ups! Recall when I started last time, I only was able to manage 50.
So I resumed/restarted at Week 3, column 3, day 1, on Saturday, and continued on with day 2 today. So far, so good, and boy do my shoulders ache.
Medifast II: The Sequel
Last night I pitched the Medifast diet to my parents. They both seemed receptive. Before he can start, my father needs to review the plan with his physician (from whom we’re awaiting a call back), but my mom has already ordered her first month of food. So now I get to be the diet coach. This should be fun.

It was a solid week of Aikido training, several hours a day, with some of the world’s highest-ranked Aikido instructors, in some of the most beautiful territory I’ve ever been. Needless to say, I had a great time. Continue reading “Aikido Summer Camp in the Rockies 2009”
Adventures in Sales
It’s no secret (is it?) that sales guys and IT guys often don’t get along (see this link or maybe this one for classic examples). Today, I add my own recent experience in dealing with sales. Continue reading “Adventures in Sales”
Book Review: Million Dollar Consulting
I recently finished reading Million Dollar Consulting: The Professional’s Guide to Growing a Practice by Alan Weiss. Overall, I found the book to be very useful, and I recommend it to other people in the consulting or contracting fields. Continue reading “Book Review: Million Dollar Consulting”
Gadget Review: Furminator
I just received my Furminator, which I bought from Amazon last week. I bought it because I have a cat, Mu, who has a nasty habit of puking all over the place. Normally, this seems to be triggered by my leaving her alone too long, but it recently occurred to me that she might just have excessive hair, and that could be a cause.
