Man, I don’t know if I cut out caffeine from my diet or what, but this week’s Fresh Ubuntu recording session was pathetic. I was totally off my game. Let’s hope that Harlem’s miracle editing can fix things up. Go Harlem! It’s all you!

Sugar-free for a Month. Sick for Half a Month
30 days ago (wow, time flies) I stopped adding sugar to my beverages. Within a couple of days I noticed how sweet everything I usually drank was. So, armed with this newfound knowledge, I started to buy no-sugar-added drinks or “lightly sweetened” teas. To my surprise, they were quite palatable!
So now I am thinking I want to add a little sweetness back into my drinks, but intelligently, so as to avoid turning everything I drink into some calorie-laden syrup.
Fresh Ubuntu's Newest Co-Host (that would be me)
I just wrapped up recording my first appearance as co-host of the Fresh Ubuntu podcast. Check it out!
Harlem Quijano, the host and creator of the podcast, and I have been corresponding for over a year, since his first episode, and when he decided it was time for a change, he chose to bring me on board to liven things up. Hopefully I can do that without turning off any of our listeners. 😉
