I'm a little disappointed that I didn't get to leave sooner, but at least I'm leaving a half hour early. Yay for the long weekend! (Thu 3 July 2008, 4:12PM)

Ran into Schutze (a coworker from college) in downtown Toledo. He greeted me with a salute and a hearty "Arr!" (RCC alumni, you'll get it.) (Thu 3 July 2008, 12:57PM)

Getting ideas for blog redesign. This is dangerous; I haven't even finished moving it to its new webhost yet. (Thu 3 July 2008, 12:12PM)

It's the day before a holiday; I wonder if we'll get to leave work the usual hour or so early? 3:30, here I come... (Thu 3 July 2008, 8:48AM)

Seen on the lid of someone's coffee creamer in the break room: his last name, then, "Yes, I mind." (Thu 3 July 2008, 8:36AM)

Autoposting my tweets to my blog helps me blog more frequently, just so I don't have a whole page of one-liners next to twitter icons. (Wed 2 July 2008, 10:51PM)

Mini Weight Loss Goals Work.
Tue 1 July 2008, 8:20PM | posted in weight loss

I announced in my Weight Watchers meeting a few weeks ago that the way I was going to Treat Myself Well (the theme of the meeting) would be to reward myself with a haircut after I lost four pounds. Today, I weighed in precisely four pounds lighter than I was that day.
I've been looking forward to this for weeks; even though I only declared my intention publicly a few weeks ago, I'd been wanting to cut my hair since before we went on vacation in May. Although it's not the perfect cut, I do like having thirteen inches off of my hair — and, as always, I like the thought that my hair will go to help a cancer-stricken kid have a head of hair again.

Met my weight-loss mini-goal! w00t! My reward to myself: a major haircut (and donation to Locks of Love). (Tue 1 July 2008, 12:50PM)

Ate a very light breakfast and am going easy on the water before my noon weigh-in. If I reach my mini-goal today, I can get my hair cut. (Tue 1 July 2008, 10:49AM)

CNN: "Can Obama bring God back into the Democratic Party?" I'm happy with it the way it is, thank you very much. Leave your God out of it. (Tue 1 July 2008, 9:38AM)

Got an e-mail this morning asking who made the logo for my now-long-gone podcast. Not sure I want to take on a logo freelance gig right now. (Tue 1 July 2008, 9:19AM)
