Day 1 of 90

March 22nd, 2009

I am currently 26 days and 11 hours away from the Red Bluff Ramble Sprint, but more importantly, I’m calling today day 1 of a 90 day fitness experiment.  I don’t consider myself to be out of shape, but for the next 90 days I’m going to push my mind and body to the limits I’ve always said I’d get around to.  I’ll be using this space to track my progress, strategy, tools, and tears.  Today’s workout courtesy of Crossfit LA.  The crying begins now.

The unboxing of my netbook got WAY out of hand. Interns are creepy.

Complimented and Insulted on TWIF

February 12th, 2009

Sarah Lane and Martin Sargent are doing “This Week in Fun” over at Leo Laporte’s TWIT network. I chimed in on the chatroom which triggered what began as a very lovely, flattering shoutout… until it spiraled into tragedy. Thanks Sarah and Marty. Thanks a lot.

Walking Dead Volume 1: My Intro to Graphic Novels

February 10th, 2009

The Walking Dead, Vol. 1: Days Gone Bye The Walking Dead, Vol. 1: Days Gone Bye by Robert Kirkman



My review


rating: 3 of 5 stars
My first graphic novel. Extremely well written and the art is beautiful. It’s tough moving on to the 9 frame, less detail oriented drawing format of The Watchmen after reading The Walking Dead. So far there is nothing mind blowing about the series. The setup is formulaic, but entertaining and earnest. Volume 2, however, is looking very promising.

I promise never to knock comic books ever again.

Mark, my coworker, had a dream that his work desk had been equipped with an apple 2e and other “grade school” hardware. We here at Revision3 like to see dreams come true. So here is Mark’s dream desk. (if You’re on a mac, the embedded video below will not work, try this link)
