LLU’s Lifestyle 101: Day 2 – Adventures with food
Today I undertook day two of the Lifestyle 101 course at LLU. You can find my Day 1 experience here. A few usability notes at this point. 1 – I’ve been playing with the little application that tracks calorie intake, and I find it’s not the most intuitive thing in existence. I may be writing […]
Read More ...Playing around with Leanness Lifestyle University – Day 1
After seeing Rachel Carpenter’s impressive and inspiring success in regaining a healthy lifestyle, and because I’m just naturally interested in the science and psychology of weight loss in general, I decided to spend some time at Leanness Lifestyle University (LLU). For those unaware, LLU is a program founded by David Greenwalt, and focuses on helping […]

Lisa and I were driving home from DetCon1 last evening, zipping along I-69 on cruise control at my usual 72 or 73 MPH in the right lane. The radio was playing, and we were alternating between talking and just driving. We had considerable distance between us and the cars ahead, and we had two cars […]
Read More ...DetCon schedule…finally, eh?
Just a note for all the folks out there who will be in Detroit for this week’s DetCon, I’ll be doing a couple pieces of programming–both Friday. If you’re in the zone, stop in and say hey! Friday – 10:00AM: Reading (with Stephen Leigh) I’m still in the mode of deciding exactly what I’m going […]
Read More ...So close
Apropos of nothing, I suppose, but one would have thought that becoming a full-time would have resulted in me spending more time here, but it’s not really working out that way. Not yet, anyway. # I’m getting antsy (in a good way) about my Glamour of the God-touched serial. I’ve been reading the episodes aloud […]
Read More ...Negativity, and why we’re so bad at dealing with rejection?
This isn’t really anything you don’t already know, but I think it’s one of those things that pretty much everyone can bear to think about again and again … because, well, we forget, eh?
Read More ...I’m probably going to get killed for this [grin] … but …
Here are two remarkably great videos that describe the fundamental weight control argument that rages through the country/world, and more important to me, my household. Lisa and I can talk about, understand each other and agree on almost everything except this. We get into these discussions and next thing I know we’re actually kinda arguing. […]
Read More ...Progress and good news!
It’s been a bit since I dropped a note here. Sorry for that, but it’s been quite busy. I’m back doing the final polish on the 8-episode fantasy piece, which is now absolutely complete through episode three. The work here goes pretty quickly, but there’s a lot of it, and I’m creating an entire character […]
