Time, Timely Content, and Timely Spam
One commenter on my post last Friday suggested that I may not have been too busy to be writing a blog. I have been editing at Wikipedia, but that’s just plain fun. Not the writing part, but watching people get worked up over minor things. And trying to figure out the Wiki-way, even though it’s clear the Wiki-way doesn’t work for somethings. Fun all around.
Anyway, the main reason I haven’t been blogging is because I’ve been trying to lose weight. Sometime last year I tipped the scales at almost 200 pounds {{convert|200|lbs|kg}} at 6 feet {{covert|6|ft|m}} tall (too bad those WP templates don’t work on this blog). Just your typical lazy, fat American. Or simply American to non-Americans. This morning, I was 160 lbs. Woot. And without a gym membership too. My routine consists of running, push ups, sit ups, and pull ups. Notice that they’re all free… because I’m a cheap bastard.
And speaking of timely, I just got this email.
Dear Professor [redacted]
Short summer sessions and the economy both point toward the use of custom course materials as opposed to textbooks…
Darned spammers got my title wrong (not that I’m complaining a whole lot though), but I am teaching 2 intro classes this semester and haven’t decided on a textbook yet. Maybe I’ll try them out…
