I'm really liking the iPhoto Faces feature. The accuracy is amazing, almost makes the Hollywood plots feasible. Having those tags carry over to Facebook is a huge bonus. If you don't have iPhoto '09 you should get it. If you don't have a Mac you should get one.

Did you know that bookmarks in your "Bookmarks Bar" can be executed via a keyboard shortcut?

cmd+1 will execute the first bookmark
cmd+2 will execute the second bookmark
cmd+3 will execute the third bookmark
etc...

This does not apply to bookmark folders. I haven't verified, but I believe it only goes from 1-9.

It's been a year and I'm still going to the gym 4 days a week. The weight loss has stabilized, but I feel I'm building muscle and maintaining my weight. I'm a little afraid that if I stop, it'll go downhill very fast.

I started a weight loss routine back in January to get back in shape and lose weight. Most of the impetus was due to the fact that my Term Life Insurance was twice what it should be. That's crazy! Since the company I work for, Shopzilla, Inc., was paying for my gym membership, I thought I'd take advantage of it. After the first 3 months, I lost about 10lbs. It stayed about that for the next 2 months. I then started kick-boxing and lost another 11lbs in the last 2 months. Kick-boxing really helped a lot with increasing cardio and strength training.

Changing your diet helps even more.

Now I just need to figure out how to lose 110lbs of wife.

Hell on Earth!

Thanks everyone for coming out to Bree's 1st Birthday Party. We had a lot of fun. I got a bit over-cooked, but at least most of the food turned out OK. We hope everyone had a great time swimming and eating.

Thanks for all the gifts.

The Free Software Foundation posted their 5 reasons for not buying an iPhone, via Daring Fireball. This is a bit ridiculous. Every Verizon phone operates pretty much the same way.

1. iPhone completely blocks free software. Developers must pay a tax to Apple, who becomes the sole authority over what can and can't be on everyone's phones.
2. iPhone endorses and supports Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) technology.
3. iPhone exposes your whereabouts and provides ways for others to track you without your knowledge.
4. iPhone won't play patent- and DRM-free formats like Ogg Vorbis and Theora.
5. iPhone is not the only option. There are better alternatives on the horizon that respect your freedom, don't spy on you, play free media formats, and let you use free software -- like the FreeRunner.

1. Verizon controls all softwae you put on your phone. You can't manually install anything. (MS Mobile phones might be an exception because Verizon doesn't own the OS.)
2. Although you can put music on your phones, I think Verizon controls everything that is broadcast through VCast.
3. I don't think any phone actually does this, unless you install the software that does it.
4. I don't think there are any Verizon phones that do this, most phones probably don't.
5. The FreeRunner is not a very good option and barely competes with the iPhone.

I only use Verizon as an example because I subscribe to them and I know how crappy their phones are. They are endorsing Google's Android OS, but that's a long ways away.
