Throwing Fits – Wii Fits

Our Wii Fit arrived today, around 6PM, which was a good thing, I’m not sure Angela could have waited much longer. 🙂

It’s an interesting game. It’s fun, and it definitely gets your heart beating and, I assume, increases your metabolism. I won’t say it’s the same as going to the gym and doing 30 minutes on the bike, but it’s not bad as an in-between routine, and it does keep track of how you’re doing for you, which is nice. The other nice thing is that by tracking your center of balance, it helps you not “cheat” when doing things like torso twists, and yoga. You have to do the exercise properly and not use your legs to “help”  the muscles you’re supposed to be working out.

Interestingly, while the initial profile setup said I was obese (Granted, I could stand to lose 20-30lbs, and the NHS definition of obese is ridiculous like that, so I accept that), it also said my Fit age is 37. I’m really 39 so, apparently, I’m pretty in shape for an obese guy. *L*

    My Twitter Account Got Suspended

    I woke up this morning and discovered that Twitter had blocked my account. Why? I have no idea. Apparently they have decided that auto-posting links to my blog or from Buffer looks like spam or something. I had to go through and verify myself using an SMS message to get it enabled again. I do…

    Brookgreen Garden

    As a photographer, can there be anything better than a place with decades old live oaks, various works of art laid out among a garden with water fountains, an old rice patty tidal creek, an aviary and a few Christmas decorations thrown in? Plus, seeing, and photographing, everything also led to something along the lines…

    You Are More Than Your Job

    I think this is something that many of us have been realizing to some degree in the past couple of years. We are more than our work, and there are things in life that are more important than our work. I enjoyed the questions and challenges Arthur lays out as well, so you should go read the article and consider those. As I read through them I had one thought, over and over again.

    How many of my friends don’t even care about what I do for a living?

    I feel very lucky to have those folks. The people who’ve remained friends regardless of my current career status, The ones who might not even really understand what I do for a living. Because they ground me, and remind me that in actuality, what I do during my workday isn’t really that big of a deal. It’s all well and good to be great at my job, but the important people in my life are there because of the relationship we have, not because I’m good at legal tech, and I want them in my life because of who they are, not what their job is. 

    That’s a big deal.

    Missed opportunity

    So Angela and I scored some passes to the premiere of Zodiac earlier this week. It was a pretty good, intense, dramatic kind of movie. But I felt like something was missing. See, towards the end of the movie Jake Gyllenhaal’s character becomes completely obsessed with finding out who the Zodiac Killer is, and “solving…

    Couple of My Photos Used in Music Video

    The lovely, and talented, Annika Vitolo put out the word that she was looking for photos taken in Brooklyn for her latest music video, and who am I to say no to a fellow PS 207 alum? (Annika and I sat next to each other in 6th grade, a “few” years ago.) Seeing all the…

    First Pass

    My first pass at photos from this past, long weekend trip to West Virginia are up, as are Angela’s. I’ve got a few more in mind that may show up on Flickr in the next few days. We’ll see how the week shakes out. Today was a rough first day back. For some reason this…
