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*

    Annual Reviews

    Today I had mine, even though I switched jobs only 5 months ago. It really seemed a little silly. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the feedback on how I’m catching on to the job compared to the expectations, in terms of knowing where I should be, but it’s not really fair for someone to…

    Greenville Tourism

    One of my favorite things about living in South Carolina, especially now that I’ve been here awhile and have gotten used to things, are all of the great photo opportunities. Not only do we live close to the mountains, but with the mild weather, there aren’t long stretches of the year where you don’t get…

    Talking Privacy and Security on the Nuix Unscripted Podcast

    Corey Tomlinson from Nuix reached out after reading my blog post about their software demo to engage me in a conversation with him and Hoke Smith, also from Nuix, about the issues raised.

  • More About Thank you Notes

    I was listening to the latest Manager Tools podcast at lunch today. They’ve talked about the importance of writing thank you notes before, but today’s podcast was entirely on that topic. In true Manager Tools style, not only did I learn how important the act of sending thank you notes is, both professionally and personally,…

    Shine a Light

    This morning, my wife was hosting a bridal shower/brunch at our house, so I needed to occupy myself away from the house for a couple of hours. Given the gray, cruddy weather, my options were somewhat limited, but I had read a number of positive reviews of Shine a Light, the Martin Scorcese filmed Rolling…
