Two months ago the females in my life were becoming increasingly vocal about how skinny I was -> I decided to gain some weight. Sure, I wasn’t really that skinny – a body mass index of ~21, smack in the middle of healthy – but hey, why not. Let’s try to fatten up a bit. [...]
Waging war with sleep is very tiring business and I’ve been doing it pretty much as long as I can remember. My daily 750words are littered with battle reports, my twitter stream gets constantly barraged with updates from the war effort and I think it’s pretty safe to say that I may have tried more [...]
Just over a month ago I went on an internet diet that would practically cut me off the world as I know it. The deal was no internet except for an hour every evening, or when it was absolutely necessary for reasons of work or school. A week ago that diet ended. It is no [...]
The idea of a data driven lifestyle has really started gaining ground lately. It seems every month at least one such application comes out.

This marks the first in what I hope to make a quick daily note on this blog. As an exercise in learning something every day and considering that people tend to remember things much better when writing them down, I will take a few minutes every evening to write the two things I have learned [...]
My circadian rhythm has always followed its own sort of clock and I’ve never quite been able to look like anything other than a raging insomniac to most people. Lately though, it’s gotten absolutely bonkers. Last Friday I actually got to sleep at a pretty reasonable hour, about 4am. This is still pretty normal. I [...]
It’s not often that I go buy a new set of hair, actually I only do it once every two years or so. I don’t really mind going, in fact I kind of like the type of pampering my hair can only get at a hair salon. And the girls there are always so nice [...]
