Getting fit and other things:

Aden and I are on a new regimen... well, sorta. We'll see how long it lasts anyway. We've started playing tennis on two of the three days when the little guy isn't with us, and this week we've started doing length swims during lunch at the local pool (I'm way out of shape, or at least my lungs are, and I can only do about 15 minutes before I start getting a little dizzy). We also rode into work yesterday for the first time in a couple months, which is a positive step, except now we have to ride it home at some point, if only we could just ride in (the ride in is easy, mostly down hill, about 1/2 hour... the ride home is tough, mostly uphill and about 1 hour, and it causes me lung inflammations).

Our regimen is loose but we're looking at:
Sunday/Tuesday - Tennis
Monday/Thursday - Swimming
Tuesday - Ride In (transit home late)
Wednesday - Ride In
Friday - Ride Home
Call it half-assed cross-training

I <3 Google


Well, I suckered myself back into another 3-year term with Rogers, so I won't likely be able to do the whole Google Android thing for a while (but I'm much more interested in it than the iPhone). I like my new phone... a Samsung (whatever), which means I have a working phone again so people can get in touch with the 401 Kent once more should they need to.

But what's got me enthused is Chrome, the new Google browser. Although I'm really not geeky enough to care too much about one browser or another (I do prefer firefox to MS Exploder though), I'm thrilled that Google hired Understanding Comics guru Scott McCloud to illustrate an on-line Comic Book to explain away what it is that makes Chrome so awesome. And it's awesome. I love comics.

I'm now contributing regularly to Second Printing, so if you like reading about comics, that's where I get my geek on. If you like reading reviews of comics, I'm dishing out my opinion weekly on Rack Raids (usually Thursdays)
