Couple more things for you today:
OkCupid! has a great article about staying in shape, beginning with their first suggestion, proper attitude:
Any physical improvement program is at least fifty percent mental. That’s why the undead and children under 2 are often so out-of-shape. Above all, you must have a positive self-image. Here’s mine:
Notice that my girlfriend is really hot, she never wears a bra, and I’m very, very close to the moon. In fact, my life will be perfect as soon as Devil-ra and her ghoulish minions taste cold steel. The power of a positive mental attitude knows no bounds.
However, it’s essential to be realistic about your expectations. Notice that every muscle in my mental picture is anatomically accurate and that the folds in the leather of my battle-boots are very true-to-life. If I actually were a barbarian, I would look exactly like this. You wish you were this honest with yourself.
I wish I could be that close to the moon!
The New York Times takes a look at online coupons. I was actually thinking about coupons this morning in the shower (I don’t know how I did that either), but I would think that retailers would be moving to coupons via app, like on iPhones, Androids and the like. It would save paper, and I’m sure cash registers can track data without the paper back up of printable coupons. With the new square barcodes, they could hold such an insane amount of information, I think the only probably we’d be looking at is if scanners could read them off the screens. Anyway, the article looks at information contained in barcodes that have been printed at home.
Here’s yet another article about the iPad and its restrictions, the reason I won’t be getting one. And as I’ve said before, they aren’t the only company to do this, just the biggest at the moment, which is why I’m looking at a Droid for the next phone I get (well that and some other reasons):
Apple is still insisting on locking the device down as though it were an iPhone: No third-party apps can run on it unless they’re approved by Apple. Apple wants to play gatekeeper so it can establish itself as toll-taker
That’s it for now, have a great one!
