WIDLW

Last weekend, my beautiful girl and I went to Berlin to see NiN play LIVE...







It was utterly incredible - if you get the chance to see them, then go - do not 'consider' it, do not ruminate, simply make sure that you go...

Clipmarks is cool - check it!

Yes, you can accept Apple's logic that "it all just works" straight out of the packaging, but there are better reasons for moving to a Mac than a factor that's just as true of modern PCs these days.

Now there's an x86-based PC sitting under the hood of every modern Mac, the old battle lines are blurring. Time to reconsider the once expensive, always stylish, now Unix-based Mac platform? We say yes.

Mmmmm Picasa...

I am a dreadful tart when it comes to people giving me free space to post my photographs, so when I realised that Google have made it "easy" to post images to Picasa Web from my Mac, I had to give it a try...

And so it begins...

I have finally taken the step of getting back to exercise... For those of you that don't know me I have been failing to exercise for quite a while now, and despite an overall downward trend in my weight (which has been planned and successfully sustained thus far) and my continued cessation from smoking, my fitness has not been improving.

So what exercise am I doing? Tai Chi, as it turns out. I have enrolled in an intial 10 week beginners course with the CIAA and I have to say after only one session I __do__ feel the benefit. That is not to say that I think the hill is climbed; far from it, but I am surprised both by how much effort it took to do a 2 hour session and how good it made me feel to make that effort. I think, moving forward, that I will have to do an amount of purely aerobic / cardiovascular exercise as well, which I think will probably mean going running, but the biggest battle has been fought and won - I have gotten out of the house to do a new, active activity.

I will let y'all know how it goes - after all I have had to lay out £100 up front!
