Score one for the Good Guys
I hate squirrels. One block diet agrees.

Workouts – Back to Basics
Today I began something that I should probably have been doing all along. It might have averted the little tiny problem I had last fall. That thing is: core workouts every day.
Don’t misunderstand me; I don’t plan to put in a 45 minute abs-back-hips intensive crushing exercise session every single day. What I plan to do is devote at least 15 minutes to doing basic strengthening exercises to stabilize my core. I know I can come up with 15 minutes every day for a basic set of poses. If I don’t manage to get up in time, I can do them at lunch. If I don’t do them at lunch, there’s at home. 15 minutes is easy. I can do it!
If the marathon training underway knocks my fat percentage down any more, I might even have a six pack! I won’t hold my breath, though.
15 minutes a day (or more, depending). Jenn might even get me back into Yoga. We’ll see.

Not all Attention is Good Attention
It’s invariably a bad thing when you read an item on Pharygunla and it clicks through to your home region’s newspaper. We’ve had a bit too many of those here in Georgia.
Apparently a married couple in Summerville decided to tatoo their children so they could be a part of the family. Law enforcement ensued.

New Project: A Year in Pictures Volume 1
I’ve made it a goal to carry my camera more and take pictures frequently. Last calendar year was spotty. This year will be helped by my new phone which has a reasonable camera on it.1
In order to facilitate that goal I’m going to try and post a “picture a day” here on the Eyebrow. This will probably be the format: batches. Perhaps I’ll explain what’s going on. Perhaps you’ll have to click through to Flickr or twipic. It will depend on my mood.
Here we have the first seven days of 2009
1: The T-Mobile Dash is a sucky piece of equipment that never took a good picture. The Blackberry 8900 is decent. My Digital Rebel XT is excellent

I Have Ideas. I Don't Have Time
An excellent point is made in this Indexed about ideas. If only we had infinite time and resources to pursue things.

Social Media should be Taken Seriously
People who use social media because a marketeer has told them “You really should be on Twitter” shouldn’t.
Why? It leads to embarrassing moments. John Oxendine, prospective governor of Georgia, has been caught using Twitter for the sake of promotion but without actually caring what Twitter is all about, or accuracy for that matter.
This is quite amusing to me because Twitter is by its nature exactly what you the user want it to be. It can be anything from a method of keeping friends and family up to date with your schedule to a poetry forum to a running log. It can be anything, limited only by your imagination and the 140 character limit.
But when you use it because you “must” then you tend to flub up and make an ass of yourself. Good job, Mr. Oxendine.

I Want to Live in The Future (Or, Where is my Jetpack)
Our Jetpacks are closer than we think. I want to live in the future, and talks like this tell me that we’re getting there, fast.
