Regular Zerosign readers should know that I have an unhealthy obsession with starting new websites. Some succeed; most crash and burn. Maybe I do this because I have a wide range of diverse interests that I need to express online. Or maybe I just have a highly specialized form of attention deficit disorder. Either way, I’d like to introduce a new blog based on one of my new found interests: fitness. FitHacks.com is a blog where I talk about my adventures in weight-loss, fitness, and my journey toward running a marathon. You see over the course of the last year and a half I’ve somehow managed to stick with a fitness plan that I created myself and actually works. In that time I’ve lost right at 70 lbs and have gone from being able to barely jog 1/4 mile to completing several distance based races. The site has a slant to the geeky so all Zerosign readers should feel right at home. Feel free to come on over, subscribe to the feed and participate in the new era of fitness for geeks.
Geeky? Definitely! Useful? Probably not. Nevertheless, I would like to show off my ingenious Batman cable organizer. The Batman figure seen above came from a box of Cheerios that I purchased solely for the toy hidden inside (I was hoping for The Joker, and yes, I’m six years old). Where else would I place a piece of geeky memorabilia but on my computer desk already overflowing with cables? One day when trying to clear the clutter (or just playing around with my action figures, you decide) I thought of this as a neat way to organize the countless cables connecting my computer to all my much needed peripherals. I hope it impresses you as much as it does me.
Zerosign Flashback - One year ago from today I posted this find from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Now that I have the full power of YouTube at my disposal, I believe it deserves another look
*cringe* Electrical Engineering students at UAB performing parodies of popular(?) songs with an electrical engineering theme. Actually, they are pretty funny. Not so much of a “haha funny” though. Its more of a “man this is awkward” kinda funny. The videos feature “Friends in Three Phases” (Garth Brooks parody), “Ohm’s Law Pie” (Don McLean parody), and definitely my favorite “In da EE Club” performed by 50 Ohm (50 Cent parody).
