122/365 – 1/26/2010 Horrible quality but if you look at the light, its hanging by a thread of a wire. I don’t know who would park under that.

Sue to the humidity and climate every light was throwing off huge streaks through my windshield.
Fun with fortune cookies #1
Starting a series on comical fortune cookies I receive. Here’s a good one. I still don’t even know what this one means. Any thoughts?

Introduction to personal metadata
Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of new tools, be it web apps or gadgets, that help us keep track of the things we do on a daily basis. Wether it be tracking weight, food eating, exercise, sleep, or any of the many of other activities to track.
Personally I have been tracking certain activities for a few years, primarily my diet and exercise. Lately, I’ve been expanding the data that I track and the tools I use to track the data.
As they say you can’t manage what you can’t measure.
This is the beginning of series of posts in which I’m hopping to talk about the tools that I’m using and other tools that are out there to track and manage our actions, or as I call it “personal metadata”. Brad Feld has had some interesting posts on this subject which he calls human instrumentation, Bryce also has discussed this as well.
Stay tuned to the tag personal metadata for details on the tools I’m using.

Pandora vs. Last.fm round 1
I’m late to the party, I know. These two online music providers have been around for some time, and while have known about them I’ve never really taken the time to understand them. I don’t have a large music collection managed through iTunes; I’d say it’s about average sized, and I go through phases where I would add a lot of new music for a few weeks then add nothing for weeks. So new music discovery is often sporadic, and for the last year or so I have left the task to podcasts like All Songs Considered and those compiled by some of my favorite DJ’s. I used podcasts because they are easy; iTunes manages them, downloads them, removes them, and transfers them to my iPhone seamlessly. I tend to do most of my listening while working and for some reason I could not get Pandora to play in Firefox or internet explorer while in the office. I blamed our security policies but never really spent much time trying. I also did not try last.fm as Pandora has always been explained to me as the simpler to use service of the two. I didn’t want to install their plug-in to only find out I couldn’t listen at work.
My year as a vegetarian (nearly vegan)
Time flies by. It didn’t hit me on the day, but the other day I was reminded that it was just over a year ago (the anniversary would have been almost two weeks ago, on the 5th) I decided to become a vegetarian again (for the second time in my life). This time rather than chose the lacto-ovo route as I previously did many years ago, I chose to take it a steep or two further and become a strict vegetarian. Strict is basically vegan, which is what I tend to call it when dining out as most people have no idea what being a strict vegetarian is, but they tend to understand what vegan mean.
