Plan to Get Back in Shape
Monday, July 23, 2007 Comments
I had a wake up call last weekend: I am alarmingly out of shape. Not that I’m getting fat or anything but 10 minutes into a basketball game I was getting very winded. Contrast this with a year ago when I was in the best shape of my life after hitting the gym regularly for a year. I attribute my current state to the sedentary nature of my work and general laziness. But no more neglecting my body! Battle stations!
SunRocket is Crashing
Monday, July 16, 2007 Comments (6)
The VoIP company I use, SunRocket, apparently is going out of business. They have a lot of outstanding debt that they can’t pay and all last ditch efforts to either continue operations or sell the company have fallen through. In fact, a leaked internal memo states that SunRocket may shut down at close-of-business TODAY!

Being Lazy Under This Insanely Hot Weather
Tuesday, July 10, 2007 Comments
Everyone in NYC knows we’re going through a heat wave - heck it’s going to be 98 tomorrow! This kind of unbearably hot weather makes me so lazy. I have air conditioning but I try not to turn it on until the afternoon - I try to not turn it on during peak hours. The sleep deprivation is definitely catching up to me too. For the first half of today I just couldn’t stay alert. The combination of my extreme drowsiness and the hot weather made me extremely sluggish. So needless to say I was not very productive.
Federer Wins His Fifth Wimbledon Title in a Row
Sunday, July 8, 2007 Comments
Wow, this was one heck of a championship match - talk about top notch tennis. Federer is just on a whole other level compared to the rest of men’s tennis. I certainly think he’s the best player ever. I mean, the guy is only 25 and he has 11 majors. Roger Federer has won 11 of the past 17 Grand Slam titles. If he wins the U.S. Open in September, he’ll have 12 already! I’m pretty sure he’s going to break Sampras’ 14. Roger’s won 5 straight Wimbledon, 3 straight US Open, and 2 straight Australian Open! Even Pete Sampras wasn’t as dominant as Federer.

Good Old PC Cleaning
Tuesday, July 3, 2007 Comments
Starting about 2 weeks ago, I was noticing that whenever I put my video card under load (while gaming), my entire computer would crash. My video card is a rather old ATI Radeon 9800 XT. I had some problems a couple months ago with the video card fan not working but I was able to fix that with some cleaning. This time when I looked inside, the fan was spinning so I figured it was a problem with outdated drivers. So I updated them but no luck - still crashing.
