Hey look, I’m still alive! Whodathunkit after so few updates over such a long time span. Sure looks bad compared to the times I was able to get in 3-4 posts a week, huh…

Basically I’ve been really busy. Obviously. I’ve had all kinds of things going on, such as work, studying for and taking the GMAT, applying for UNLV’s business school… I’ve also taken on a smaller side project with my friend Andrew, getting some of my creative PHP juices going to make a little extra cash on the side. More money is always nice.

I’ve also had a lot of extracurricular activity going on lately. I’ve had knee appointments, dentist appointments… Lunches with Julia (who finally joined Twitter). Indeedy.

Really, I’ve got something interesting to post about today. The other day a good buddy of mine told me that Laura looks really hot now. Well, she does. She always has been hot to me. But he was mostly referencing her weight loss, which now stands somewhere over 20. I think closer to 25 pounds, but I’m not really sure.

This got me to thinking about how awful men have it when their ladies start losing weight… And before I proceed yes, I know I’m leaving out anything besides heterosexual relationships, but it’s just easier to talk about it this way and it’s a classic example. But yes, men really have it awful.

What the hell is a man to say when his woman is losing weight? It’s a catch-22. There isn’t anything you can say that will be 100% solid.

You’re hotter than before. The response to this is “What, was I not hot enough before? Was I not good enough for you?” Whoops.

You look just as great as before. The response: “None of this weight loss has made any effect? I’m still dumpy?!”

You’ve always been hot to me. The response… Well, I can’t think of a specific response to this, but it could be perceived that you never tell the truth about your spouse’s attraction level. But I think this is the best response out of the three.

So basically, all I’ve been saying to Laura this whole time is yes, she’s hot. Her weight loss does look good but it’s for her, not me. I’ve always been happy with her however she wants to be and am not dissatisfied. Now if I could just figure out what the hell to say…

Oh, on a side note. My weight loss hit a big plateau at about the 190-192 range for over a month, but I believe I’ve finally broken through that barrier because I’ve finally ducked under 190. Hopefully I’ll be posting about my next milestone, 185, here very soon.

I do plan on posting about a variety of subjects soon, so here’s a list that will hopefully keep me on track:

• San Francisco
• Chase Auto Finance issues
• MIT Sloan??
• Perceptions of programming
• Deconstructing arguments & conversation
• Computer building

So I know I said that I’d be posting more now that we’ve gotten back from San Francisco, but unfortunately I’ve been really damn busy. With work being more of a mental drain and studying for the GMAT after I get home, I haven’t had much time to hop on here and update you all on life.

I’ll try to soon, I promise! I’m also hoping to tell you about my new awesome powerline adapters I installed at home.

So yeah, it’s been awhile since my last post. Increased workload at work and our vacation to San Francisco last week have dented my posting ability. Been busy, but I’ll have some posts for you soon. I already have three subjects to tackle when I get the chance to, so don’t fret! I haven’t left you!

Much to my chagrin, my blog has never really looked correct on my iPhone. Most websites that don’t have a mobile version never really do look correct on mobile devices, so…

Really though, I’ve never considered mobile versions for the websites I work on and run. Until smartphones took off, the consideration was never really there for me… Well, they’ve taken off.

Thus, my quest to make my blog look correct on at least the iPhone has been completed. I’ve installed a nice new plugin to my blog that’ll make it look slick on the iPhone, and supposedly it’ll look correct on other mobile devices as well.

I’ve taken a test drive of the plugin and success. It looks good. I suggest for you to go take a look in your iPhone as well.

Oh, and let’s not forget an update on my busted liver, err knee. It’s been slowly getting better. I’ve got more range and motion today than any time since the injury, and I’m actually a bit more confident that there’s no permanent damage, or damage that will eventually need to be surgically repaired. I have an Indoor Soccer game this Thursday, so we’ll see how it feels during that game, afterwards, and that night as well. I think it’ll be alright, though.
