Ugh exercise sucks until you get in shape
Started a new (*cough*) exercise routine this weekend, and man does it make me realize just how fuckin’ out of shape I am.  The plan goes like this.. I work my ass off until I almost fall over and then hop in the shower and have a good breakfast. So far this is what I’ve been doin’:
Bike 12-14 miles a day
50 sit ups
100+ bicep curls on each arm (I’ve only got 40lb weights at the moment, need to get bigger ones)
50 bench reps (I’ve only got 150lbs in bench weights… need to get more)
followed up by running a few miles in the evening.
The nice thing about it all is I pretty much sleep like a damn log after all that 😉
After typing this I realize…I need to go shopping and get some more weights!

Nobel Peace Prize – Now a complete joke
Al Gore was awarded the Nobel Peace prize…. Please tell me what pushing for climate change has to do with preserving or persuing world peace? that’s right… nothing.
So I now consider this “prize” to be a complete joke and influenced by pocket books, gotta love to see corruption on something that’s been a respected prize for decades…

Ballmer, Suck this
Steve Ballmer please close your mouth, shut up, and go color or something… you look like a complete fool ranting and raving on stage about linux and windows. “People who use Red Hat, at least with respect to our intellectual property, in a sense have an obligation to compensate us,” -Ballmer Mr. Ballmer, I know you have a personal vendetta against RedHat due to the fact that they told you to go fly a kite when you offered to strike a “deal”. However just because they aren’t going to play your little mind games doesn’t mean they have stolen anything or are infringing on any IP… in fact it makes them look even better and you look even worse.
I hope you have a coronary.

Haha Silly Hippies
Latest data shows that the hole in the ozone has shrunk 30% in the last year… I’m sure we can thank Al Gore and his jumbo jet that chews thousands of gallons of fuel per flig… oh wait no he’s a hypocrit.

The great chinese firewall
Ars Technica is running a story on how RSS feeds are now blocked by the “great chinese firewall” It astounds me how communism is still flourishing in China… God forbid your citizens are able to absorb news from around the world.
From Ars Technica:
As many readers who follow the antics of the Chinese government know, when it comes to enforcing the “Great Firewall of China,” consistency isn’t exactly its strong point. While certain phrases, concepts, and entire web sites are regularly blocked from reaching the eyeballs of many Chinese Internet surfers, things like high traffic are enough to let a number of forbidden concepts slip through. And then there’s the indecision of China’s Public Security Bureau (PSB), which has blocked certain sites (such as Blogspot and WordPress blogs) on and off for some time now, and enforces the blocks inconsistently between provinces. For a One True China, there are certainly many interpretations of what is and isn’t allowed through the country’s cyber connection.

Savvy Internet fans in the people’s republic have known for a long time, however, that there have been simple ways to get forbidden information. One of those ways was the magical gift of Real Simple Syndication, or RSS. The Great Firewall can block specific web sites all it wants, but as long as there’s an RSS feed, many Chinese surfers can use feeds to access otherwise forbidden information.
Unfortunately, China appears to have finally gotten wise to RSS as of late—reports have been popping up from our readers and around the web of not being able to access FeedBurner RSS feeds as early as August of this year. More recent reports tell us that the PSB appears to have extended this block to all incoming URLs that begin with “feeds,” “rss,” and “blog,” thus rendering the RSS feeds from many sites—including ones that aren’t blocked in China, such as Ars Technica—useless.
