my morning exercise routine consists of 30 minutes on a lifefitness 95xi, usually in the cascades hill mode at level 12. (i don’t own the machine, i walk five blocks to the downtown ymca. since it is up a hill from me, that also serves as my warmup and cool-down.)

i had gone into this exercise thing with the idea that a recumbent bike would be for me, but i found it to be less than satisfying. part of it was because my right foot would often cramp up, for no apparent reason.

developer who doesn’t like star wars discovered says the star tribune. oops!

i’ve had an email address published on a public web site for about two months, and it has not been sent a single piece of spam. the only encoding is that the @ is encoded as @.

it hasn’t received an email from anyone else, either, but that’s an entirely different matter.

the trailers for garden state are amazing, so i was thinking that might be a good movie to see this weekend. i noticed it was playing at the arclight cinemas hollywood, but then further noticed that the off-peak price (what some less snooty people might call the matinee price) is $11.

now the arclight is a really, really nice theater, but $11 for a matinee just strikes me as terribly offensive.

garden state is also playing at the laemmle’s playhouse 7 cinemas in pasadena. the matinees are $6.

or maybe i’ll just stick to my local theatre and see maria full of grace and hope they bring in garden state in a week or two.
