Getting sneakers out of storage

For all you cynics out there, I did go to the gym last night. It was a brief workout, but I'm still feeling it this morning, though not in a "help me I'm crippled because I worked out too hard" sort of way. Just enough that I know I pushed a bit. Best not to go too nuts the first time.

I'm sure I could have asked the guy working the gym for a little guidence on using the machines, but, hey, I'm a guy. We don't ask for help. We just go and flounder around. So flounder I did. I think I did okay, though: no crashing of weights, no injuries, nothing too conspiciously incompetent. I probably have the seat at the wrong level, and there's probably an easier way to adjust some of these things, but I figure I'll work that out over time. My big mistake is to fuss too much about doing everything perfectly, and thus, getting overwhelmed and actually doing nothing instead. For now, I'll do half-assed workouts, and let it evolve from there.

I know I should be using free weights instead of machines, but that's just way too much of a commitment for me right now. The last time I tried to transition from machines to free-weights, it just got to be too much a pain in my ass, and I stopped going. Better too work out on a machine than to not work out at all, right?

I did discover that it's hard to use the exercise machines and listen to my PJB-100, because I don't have a belt to clip it to, and frankly, I'm afraid if I slide in the waist-band of my shorts, my shorts will end up around my ankles. I'll have to figure something out. I don't want to be arrested for indecent exposure in my building just because I'm trying to listen to music.

We don't sell that flavor here

On a technical side, I've registered yet another domain for yet another project. This one will be an effort to make some money though. Alterniverse / Pneutopia is supposed to make money too, but being realistic, that project isn't going to support me anytime soon. The new venture has a much shorter profitability horizon. I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to discover that domain for now, but before you start digging, the domain application is still being processed. You may have to wait a day or two to start snooping. It's also being hosted somewhere else, which breaks my heart, because I love my hosting company, but the decision was made for business reasons.

Now that I'm going to be doing "real" web development, I suppose it's time to dress this site up a bit. Using a default blogger style is a major bozo move, I know. I just haven't had the time or inclination to diddle around with it. Maybe this weekend. (Yeah, right.)
