This can not be stressed enough. Slow, consistent weight loss is much more healthy, much easier to maintain, and a more realistic goal than all of the get-thin-quick diets you see advertised at 2am on TV. Made Fit TV‘s Jennifer DiDonato is an expert in the field of fitness. She recently a no-brainer video and

NPR.org is getting a facelift on July 27th. As a way to promote the new redesign, allow people to see it, and to give feedback, NPR has created this promotional video and put it on YouTube. The video shows Scott Simon, one of NPR’s hosts, going through the site for the first time and describing

Try saying that five times fast. Green Bell Pepper preview… Gree… Nevermind. Someday very soon I’ll be posting an update about our garden – for now, here is a preview of how well our bell peppers are doing. Also of note: Chili peppers are, as the rumor was, very hot.

Leah, the curator at House Obsession, recently visited an early 1800s Stone Mill located in central Pennsylvania. You may file this under ‘could stare at all day’. Since she doesn’t link to the full-sized photos from the images themselves, I’ve done so here. I hope this is ok Leah. Full sized photos: Stone mill, stone

Viddler all-star Kyle Slattery (right) is back from his semester in Germany. He’s already back at work and back to eating Gombos from The Goose. We’re happy to have him back and to feed him. Oh yeah, Rob Sandie is in this photo too.

So this is a bit to chew. My friend and follow Viddler team member Kyle Slattery, a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, suggested on my suggestions page (which has a little spam on it right now, sorry about that) that I write about some "favorite places you’ve visited less than 2

Long-time friend Josue Salazar asks, via Twitter: "Actually, is anyone still reading feeds? I bet many mainly live off of content people are tweeting links about. Sensational content != good." Sounds familiar.

Roz Savage, the Ocean Rower I linked to the other day, recently mentioned that she was a feature on Bing.com’s home page. Since I’m a few days behind on reading her posts she was no longer featured on the home page by the time I got there. I noticed that Bing.com’s home page features have

To many of you this may seem like a no brainer but I thought I’d share the way I use Twitter’s favorite feature anyway because I’ve found it very valuable over the last few months. In nearly every Twitter application, and on the site itself, you may favorite a Tweet with minimal effort. On the

Keyboard shortcuts, both for the browser itself and for Web sites that take advantage of them, can be extremely powerful. Google Reader set the precedent for keyboard shortcuts by working through a stream of information using J to advance and K to move backward through the stream. The Big Picture, Ffffound, and now Tumblr’s Dashboard

Mondays are notoriously the least favorite day of the week. The end of the weekend. The beginning of the work week – no matter how you look at it, it isn’t good. Which is why I love that No Reservations is on Monday night. What better way to cap off an otherwise crappy day? Tune

Eliza and I did a little fishing with my friend Johnny and his kids Kristopher, Micailyn, and Nicolas on Wednesday. Fishing with kids is always an adventure.

I played around with Odosketch for a few minutes and at first glance – it is one of the better ‘in-browser’ sketching tools out there. I look forward to working with it in the future. Via David Kaneda.

[viddler id-1c6c90f4 h-278 w-420] To say that I’m excited, wouldn’t be enough. You all know where I will be on Monday. Sitting on my couch, mouth gaping, a warm pool of drool at my feet, staring at my television – listening to the snarkiest man alive – Anthony Bourdain – talk about meat, fat, butter,

Michael Heilemann recently had an idea for a comment system based on Twitter @replies. Not a new idea, to be sure, as there are several rather well-documented solutions for this floating around out there. But that isn’t the bit I’m interested in with his post. I’m interested in the bit where he says he misses

Decided to try my hand at the aforelinked Odosketch. Taking inspiration from the Black-eyed Susans I drew this. Pretty neat to see it played back.

As of a few hours ago, if you’re viewing any of the mobile photos (such as this one that I just put up) on an iPhone or iPod touch, the viewing area should automatically ‘zoom’ into the proper area. You may send payments via Paypal.

Talk about a job title. Ocean Rower has to be one of the best ones I’ve come across yet and Roz Savage, who is currently in the Pacific Ocean rowing solo from Hawai’i to Tuvalu in her second stage of her Pacific voyage, has the privilege of owning it. I’m still reading her daily posts

Not the greatest photos, that’s for sure (the second was was taken through our living room window in our apartment with an iPhone), but I find rainbows just great. Recently we’ve had an awful lot of rain, and particularly when it rains in the evenings the sun is shining through the rain and mist, making

Via Mena Trott, via Serious Eats…. Fancy Fast Food. To all employees of Burger King, McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Taco Bell and their ilk – I would like my next meal to come looking like this.

The first iPhone game I’ve wanted to buy this badly since Rolando 1.0, Edge. I’ll be picking this up in the near future.

Not sure what Susan did or why she has a black eye but these are cool flowers nonetheless.

This little guy put a pretty good suckin’ on my hand before I figured out he was in the house. So I trapped him under my magnifying glass for a few hours before using my junk-store-salvaged microscope to look at him up close and personal.

When the Web-based version of the Facebook iPhone application shipped it was great. When the first version of the native Facebook iPhone application shipped it was great. Even though I think it is a bit overdue, when the next version of the Facebook iPhone application ships, it will more than likely be great too.

Last year, when Eliza and I picked strawberries at Pallman’s Poultry Farm, was my first time picking strawberries. So, obviously – this year was my second. This time we had company. Our friends Paul and Sherin joined us and not only did we have a good time – we picked a lot of berries. At

I’m a huge fan of John Williams. Seriously. I have nearly every work he’s ever wrote, conducted, and recorded. When Kyle Slattery posted this video on his Tumblr I knew I had to ‘repost’ it here. By ApprenticeA on YouTube.

I’ve never used labels but Google’s recent updates to Gmail may lead me to use them. Do you use labels? If so, how?

Chili peppers from our garden. Looking forward to melting my taste buds on these babies.

This is all Eliza’s fault. She has created a monster. But a cute monster.
