It's even simpler than that: " Some food for thought: • If your food has a wrapper or a box, chances are it isn't good for you. • If your food has ingredients you can't say, chances are it isn't good for you. • If your food makes a claim that it's healthy, chances are it isn't good for you. • If your food comes pre-seasoned, chances are it isn't good for you. • Lastly, if your food makes any claims about fat loss, chances are it isn't good for you.

""" The Next Mainstream Programming Languages I didn't see anyone post them yet, so here are the slides from Tim Sweeney's POPL talk entitled "The Next Mainstream Programming Languages: A Game Developer's Perspective". I know Tim and I aren't the only game developers who follow LtU, and I figure even non-game developers might find them quite interesting! http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~dpw/popl/06/Tim-POPL.ppt """ - http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/1277 (You can find PDFs of that by searching for the title of his talk.) Tim Sweeney is an interesting guy to read up on; he's gotten into the Haskell language quite a long time ago, and has created and participated in some interesting discussions about programming. He explicitly states in that particular talk that "...[would give up 10% performance for 10% more productivity]...", and that concurrency is a major issue.

I've used John Stone Fitness[^] as motivation. He's a sysadmin, and seems to be reasonably successful now that he's turned his mental-health around--potentially due to his fitness website. I originally found his site after looking for calorie:weight correlations--he used to have an excel sheet showing direct correlation between the 2-day trailing calorie input and current weight--I thought that was quite an eye-opener. Motivation is one thing, making time is another. Paying for the equipment--or Gym membership--is one thing, ensuring you've put away the time to use it is another. My motivation was hitting 205lbs when my "mental" weight is closer to 180lbs--for reference I was a very fit 6'1"; past-tense on my activity and not my stature. Christmas was cruel to me, but otherwise over the course of three months, I've lost 15lbs without much effort. Fitness training is about more than weight though. It's about total life health!
