⇒ unflappable
b!tch-bo$$ tried to mess with my head today--i rock up to work as usual in business gear (in 30 C heat) only to find out that it's 'casual' wednesday...boss failed to notify me because I gave the after-work 'gathering' a miss...whatevs. If wearing business gear will get me out of a 3+ hour bore-athon, then hellz yeah, I'll be in business gear.
had a breakthru at the gym today:
arrived late--around 1835, which gives me roughly 30' to work out. No idea how time slips away from me like that. Anyhoo, didn't even want to run, but run i did. Did many small sections at higher speeds to get an overall higher average (new record?):
3.0km in 20'01" and 232 KCALs
18 x 50
Add to that I was serverely dehydrated throughout the run and developed sneezing fits during the day!

I'm pretty sure that circa 2004, I used to be able to get 3.2km in 20'00" on a regular basis...Seems like a dream or faint memory that I could've been capable of that. Same goes for curling. ♥♣♦♠

try out Auditorium
The design & execution come together really well...I dream about making something this pretty!
Btw, I found it via Penny Arcade RSS, who found it via...(it goes on)... ♥♣♦♠
⇒ Opera
for a while (18-24 months) I used Opera exclusively...then Firefox upgraded its tab-switching abilities and I discovered the Cmd + 1, 2, 3... quick-switch shortcut and never looked back. Not that Opera's a bad browser, mind you (its really awesome!) but without the ability to quickly switch between tabs, well there's no going back, just yet...Anyhoo, here are a few shortcuts to speed up the Opera experience:
Keyboard shortcuts

Mouse gestures. Good idea, but they haven't really caught on with me yet.

⇒ breaking point
low energy today. no running; let the shins heal/rest. As a result I didn't feel too tired after the workout. Did a pathetic 4' on rowing machine. wtf?!?
55x17, 50x18 = 1835.
tried curling again today. 2 things:
1. REALLY softened up i that department. Having a lot of difficulty lifting literally half the weights i used to (then: 22.5kg, now: 10kg)
2. my wrist is STILL stuffed up.
