Greetings Internet traveller! Thanks again for dropping in on my little corner of the web.
After publicly shaming myself with my shirtless post in the beginning of the year I figured it was about time for a check in. Don’t worry, you won’t need to shield your eyes from the screen, no picture today. I’ll save that for the end of the year.
To date I’ve lost 30 pounds, I am under 300 pounds, and I can go up a flight of stairs without getting winded. I am making better eating choices and exercising two to three times a week. I am pretty pleased with my progress but really need to crank it up a bit.
Last month I was tapped by my friend Jed to help support the social networking management aspect of a project that he has done with family and friends. It’s a super villian musical called Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog and it looks like it is going to be one of the biggest projects I have ever ridden the coat-tails of. Hit up the site to find out more (or use the links below to hit up all the sites that have been set up).
Lastly, we have The Experiment. I find that on instant messenger programs I am usually the one who initiates contact with other people (probably much to their annoyance). Today I am going to turn it on and not contact anyone. I will leave it running and I am going to see just how long it takes for someone to actually want to talk to me (those actually reading this are hereby disqualified). I will post the results as soon as they are known.
I hope all of you out there are doing well and I hope the rest of the year is good to you.

The first Instant Message has come in after 3 hours of being on. It was an ICQ spam message trying to get me to go to a site.
** EDIT at 2:10 PM Pacific Time **
Second Instant Message has come in. This time it is in fact someone that knows me and wanted to share something with me. 4 hours and 10 minutes. I’m going to reset the clock and see how long the next message takes. I really don’t know why I’m doing this.

The one friend I’ve known the longest, Jereme, IM’d me after reading this. Thanks sir but, as said before, readers of this blog are disqualified. Appreciate the effort though.

Another friend from Los Angeles IM’d me out of the blue to check in. I consider this experiment a success. Someone did actually want to chat with me today.
