I bought an Xbox HD-DVD drive at Best Buy a while ago and never received the promised Heroes first season box set. So I’m at Best Buy now doing another errand an checking to see what they’ll do for me. Promises to be interesting :-)
Update: So after waiting around for a while, they finally decided to give me a box set of Heroes Season 1 in standard DVD. I would have preferred the $50, but that’s what I got — Craigslist here I come.
I just realized that I’ve been blogging now for 6 years. The first post to my web site (then k2.com) was in February 2002. Hard to imagine that I’ve been doing this for that long. I know that I wasn’t one of the first bloggers out there — Wikipedia suggests that the term itself was coined in 1997. But 6 years is a pretty long time to be doing anything on the Internet. So perhaps that’s a sufficient enough accomplishment.
Sort of like writing multiple blog posts the same day.
I think that it’s about time to start riding the motorcycle regularly now. The weather has gotten a bit warmer and I noted that it’s getting dark a bit later. I’m definitely feeling good about that.
Because my hands get cold when I ride, I had heated grips installed when I got my new ride. But I’ve discovered that Gerbing’s heated glove liners work much better. Installation was a breeze. I may actually have to get some of their other heated gear.
Of course, it’s also going to be time to get out on the bicycle after a long winter of indoor cycling.
I’m still going strong on the treadmill. It’s been a week since I installed the treadmill and I’m pretty happy with the results. On most days I seem to walk around 4 miles at a pace of 1 mph. I haven’t really noticed any difference in my weight (not that I’m trying to lose any) so it’s not clear what the calorie burn is at this point. But I do notice that I’m more focused on the tasks at hand once I’m on the treadmill. Once I’m on it, I don’t want to stop what I’m doing, which is a good thing. I’ve gotten much more done over the week since I’ve had it.
