The Path to Redemption: Be A Geek

Since today is a new day and I'm not one for dwelling, I got up this morning thinking about what I could do to get out of this mini-slump. The answer? Pure, unadulterated, geekiness. It's my day off, so I decided to bask in the warm glow of my iMac (please no Mac vs. PC arguments... I own several PCs so back off) before doing my yoga. Ahh, but there's still a lingering question... what have I been doing?

In case you haven't noticed I decided to add a few little features to the blog. If you ever delved into custom templates in Blogger you know that it can be somewhat confusing. They have their own template tags that you need to become familiar with, and you also need to understand where all the little bits and bobbles are. I got a pretty good lay of the land when adding the "Read More..." piece to the blog. It's a rather simple hack, but I'm surprised it's not a standard feature since it seems like every other blog program out there has some type of read more function.

As we continue with our P90X journey and I'm getting back into web development and other things, don't be surprised if you start seeing posts that are a little off-topic. While I'm loving P90X, sometimes I want to write about more than just workouts and what I'm stuffing in my face. Obviously we're geeks so posts will probably have the usual nerd-like flair, and I promise I'll try and make them relate to P90X at least a little. At the very least it's the P90X program that sparked this entire blog, so that makes everything P90X related... right?

Finally, I want to thank Antonio Lubetti for his code snippets at his Woork blog. His examples were clear and concise and enabled me to put in the deli.cio.us and Digg links with little trouble. My next larger project is going to be a full redesign of this template since it's driving me nuts. If you see changes and something breaks, just let me know :)
