Tu’s Life on the Super Dimension Fortress.

So, I work out… Pretty religiously… I might even say I was a “bodybuilder” of sorts… I do enjoy the iron after all. I try to eat right… You know, all of the stuff you’re supposed to do, and I’m in pretty good shape… Just not “ripped”

Well, I’m going to get ripped… This is it…

The Tu Holmes Fiscal Year 2009 1st Quarter Get Ripped for Summer program is here!

I’m doing the diet, I’m doing the cardio for at least an hour a day 5 days a week, and I’m doing all of the proper supplementation. I’m going to get ripped. It’s been awhile and since summer is coming and I turn 33 in July, I’m going to do it.

I once read, “You’ll never have a better day to get what you want than today.” So, today I’m getting ripped… I’m using the ketogenic diet. This diet is is designed so that when carbohydrates are severely restricted, the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies. This will allow the ketone bodies to pass into the brain and replace glucose as an energy source.

Generally speaking, many bodybuilders use this to get ripped for stage and I’m thinking it will be an interesting experiment to try out for myself.

I’ll keep you posted!

Well, it’s Sunday Morning, early here on the West Coast… Early on the East Coast… It’s just early everywhere, unless you’re in Australia or something… Ok, maybe the UK also.

Not the point… Do I even have a point? Well… not really. I just wanted to say happy Easter… I wanted to say Happy Easter to Lance and Mackenzi… I miss you guys. More than you will ever know or understand. I love you both so very much and days like today make the fact that you’re a continent away that much harder to deal with.

These days hurt very, very much.

I know I sent you both some Easter gifts, and I wish I could have sent myself. I would love to be right there with you right now. I love you both so very very much.

Nothing will ever take your places in my heart and I will forever be better having you both in my life.

I want you to have a safe and happy Easter. Eat lots of chocolate and be good… Just until I can get with you and teach you how to be bad properly.

I love you, and Happy Easter!

So, I use a lot of different computers throughout the day.

One is a older Dual CPU G5 PowerMac that I use for most of my day, then I have a Dell XPS 1710 Laptop that I dual boot Fedora 8 and Windows Vista (It’s going to be the standard for most people soon enough I suppose… eww), and I also have a Dell XPS Tower I use at home… It runs Fedora 8 as well.

I also try to blog from time to time right? Well, I found a great piece of Software for the Mac called “Ecto” by a company called “Infinite Sushi” (cool name) . You can find it here. I like it a lot.

Like I said though, I use a linux PC a lot at home and I’ve been looking for a good piece of blogging software for it as well. Well, I did find one… I don’t know how good it is of course, as this is the first post to test with it, but we’ll see.

It’s called “The Drivel Journal Editor”, or as I refer to it… Simply “Drivel”. You can find it at http://www.dropline.net/drivel/.

It’s pretty simple… You setup your blogging preferences and you log in… It’s got a pretty easy interface. (How much do you need just to type stuff and push it to a page right?)

This is the first post with it… What do you think?

I’ll even drop in an image to see how it hands those.

Here’s the kids!
