Revelations

slackmistress posted about the Kay County, OK, Pit Bull Rescue group, Bad Rap today. Recently, they saved over a hundred doggies from a horrible nightmare of a life. Don't go to the Flickr set if you're feeling even slightly emotional or delicate today. There's nothing gross or anything, just heart-wrenching. Oklahoma Pit Bull Rescue Photos. As slackmistress phrased it, "Dogs frequently branded as killers, as dangerous, as evil, who had been tossed away like garbage and left to suffer? Greeted them like this":


Baroooooo!

adammaker posted a reference to the book Mindless Eating on his LJ. I know I'm habitually guilty of this. I eat at my desk all the time. I need to stop that. To achieve that goal, though, I must make modifications to my daily schedule. If I don't eat breakfast at my desk, but I still want to exercise before I go to work, am I willing to get up thirty minutes earlier so I have time to eat breakfast before heading up the hill ? That'd put my wake-up call at 5:30 a.m. That sounds miserably early, especially this time of year. But if waking up thirty minutes earlier every day (or at least five days a week) would add years to my life, surely that's worth it, yes? I've been following the Fight Aging blog (LJ RSS feed found here) and it's showing me that the habits which are going to age me the most all have to do with food. The other stuff--happiness, low stress, activity--I've got the right angle on all those. My eating habits though, not so great. I am an emotional eater and I don't often pay attention when I'm eating. I might be eating healthfully the majority of the time, but if I'm reading or watching a movie or emailing while I'm eating, that's a problem. So, new goal. Mindful Eating.

And for anyone who still doesn't believe that porn drives the tech industry, I give you an article from yesterday's issue of the Sunday Times: What a turn-on: science develops bionic sex chip.
