Crossfit Games SoCal Sectional: Athlete Info
Just received some info about Sectionals coming up soon.
The workouts will be announced on Wednesday, March 10th, 12:00pm on www.crossfitla.com. Later they will be posted at the official Crossfit Games website.
Hmm… I wonder if I should look or not. I do better when I don’t know what’s coming. I like the unknown.

I might be digging myself into a hole soon. End of 8th week, 2 more to go. Then finals week.

Researchers Say Women Secretly Desire Scruffy... →
Yes, I knew it! Ladies, ladies, ladies, scruffy RunGeek is in the Hizouse.

General Stuff
First off, its really, REALLY, fast. My javascript runs quick on GMail, Google Reader, even on non-Google heavy javascript pages.
Bookmarks Sync is just nice. I have tried a few services...

Using a standard query language has become too confining
Your toolbox only contains a hammer
You really feel like protesting something, but all the really cool causes are full up

This week a 19-year old New Zealand student sold her virginity online to pay for her college tuition. She made $31,500 off the deal. There was also a 22-year old Sacramento State student who did the same thing.
