Well, a tentative surgery date, anyhow. I met with Lisa, my patient advocate, on Tuesday and assuming I can complete my doctor supervised diet on March 1st — and there are no hangups with insurance — I’ll have WLS on March 23. I’m excited and nervous. Now I just need to make up my mind whether I’ll have … Read the rest of this item

The BookArc for iPad is a thing of beauty. It’s gorgeous to look at and a perfect companion for the iPad. If you’re considering getting the Apple iPad dock, skip it. Get this instead. It works in portrait or landscape. It’s sturdy. It doubles as a halfpipe for pixies when turned upside down. You need it.

Simply replace post_type = ‘listing’ with whatever you’ve named your custom post type. Then, to get the number to display somewhere on your page, simply … Read the rest of this item

8-Point Flower is the first of several pattern packs I’ll be releasing over the next few weeks. (If you like these, please let me know!) It’s inspired by Islamic geometric patterns (which are pretty fascinating/incredible, I might add). The zip file contains: 6 PNGs (2 transparent versions not shown); Adobe Illustrator CS5 (.ai) files — single block … Read the rest of this item

Hop on over to the OnWired blog where I’ve posted a brief tutorial on how to start working with variables and data sets in Photoshop. When I spoke in front of RefreshColumbia/CAUG a couple of months ago, I showed a brief demo of how to do this and many in attendance didn’t know this was possible with Photoshop. (If you … Read the rest of this item
Officially I’m down 17.2 lbs overall, but I didn’t weigh-in this past weekend. (I’m certain I’ve gained since last weigh-in.) I’ve started making excuses for myself. I haven’t been active. I’ve been feeling pretty defeated. WeightWatchers works, but I haven’t kept track of my Points, and I’ve allowed myself to cheat far too often. When you’re losing a pound … Read the rest of this item
