Got HTC Evo & Google Voice this week
by ShadwMan on Jun.10, 2010, under Tech
Its been a good technology week for me. I ordered a HTC Evo 4G this week and it showed up the next day. My request for Google Voice came cruising into my email inbox the next day after that.
Google must have some type of notification that once you get hook into their clutches beyond critical mass they just start throwing “cookies” at you.
I actually got a Google Voice number that has the same last 4 digits as my cell phone. I might actually use it now.
Skiff Reader is starting to look like vaporware
by ShadwMan on Mar.25, 2010, under Rant
The longer Hearst wastes time allowing their e-reader languish on the vine the more they make it seem as though it actually is vaporware. The logic behind allowing all the rumors and news posts generate without a pricing structure or release date for any of their products the more or looks like they were yanking our chain without an actual way to release their product to the market.
Trying an In-Town Vacation for my birthday….
by ShadwMan on Mar.05, 2010, under Blog
Never really like celebrating my birthday so I decided to try something a bit different.
I usually jump on Amtrak and head down to New Orleans, but I decided to explore my own city for a weekend. Doing to whole hotel and everything.
Kind of serves as a bit of a mental help break before another week at work (if its still there).
Wish me luck.
Okay… I hate it when people talk about anything with the word leftist included in it.
by ShadwMan on Jan.16, 2010, under Rant
Yeah… I know I’m talking about myself. Basically I just watched a video from some mental midget geek talk about how leftists were…. well… He didn’t know. He just rambled like Sarah Palin on speed for about five (5) minutes about how leftist were being leftist and getting with other leftists to do leftists stuff…
All I can recommend is choking on your own tongue when something that stupid comes out of your mouth… Go back to school and figure out what you’re talking about before the green poo that you’re spewing chokes you and we “citizens” have to kick out into the gutter with the other trash…
Stupid people make me want to hit them really, really hard…
I think I’m going to need alcohol or some other “anger management therapy” now…
Well time to go back on the diet. Wish me good luck…

I’ll be going back on my diet today because… well… its the new year and its time. I don’t want bigger pants. I’ll start tomorrow and get myself back in a good boy mode.
Changing my little blog… As if anyone actually cared…

Just posting that the general theme of this thing won’t be limited to health issues because its been brought to my attention that I have “anger issues”
Apparently I need a place to get things out of my head so they won’t rattle around, as Lewis Black describes it, until I have a stroke. Some things just need to be extricated from enclosed spaces like the cranium.
What is Cholesterol?
by ShadwMan on Oct.12, 2009, under Cholesterol
Interesting article about cholesterol. I find it very curious though that they recommend a startling amount of processed foods. They even make most of it sound as though it would be healthy. They would even recommend “Liquid or tub margarines” as though they were healthy in any way, shape or form.
Sometimes I think we’re screwed… (Seasonal flu shot may increase H1N1 risk)

Sometimes I think that its all a conspiracy to make us so sick that we need the crap that they are selling…
Is cholesterol NOT really a killer?
by ShadwMan on Sep.24, 2009, under Cholesterol
Found an interesting article while looking for information on the relevance of cholesterol levels in relation to general health. It calls into question the relevance of statistical information with regards to statin drugs and lowering cholesterol.
The story can be found on the examiner.com at the following link:
My doctor’s office is nutz
by ShadwMan on Sep.04, 2009, under Cholesterol
After a couple of days of research I decided call my doctor to get a copy of the report for my cholesterol. Big as day is tells me that my specimen was lipemic. It also says my triglyceride were 1562 and my total cholesterol was 333. If my triglyceride were 1562 how the heck can my total cholesterol be only 333.
One of the things that I found during my research was that I was supposed to fast before I went to take my work-up. I had just eaten breakfast and lunch prior to my going into the doctors office. It basically makes my labs look like I’m about to fall over and die where I was standing.
They actually prescribed me medication based on this report.
I am going to have to call them and ask them to redo the test so that I can get a confirmation of what they are telling me.
