Things are actually going good! I’m pretty surprised at how little I’m eating - the food is filling and low on calories, so I’m having no trouble maintaining a 1650 calorie a day diet, something that would have required a considerable amount of exercise previously.

As you can see from the rightmost green line in this plot from Fit, I’m pretty comfortably below my target calories per day. I feel good, too.

My boyhood friend George, who still lives in Anchorage, asked me to do some iPhone UI review with him today and I snatched this picture while we were talking.

He is a *great* guy and I feel lucky to be beta testing his new app for him. I think it’s going to be a big winner for him.

The fact that Wordpress is now available on the iPhone has dramatically changed the way that I write.

I write code and lead a team of engineers. When I’m at a computer I’m supposed to be writing code, emails, etc. Writing a blog is necessary but also something that I don’t really have enough time to do well. As a consequence of this my writing has either been terse, or sporadic, of both.

Since I set up Wordpress on my phone I’ve noticed a big shift in my writing style. I can nurse along a work in progress in my spare time, or at times like now, when I can’t really sleep.

Suddenly I have the time to focus and make these posts the way they should be, because now I can take them out and keep working on them at any time and place that I have a few minutes of downtime.

I am currently working on about 4 posts, one of which is quite long. Wordpress on my iPhone has made me a much more prolific and deliberate writer. I suggest checking it out if you haven’t already.
