I have put in a string of late work nights which has left me somewhat disoriented. Full on writing on Beginning WebGL for HTML 5 continues while I am working my normal hours during the day.
I finished another chapter this morning (the first draft anyway) and it feels good whenever I put the initial ideas for a chapter through to a cohesive state. It is worth the effort.

as far as new year's, weight loss and that rigamarole, we are currently supplementing going to a gym (when it is minus 40 as it was this past week, it can be hard to want to leave the house) bu following a program that i found on the net called one hundred pushups. The idea is simple and we are also doing the situp and squat ones.

Here are two images of my desktop computer setup. It took me a few months to get all of the components, but since a large portion of my time is spent here, it was definitely worthwhile. My vision when buying the components was to focus on ergonomics (no cheaping out on this cost) and not buying a cutting edge system (saving some money here). A good chair is very important and lasts years. In comparision, a very powerful computer system is obtainable for around $600 and will be near obsolete soon enough.

A lot has/is happening in the past month. We found out that our good friend Vince is moving to Calgary which is sad but exciting for him. He shall be missed : (
I went to Orange County for a few days to meet with a client, networx online. It was good to meet the people I have been remotely working with for a couple of months now.
