Kickboxing Dilemma

Now that my finances are stabilized I want to get my exercise routine back on track and that means getting back into kickboxing :).

Here's my dilemma, there's two schools I'm stuck in between:

School #1:
* Cheaper
* More convenient (I save about 30-40 minutes of total commute time)
* The person who opened the school is a former teacher of mine so I know him well

School #2:
* Gives a much better work out, my body is used to the other place's workout
* Has different classes so there's a greater degree of variety

What do you think?

Back Up Your Computer

If you haven't already, please backup your computer.

I had a scare but luckily got a second chance and am now triple-backing everything.

External hard drives can be had very cheap now. There are also very cheap online services that do backup (I'm using a software called CrashPlan that's $4 a month).

At the very very least, email yourself any critical files, that way if you have a disk crash you can at least get them from the email.

Shame on You Subway

I probably visit Subway 2-4 times a month. No more, they've officially lost a customer. Here's why.

Ask Adam

I haven't done any Ask Adams in a long time. Ask me anything in the comments and I'll try to respond to a few in the next blog post!

Enjoy!

A Single Guy's Life...

A day in the life of a single guy:

Problem: No clean underwear

Solution: Rather than doing the laundry, handwash ONE pair and hang to dry for tomorrow :)
