How much water should I drink?
by me on May.29, 2008, under Uncategorized
Dear sweet lord!
I was reading on the interwebs somewhere that you should be drinking AT LEAST half your body weight in ounces of water. So for every 2 pounds of weight you should drink AT LEAST one ounce of water!!!
That’s a LOT of water for most people. I’m going to try to reach that requirement, but goodness. That’s quite a bit.
I’ll have to figure out how many glasses that is.

The co-workers wanted to go to lunch at a burger place near work.
Place: Fudruckers

Personal Development
by me on May.28, 2008, under Life, Self Improvement
So I need to come up with some personal development goals for the next 3 months. So here is what I came up with.
- Health and Body
- I want to be able to wear a size 32 pant and a small/medium t-shirt comfortably. Meaning that I don’t feel like I’m all poochy in them.
- I want to be able to run a 5k in a reasonable amount of time without stopping.
- I want to lose about 40 pounds. This one is flexible based on the size of my pants.
- I want to be able to do 3 sets of 30 pushups and pullups. Also, situps or crunches.
- Confidence
- For me this has to do with surrounding myself with positive people that validate me and my efforts. This is a little more difficult.
- I also need to know that I am great and all that stuff. So this one will evolve over the next few months.
- I’m not down on myself, but I need to be more confident about who I am and that there are people out there that share my views and such.
- Relationships
- I want a healthy relationship or relationships with more friends and people that will encourage and empower me.
- That means, no buying people things, taking care of myself first, surrounding myself with positive and dependable people.
- Not being codependent. I’m not usually this way, so I don’t think that will be a huge issue.
I think those are reasonable goals. I’ll keep them updated weekly.
Black Bean Hummus
by me on May.27, 2008, under Recipes
Went on a white water rafting trip and the guides had made this for us. This is my interpretation.
-
1 16oz Can Black Beans, drained
-
1/2 16oz can Chick Peas, drained
-
5-10 Kalamata, Green, or Greak Olives, to taste
-
Salt, to taste, the olives have a lot of sodium usually
-
1-2 tbsp of Tahini, to taste
-
1 clove Garlic
There are two ways of doing thing one.
-
Food Processor: this will produce a less smooth hummus.
-
Process the garlic in the food processor until minced.
-
Add the beans, process until a paste.
-
Add tahini, process until blended
-
Add Olives, process until blended
-
Add chick peas and blend until thickened.
-
-
Blender: makes for a very smooth hummus
-
Place all ingredients, except Chick Peas into blender, blend until smooth.
-
If the hummus is still soupy, add chick peas and blend until thickened.
-
Cross Site Scripting Prevention
by me on May.27, 2008, under Uncategorized
I think it would be pretty easy to remove the privileged access or trust from cross site scripting. Just put a trust level on each link on a page before a user clicks on that link. It will take a lot of rethinking they way we link together our pages and create these networks of links.
