I empathize with the contestants. At one time, I was seventy pounds overweight. I slowly lost twenty pounds over three years. Then, three years ago, spurred on by the show, I got serious. In six months I lost over forty pounds through diet and exercise. A lot of both. My wife (and weight loss partner) lost over thirty pounds. Now, I’ve gained some, but not all, back. No matter the amount you want to lose, it can be very difficult....
Related Snow Leopard comes with the brand new QuickTime called X (Ten). Trying to create a screencast has been one of my to-do-later items.

Then I remembered, “Ah, yes… I have to buy that second hard drive to back up my data.” Activating it requires no rocket science. Just go to the System Preferences and press Time Machine. However, Time Machine can’t work with MS-DOS (FAT) formatted drives....
Related I’ve almost had enough of all those fantasy MMORPG’s. However, the internet just gave me another reason to keep going. With new questing systems, exciting worlds and hideous monsters. Read our review of Dungeons & Dragons Online - Eberron Unlimited, and give it a shot. Yes, it’s most definitely worth it. The game, then still working under the monthly subscription strategy, didn’t live up to expectations. Three years later, Dungeons & Dragons Online relaunches with Eberron Unlimited....

Related Twitter- the most popular micro-blogging platform available today. I’m a proud member of Twitter and I tweet on an almost hourly basis. In fact, it was this last tweet which I made yesterday that inspired me to write this article. I am what you could call a “low-tech tweeter”. There is noWi-Fiand no 3G. Yet, I still tweet while on the move with photos, links and status updates. I would like to demonstrate a few low-tech ways to Twitter from a cell phone....

Related I have to admit, I’ma calendar addict. Why do I love it? There are several reasons. First, it’s highly customizable. Third, I really, really like how cool it looks.
