30 days

So have you heard of Morgan Spurlock? If not, he's the guy who released the drama "Supersize Me", where he ate McDonald's for every meal for 30 days. It documented the traumatic results of that diet.

He then went on to do a few seasons on Fx doing all different things for 30 days.

And I like the idea. So I'm adopting it.

I have given up drinking (started yesterday officially 9/9/09). Now, I'm by no means an alcoholic, but I do enjoy a glass of wine (or 5) or a few beers on a frequent basis. In addition I spent A LOT of time in college (like the majority of college students) out at bars, or parties.

Since I have a goal of running another half-marathon this year it's time to really get back into running and working out hard 6 days a week. This should give me the boost I need to drop a few pounds and make working out more effective.

I'll be keeping you posted on my progress and the social situations I encounter along the way.

Anything you want to try?

I've stopped drinking beer. I'm still having the odd glass of wine in company, but no more random beers during the week.

Good luck with the change!

I'd like to stop doing dishes, but I think if I did the house would be a bit smelly. I can't think of anything else off the top at the moment. I like my bad habits generally speaking.

I'd like to try smoking opium but I hear it's hard to find these days.

Nice post... Looks like solid-state memory is really beginning to become more popular. Hopefully we'll start seeing a drop in SSD prices in the near future. Five dollar 32 GB SDs for your Nintendo DS flash card... imagine that!
