Arnold says “Don’t do drugs”

Highly recommend the film “Bigger, Stronger, Faster.”  Fascinating, informative (for me at least), thought-provoking, and at times disgusting, enraging and depressing.

And it’s not just about anabolic steroids.   Though it consciously lacks a singular point of view or judgment (those of you who hate Michael Moore will appreciate this), it shines a bright light on some questionable aspects of (American) culture, including its preoccupation with body image (and its evolution over the last several decades) and its glorification of winners (and corresponding disdain for losers).

The Secret In’N'Out Menu of Technology

I just discovered the ability to use ClearType to make text look smoother and beautiful on the computer screen.  If you use an older PC like me, do yourself a favor and turn it on.  It’s like switching to HD for text, and I can’t believe it’s been hidden from me for so long.

Another beautiful secret menu item is the 30-second fast-forward button on the Comcast remote control (which you have to program yourself).  Almost as wonderful as the not-s0-secret but oft overlooked instant replay button.

Now for a burger, animal style extra toast with some well-done fries.

Last regrets
