My friend Hugh McGuire asked me if there were any privacy concerns with OpenID. Since this is kind of a complex question, I decided to answer it with an essay, OpenID Privacy Concerns, which I think is pretty useful to anyone thinking about using OpenID.
Weight weight don't tell meSo, I'm in Los Altos at my parents' house for the holidays, and I've been working out at the Page Mill YMCA. Today I went in for my last weight-lifting session of the year. I also weigh myself on weight-lifting days (about once every 4 days), so this was my last weigh-in of the year, too.
I'm glad to say that I've now got a body mass index of 29.4 -- down from a measured value of 38 in September. That was a little bit under my goal weight for the year-end, which was nice to hit. It's been a really precipitous drop in weight and increase in fitness this year, which I've been pretty proud of.
There's still more ahead -- a "normal" weight is about 25. But I'm feeling healthier, and I look better, than I have in years and years. I think 2008 will see a slower weight loss, more stabilization, and exploration of some different sports and activities to keep the exercise fresh.
