Saw this on Mike’s linkblog and was amused that this is the 3rd time in 3 weeks that completely separate people have raised the idea of large-distance solar system scale models with me. My FIL was working on convincing me to do this with geocaches.
Someone (who didn’t want attribution) sent me this link and I felt the need to share it with you. It’s better to practice on the trainer than look for volunteers.

And, my weight chart. Note that I had a setback, which can directly be traced to Wednesday night’s long-planned Lebanese dinner at Opa on Federal Hill in Providence. (menu) Restaurants are diet killers. Before the Thursday morning weighing, I didn’t think one meal could set you that far off. Yowch.
Jason Freeman’s iTunes signature maker makes a musical signature from your iTunes favorites/most played tracks. My iTunes signature is a mish-mosh of some of my favorite tracks, and it’s weird to hear them jumbled together like that.
Note: the running average on the weight graph doesn't register the spike all that much. So, in the long run, one meal doesn't really make that much of a difference. But it does temporarily halt (and possibly reverse) the weight loss trend.
Funny, the three of us must think in the same cycles. The Museum of Science exhibit came to mind when I walked by an unrelated sculpture in Harvard Square the other day.
