I no longer feel bad about not updating the site that often. I don't do much that's news-worthy. I'll try to cover the last month here though.
I started playing golf again! Hadn't touched a club in several months, but the weather has been perfect lately, so I went out there. Shot a 44 for 9 holes my first time out, then an 81 (38/43) a couple days later on the same course. I'm really looking forward to more golf this summer - one of my golfing buddies in Tucson is coming back to the game after surgery, and his brother is going to be back up here this summer to work. Plenty of opportunities to play more! That said, I'm going to work on that web-based golf stats program I made a few months ago. I have a local test environment this time, so hopefully things will progress a little quicker. I plan on starting from scratch and planning it out, rather than just hacking the whole thing together as I learn php and mysql a little at a time.
A couple weeks ago I went to Speedway for the first time with some autocrossing friends - it was a blast! Not quite what I expected (in a good way). Results can be seen here. We're going again this weekend, so I hope to make a decent improvement.
Shortly after my last update I started the Atkins diet, and it's going pretty well so far. Today is the first day my scale has read less than 225lbs in a long time. My first goal is 215, then 200, then my driver's license weight of 190 (when I was 16 and only 5'11"). Eventually I'd like to get to around 175 or so.
