The Office Diet (2) permalink
Do you promise yourself that you’ll fit in three gym sessions every week – and then end up working late every night? Do you have brief enthusiasm for the idea of jogging for an hour every morning – then have second thoughts when your alarm goes off at some unearthly hour? Are you just too busy to find a whole hour or two to exercise? The good news is that you don’t have to exercise ...Shared by George (3)Contribute comment - Lose weight while playing World of Warcraft? Wow! (1)

Screencasting: How To Start, Tools and Guidelines (125)
on
Smashing Magazine (821) permalink
By Adam Hay Some companies have made a living creating a sort of “virtual classroom,” allowing members to learn at their own pace when they have the time using video tutorials. The advantages of the classroom setting stem from a one on one experience and the ability of the instructor to show the ideas and theories rather than simply explain them.

Among geeks, fitness can be a touchy subject. Or perhaps more often an ignored subject. Not that there aren't fitness geeks out there, but let's be honest -- the stereotype of geeks as fat, or at least flabby, isn't as far from the truth as we might like it to be. I should know. Coming into this year, I weighed in at 245, mostly due to the "geek" aspect of my life. A tendency to ...Contribute comment -

Top Ten Web Typography Sins | Events | Smashing Magazine (110)
onBy Steven D. While many designers have been quick to embrace web standards, it’s surprising how often the basic standards of typography are neglected. Here are ten deadly sins to avoid in your web typography: 1. Using hyphens instead of an em dash If you need to interrupt yourself, do it with an em dash (alt+0151) instead of a pair of minus signs. This is a top pet peeve for countless editors. 2.

- Piotr O said: Useful. I'm guilty of all charge for #4, with a misdemeanor in #2.Strangely, some of these invoke childhood memories. I started using em dashes in Mr. Petrella's eighth grade class, when I did a book report on Timothy Findlay's The Wars. Findlay loves the em dash, and quoting the book etched "alt+0151" in my mind. Number 4, I picked up in Mr. Fedak's grade 5 class (he stress the necessity).
