Polaris IP filed a Lawsuit yesterday against
AOL, Amazon, Borders, Google, IAC, and Yahoo. They claim they hold the patent to basically processing email automatically with a computer.

The patent was filed in 1998, although according to a unix program name vacation they were doing this in ’83!:

The entire US Patent system is out of whack, we need some type of public review system for patents.

Ya so I haven’t been blogging about my diet.
It’s been going okay, I’m sometimes hungry thought.

Stats:

• 11 days I’ve went from 185 to 177.5 this morning!
• I’m eating healthy food.
• My nightly heartburn has vanished
• I don’t feel bloated all the time
• I’m not freakishly tired in the afternoons anymore

Now to start an exercise plan and get my cardiovascular system back in check!

I went to the Brazos Bend Observatory on Saturday with Derk, Effie, Ryan, Jill and Sammi to see the telescopes and possible meteor shower. We only saw like two meteors, but it was pretty cool still. I took a lot of long exposures with my Canon, a few turned out.

Starting a new diet today. It’s one of those “boost your metabolism” diets.

* Note: these are all very small portions.

Breakfast:
Yogurt with some cereal in it and blueberries

Snack:
One Celery stalk, with 1 tbsp peanut butter.

Lunch:
Tuna salad sandwich on whole grain wheat with a few pretzels on the side

Snack:
I’m eating carrots and cream cheese right now

Dinner:
I think we’re having some kind of fish

We’ll see how it goes, so far, so good. Oh and im only drinking water.

Ryan showed me this link. It pretty much sums up my last post. Check Savage Chickens for more!

Man this year is going by quick!

I got vacation in four more weeks, going a my first ever cruise. Hopefully it doesn’t suck!
