Even though I happened to see the earlier similar comment about Rick, I fail to see where Marc was going with that comment. In any case, it was nice to provoke a response from such a legendary figure, even if he has de-railed his train of thought :) I have reason to believe that Brave Sir Robin is a fictional character in a certain movie, and as such, incapable of posting on blogs.

I don't care what Hani thinks - my attitude about blogging is "This blog is a personal diary... not a magazine..." and I mean to use my blog as forum to build up my fitness story as a product that I can turn into profit. I would have responded sooner but it's been a tough week. I've been taking shifts at the hospital and doing child care... I don't know which end is up. But anyway, now that my Dad is over and watching TV, I plan to blog more about the details of my personal exercise and diet routine and sprinkle in the occasional JSF+Spring + jobs propaganda. Hey, what do you all think of those new headshots I put up on my blog? especially the one with the silly expression on my face? They are so funny! I couldn't stop laughing when I made those pics.

We now Provide support and implementation services to organizations around open source middleware.

Thanks for giving me your valuable feedback on JRake on infoq. I'd like to apologize to the Java community for being such a prick. Just a quick reminder... I'm delivering a Rails/TDD training session (for Obtiva) at the end of January in San Francisco. This class has already met minimum requirements and will happen. Here's an actual quote from the manager of the last team I spent a week training: The class went very well due to Obie's patience, flexibility, and willingness to bring the team up to speed. From my experience, having had to "bootstrap" many team with custom classes, Obie is an ideal instructor for the stage that we are in. The main reason why you should choose this training over similar offerings from other providers is that me and the guys at Obtiva actually spend most of our time doing real, hardcore Rails development. Training is just a small side business for us. I promise you that you will leave my class ready to do kick ass Rails development for your clients and employers!

After all, since no one is listening to me rant and rave about Spring, JSF, and Hibernate, I figured my weight-loss story would be just as interesting. I was kinda thinking of taking my story on the road and doing those infomercial specials you see on PBS during fundraisers. I just need to write a book about my weight loss techniques... ah, I can see it now ... all the money rolling in as I add in the cost of my program (in Book, Audio CD, and/or DVD) to the cost of your pledge...sigh. Oh well, cheerio! Check me out! I'm fit as a fiddle now! Love, Rick PS: Never ever forget to 'Shizzle my nizzle' suckas! I really must protest this blog entry Hani.
