From the “I am losing weight” Dept.

I admit it. I was gaining a massive amount of weight during the last 3 months of 2001. I’m not going to deny that. So I had Lunch with Laura (ex-girlfriend/best friend) today and she said I had lost weight. That’s good. She said that I looked horrible the last time she saw me: Christmas of 2001.

Thanks Laura,

you Rock.

Right now I’m about 158 lbs. I’m trying to lose about 15-20 lbs of fat (running regularly, “resistance training”, and eating “within reason”).

From the “return of Mr. Michael Kurtz” Dept.

Well, my boss Michael Kurtz is visiting the office this week. That’s good.

Mike is brilliant at what he does. He’s an artist, an industrial designer, Human Factors specialist, programmer, and all around great guy. You don’t meet too many people like that anymore—kind of a digital man for all seasons. He typifies the “dot.com” era in my eyes.

I’m glad to have worked with him.

Cheers,

Tai
