I’m pretty excited about the news that Gold’s Gym has chosen Starling Fitness as one of its approved blogs. That might not sound like a big deal, but they’ve only chosen six blogs, so I’m feeling pretty happy about it. You can see the list here:

• Gold’s Gym – Approved Blogs

They’re trying to choose blogs that promote healthy weight, exercise and lifestyle, so it’s no wonder Starling Fitness fits in there. Of course, I haven’t really exercised regularly at a gym for years. I ended up bringing the treadmill, exercise bike and weight bench to the new house and we have our own gym now. Even when we were incredibly short on square footage, we managed to fit the treadmill into a corner of the house.

Whether you exercise at a gym or at home, the important thing is to workout regularly. It’s nice to know that Gold’s Gym agrees with that philosophy.

I am totally stoked to announce that I’ve been chosen to speak at the Utah Open Source Conference this year.

• UTOSC 2009 | (Afford|Scal|Reli)Ability – Home

These are my presentations:

• UTOSC 2009 | Open Source Basics: What are you a bunch of hippies?
• UTOSC 2009 | Intermediate GIMP: Face Swapping
• UTOSC 2009 | Advanced GIMP: The Digital Diet

You may remember my entries about Face Swapping and The Digital Diet. I’ll be presenting these in person at the conference and showing you how to create your weight loss goal photos on your own using the open source (and FREE) software GIMP, so if you live in the Utah area, it would probably be very helpful for you to attend my demonstrations.

Hope to see you there!
