For your life in motion, you need a water that does more. Propel goes beyond hydration to provide flavor and choline* for a great-tasting beverage with purpose. *Choline is an essential nutrient in the brain.
The fact that stuck out the most was choline being an essential nutrient of the brain. I was curious how nutritious and went on a fact finding expedition. Of course I headed right over to Wikipedia and found the article. I figured out that it’s 55MG of choline per server of 8FL OZ. in a 20FL OZ bottle so that’s 2.5 servings and a total of 137.5MG of choline per bottle. 550MG is the upper limit of adequate intake for this. It is also noted that too much intake can cause you to smell like a fish.
Let’s see what that means then. I’m not certain how much it takes to smell like a fish but choline is found in other foods like eggs and wheat germ. So a typical day for a person could be 2 eggs in the morning, wheat germ in the yogurt for lunch and 4-6 bottles of propel. The person is thinking they are doing a good thing drinking “water”. Once in a while they eat a meal that is high in choline as well. This could be giving the person around 1000MG of choline a day! That’s twice as much!! I think you would begin smelling like a fish any day now.
This is besides the other junk in the drink like high froctuse corn syrup, sucrolose, AND acesulfame potassium. All three are different kinds of sweetners. When drinking flavored “water” or any other drink that’s giving you important nutrients just make sure you know what you’re getting yourself into.
I have for a while pondered using a separate email client for accessing my mail. I can see the benefits but with Gmail increasing its features everyday I just can’t make the switch.
Using a client all your email is stored on your own home computer and all your contacts are very handy. I already use Firefox and love all the addons along the same lines I could enjoy Thunderbird. (Note: all the outlook people need to get on the Thunderbird bandwagon now!) Thunderbird also integrates well with Sunbird, a calendar application. If Thunderbird is so great why can’t I just make the switch? Well it’s not that simple! Gmail has been in beta for 5 years, that’s a long time, but it’s service has always been amazing. Constant uptime, new features, and huge storage. I remember when getting an email account with 10MB was amazing. right now Google is telling me “You are currently using 256 MB (3%) of your 7316 MB.” Holy crap! At this rate I’m never running out of space. The labels and offline features are changing the way people use email and if I already have a web browser open at all times why should I run another program?
Instant access on my phone or through the web Gmail is always there. I’ve tried to think on multiple occasions why to switch and I’m still stumped. I think I’m letting this one go. Now if only I could get rid of Lotus Notes.
I know, I know. I’ve not been updating the site, I seem to move from one site to another. I’ve got twitter which is really as good a blog as I need. Considering I just don’t have much to say and every time I try and keep this going it fails. I don’t see how people twitter and then write on a blog. Perhaps they have people that read the blog but they don’t talk to them on the phone. Maybe I’ll think of some new crazy idea to put here or I’m wide open to suggestions. I already have another project here for http://wheresgeorge.com which is http://pepptastic.com/george.
I think a photo album thing is out, flickr does such a good job without me. There are too many other sites that do whatever I need already. I’ll just post links to each of them on the front page. Oh Social networking how you ruin the need for me to have a website.
I’ve been using twitter a lot more these days and not posting here. It’s easier to put in what I’m doing and it’s only 140 characters. If I littered this area with those besides having in the bar —> right over there it would probably get very annoying.
Anyway I’ve been trying to make a screencast in Ubuntu. I have to admit that there are only two things I have found nearly impossible to do in Linux. Making a screencast is definitely one of those two. First I had to find software to record my screen, I wanted a GUI just to make it easier on myself. I found “recordmydesktop” to be suitable and it records audio and you can choose to have it record only part of the screen.
Editing it together with myself talking through the video as a normal screencast should have, has proven to be more difficult. There is no good editing software available for Linux and with other pure screencasting applications for Windows that can record and edit with some amazing features I have to admit defeat. I can’t believe how difficult this has been and I am finally at the point where I must complete my mission. I have one program that is too basic and the other too complicated. Where is a programmer when you need one to write a copy of a good Windows application? Oh wait…
I have been known to take an accidental nap here and there but I swear it isn’t my fault. The server room at work must be the best generator of natural white noise in south Jersey. I’ve been nudged and made aware of me falling asleep in the server room on more than one occasion. I’ve also been caught by a coworker while I was really out. I tell them that it isn’t my fault and that the servers are must be creating some sort of “super” white noise that I cannot resist. They seem to agree that it is some very potent sound. I don’t think I’m going to be in any sort of trouble over this, although it seems to amuse some people.
I’ve made an attempt to capture the raw power of the sound however it isn’t my fault if transferring it to digital medium made it lose all of its strength. I did not listen to the sample because I’m afraid of falling sleep and waking up hours later. I’ve found out from my lawyers that I have to put up a warning label just in case anything happens.
WARNING: This sound clip may put you to sleep. I hold no responsibility for anything happening to you or anything around you while you are out cold. If you miss the chance to feed your cat, turn off the oven, or are so asleep people mistake you for in a coma/dead you can bring no legal action against me. Server Room Noise
This looks simply awesome. I’m getting really tired of all the movies that are just remakes or reboots or whatever they’re called now. So many movies coming out are just rehashes of the same bullshit someone put out 4 years ago. “That movie didn’t do well, let’s try again!” Perhaps there could be less movies released in general. Movie I’m not looking forward to: Beverly Hills Cop. Yes they’re making a new one of those too.
It’s a weird group activity that most people don’t like to partake. They feel the need to get wasted and get up there and break my hearing. Now don’t get me wrong I feel that their is some social qualities to karaoke. If you’re going to get up there on your own without the help of beer courage then I applaud you. Just please try and sing in your range.
I was recently at one of these karaoke nights and there was some people there that sang the “safe” songs. The songs I consider have a low voice and all the same tone where you could just hum along and it wouldn’t sound half bad. A few people chose to flaunt their non existent singing talent. One bitch even told a guy that he was off on some parts. What gives her the right!? I saw/heard her sing and it wasn’t much better. In fact sitting here now I wish I had taken a video because she was taking it waaay too serious. I still don’t understand public singing.
A movie coming out soon, Taken looks great. I might be a sucker for thrillers because they are the closest things to horror movies I can watch. This one seems to have a decent plot and some good acting. What more could I ask for? I can only hope it lives up to my expectations.
Right at this moment I worry about the safety of my ass. How am I suppose to go in to the bathroom and feel comfortable doing my business? If you move the slightest bit away the from the flushing sensor *whoosh!* it’s flushing and you’re getting wet. I’m definitely not exaggerating the real flushing horsepower of this toilet. The water is moving so fast it splashes out of the bowl and onto an unsuspecting user. So that means you can’t lean forward or stand up or move at all. Once that sensor is set there can be absolutely no movement, none(I hope I’m clear here). I’ve often arrived at the stall with some sort of cover pre installed over the sensor so obviously other people have this same problem.
Today I didn’t bring anything to protect myself against the sensor. Usually by the time I arrive the situation has already been taken care of. I managed to flush the toilet four times in a matter of minutues. It was a frightening experience!
The bathrooms at my place of employment to the untrained eye may seem inviting and clean. However, underneath the shine there is a complicated and scary world to traverse for the weary worker in need of some relief.
