Is it still winter?

I can't believe how cold it has been recently. While I was in Vienna on my last trip, returning on March 17, there were a few days when it snowed! Even in the last week I was there, the high temperatures were generally around 1-2C (low 30s F), just barely above freezing.

Then when I do get back to Dallas, which had extremely warm temperatures while I was away (even as high as 34C/93F), except for one day, the highest temperature so far on days I've been back has been around 13-14C (57F). Even now, the temperature is about 5C (42F) in the early afternoon with the average high this time of year should be around 21C (70F)!

Ugh! This doesn't really help my motiviation for exercising.

Voltage, schmoltage...

Argh! For the second time, I have ruined my electric razor by plugging it in to recharge but forgetting to switch it to 240V... You would have thought that I would have learned after the first time..

What the...

Michael recommended the book/movie "What the Bleep Do We Know!?"

For photography tips, he suggested that it makes the picture more interesting if you take the picture from a view which is not normally seen. For example, take a picture from your normal height is rather "boring" because you always see things from that vantage point. However, taking a picture from an extremely low viewpoint may make the picture more interesting.

In addition, when framing the picture, the interesting part of the picture should be on the outer third of the frame. This is known as the Golden Cut. Here is an interesting article about the Golden Cut.
