The Hobbit: The Tolkien Edit | Peter Jackson’s Hobbit trilogy recut into a single 4-hour film – Interesting! I would like to see that. I did laugh when I read this bit about one of the additional cuts s/he went back to make: “taking out the Bombur “barrel bounce” (which is apparently the bane of some people’s existence)”.
Huh. I just realised that I used “he” in the original version of this post, automatically assuming that it would be a guy who did this. That bothered me. I changed it.

@myceliumme_CC @spartakan @aammeloot TBH I was grumbling about “questioners” after a non-tech book signing talk who just rambled inanely.
@myceliumme_CC @spartakan @aammeloot There’s a big difference between that and actually asking for people to volunteer their experiences!

‘Fifty Shades of Grey’-inspired burger returns to UK pub – NY Daily News – I’ll be honest. My first thought was, “What, does it have LUBE ON IT?”
I’m getting to the stage of weight loss now where people are really starting to comment on it. (13.3kg so far.) Above is a graph of my daily weigh-ins since January of 2014. I have a Fitbit Aria scale, but simply using Fitbit’s dashboard can be confusing because the numbers jump a lot. That’s why I also use TrendWeight to pull in the data and give me a smooth trendline from a rolling average. It makes it a lot easier to visualise whether a big jump (and as a lady, I can easily jump a kilo or more in 24 hours) is just a momentary blip or part of a larger trend.
While I did start 2014 on a health kick determined to shed some weight, I can’t claim that all of what happened was intended. I got a big promotion that February and spent the next six months working my ass off (pretty literally). It wasn’t particularly healthy, in that I was often skipping meals. I had trips to the US in April and June that threw off my routines as well. Fortunately by September things had evened out and I was pretty constant. My weight was starting to creep up by the end of the year though, which is why I’ve recommitted to Whole30. I feel really good. My knees are hurting less. And though I really miss alcohol and the occasional bit of dairy, I’m starting to think I really should stay as close to this going forward as I can. It suits me. I’m still firmly in the “overweight” BMI category, but at the rate I’m going, I won’t be there for very much longer…

The Old Reader: behind the scenes – What The Old Reader Readers Are Reading – I wonder to what extent Flipboard has further cannibalised RSS usage? I’ll admit that I actually read Flipboard more, just because it looks a lot nicer.
@Alegrya I love my Aria scales!
@Alegrya I recommend using Trendweight: https://t.co/ZI3ISc3or1. It does a rolling average and smooths out to show the trends.
@Alegrya And it works perfectly with Fitbit! 🙂
