Two options for getting around the MLB local area blackout regulations. Both require the MLB.tv subscription, which is $25 / month for high def. (BTW, if you haven't tried MLB.tv, it's really a great product. Many PS3/BlueRay type players have an app for it, too)

1) MLB.tv experimented with a local area only package here in San Diego last year. $20 / mo for just the Padres. 2) Rather than that, I simply used one of my VPS' in another region to create an SSH tunnel through which to route the MLB.tv signal. They use your IP, not your billing address, to determine access.

HN comes through again! Thanks guys, those are my thoughts exactly!

Exercise at least 1 hour per day, 4-5 days per week. You may begrudge the time in the gym, but I've found that an hour of exercise can replace an hour of sleep -- so you're not really out any time, you're just in pain for that hour ;).

I find zombies uninteresting. They don't really provide anything to a story, other than a thing to run away from. Especially the recent biozombie movement -- the lesson here is "you cannot fight the zombies forever." Eventually you either have to hide, or you will become a zombie.

Not particularly uplifting; the idea is that you HAVE to give in to other people's base instincts, or else you must retreat from life. It's really just an adaptation on an Atlas Shrugged type theme.
