My problem with blue apron is with all the waste/trash generated by their packaging. I tried their services and the recipes were ok — although for someone that likes to cook or is a more experienced cook, their service is not worth it.

The UI Health Care Marketing and Communications Web Team provides support for the major consumer facing web properties of UI Health Care, mainly uihc.org and uichildrens.org. We are a small team that keep things interesting by working on a diverse range of projects. We are looking for a talented web developer to join us, on site in Iowa City. Most of the work consists in building new features and fixing bugs on the two Drupal 7 websites mentioned above. There is quite a bit of interaction with non-technical peers and you should be comfortable communicating and providing support to people with different backgrounds and skillsets. Well-qualified candidates will have strong development and problem solving skills and an exceptional ability to communicate highly technical concepts to any audience. The ideal candidate will also have experience with all aspects of the lifecycle of a web application: wireframing, design, frontend & backend coding.

We're evaluating PM solutions and Workmajig is one of the contenders. Do you mind sharing your experience with it?

You just need to find something that you like doing and doesn't feel like a chore. For me it's soccer - I would play every day if given a chance (too bad that my wife wouldn't agree with that though). It's so much fun that I play even if I'm injured and know I shouldn't.

I also go to the gym 4-5 times a week. This is harder to get into. What works for me is going over lunch time. It's a 10 minute walk to my gym and I spend about 35-40 minutes there lifting weights. I would probably go less if I had to go after work as I am usually tired and I have a 40 min commute. If you're looking into starting to lift weights I recommend doing StrongLifts 5x5 - It's beginner friendly.
