Hey Sailor: Wait Wait Don't Tell Me
I got this answer right on WWDTM this morning. The other choices were more plausible and less funny.

Diabetes Sucks, But My A1C Is 5.8
It’s a numbers game, and currently I’m on the winning side. My first A1C (long-term average blood glucose) came in at 5.8, down from 6.6 when I was diagnosed in December.
So that’s great, right? Yes, and despite the claims medical hucksters who’ll sell you a cure in a kit, I still have diabetes. It’s just well-controlled at the moment. I’m lucky that at this point it’s not advanced farther.
I’ve raised 1405.00 toward my goal of 2000.00 for the Tour de Cure charity ride, with just a month to go.
You can help me achieve that goal by visiting http://www.ridewithginny.com (checks cheerfully accepted if you ask for my address).
My longest ride so far is about 20 miles but bad weather on the weekends has cut into my training, though I’ve gotten in evening rides during the week (10 miles last night, partly with Vince Patrizi). I should be able to finish on the day, but I’d still like to log a 30 or 35 mile ride first.
Still, it’s been a long process getting to this point. My numbers are good; do you know yours?

Blender: Beginner Level Tutorials
Yes, I've played around a little bit with 3D modeling. These tutorials have been very helpful for getting my head around the concepts, if I only had time to actually do something with it. I do have my own stand-alone grid (a 3D environment similar to Second Life, but only for my use) but havent started it up in months. Still, I hope to play around with it some more.
Blender: Introduction to My Beginner Level Tutorials and an Overview of Blender Primitives
