Get fit while you sit?
This story reports that researchers have found a pill that has the same effects of exercising…without having to do any pesky exercise!
Apparently after just taking a little dose, mice were able to run 44 percent longer on a treadmill than before taking the pill. Never having to work out one bit. And there’s some other pill that with a little exercise, they did 75% better.
Shoot! This might just be the thing I need to hold me over until they get those bionic implants all figured out!
Quick FYI.
I’m doing some changes to the technical side of the site here. If bgwillers.com dissapears in the next day or two for some reason, try to refresh. If that doesn’t work, it could be 24 to 48 hours before bgwillers.com works correctly again.

Who designs these things?
Well, I had a Wal-Mart gift card I had to use, so I walked all over the store, and couldn’t find a single thing I actually wanted. Ended up just using the card to buy some groceries! Ha ha. I guess that’s a good sign, I already have a lot of stuff I want.
But with the money I saved on groceries, I decided I could pick up this cool little multi-tool.
I ordered it from rockynational.com and would recommend ordering from them to anyone else. I placed my order on Thursday, and it arrived in the mail on Saturday! That’s speedy service. The quality of the tool is as good as somthing the size of a couple nail trimmers can be. I wouldn’t go to town on a rusty old bolt with this, but it should come in handy in those situations where you wish you had a knife or a simple pair of plier.
But some of the features of this thing leave me puzzled. Who had the checklist for this thing? Granted, many of the tools are sure to come in quite handy. The knife, the screwdrivers, the bottle opener. But what kind of guy that’s looking for a nice all purpose tool, is going to be gung ho about the NAIL FILE and the TWEEZERS? Okay, I’ll give the tweezers a pass, as this could come in handy for the outdoorsman who happens to get a splinter. But a nail file? Really. “OH YAY. My utlity tool and manacure set finally arrived!” Such a waste of a slot on my multi-tool.

Seriously. Can you not hook a printer up just to print? Do you really need ink monitoring levels, a photo processing center, newsletter, and automatic updates? All I want to do is print a document once in a while.
Maybe I’ve been out of the old school hardware scene for a while, but it took a good 30 minutes to install the driver and all the damn software for an old HP3900 here at work. Surely there’s some third party drivers out there that you can install to give you basic printing functions, that don’t bog down this already bogged down hardware!
