It’s that time of year to make earnest New Year’s resolutions about getting fit. We do it even though we know that we’ll probably stop showing up at the gym by February 1st.

But wait, here comes Twitter, making it harder to dream up excuses for not getting in shape and staying there. For example:

If you’re a smoker, you can enlist the help of Qwitter to quit the habit. This service, brought to you by Tobacco Free Florida, makes it easy to keep track of the number of cigarettes you smoke and record your feelings about the process of becoming a non-smoker. To monitor your progress, all you have to do is alert Qwitter every time you light up and Qwitter will post each smoke on a progress graph.

If you want to burn a few calories during your work day, there’s Twittercize. It delivers one tweet per hour that orders you to perform a particular exercise and describes how to do it. Each exercise takes less than a minute. A sample tweet from Twittercize: “Standing Karaoke Drills: Arms up, fast feet, cross those legs, get that heart pounding for 1 full minute!”

Twittercize won’t replace a serious gym work out, but it gets you out of your chair. And don’t forget the added benefit: with no aerobics instructors screaming at you, you get to do your sit-ups in peace.

Assalamu Alaikum,

If you’d read my previous post that featured a video I made for the Tobacco Free Speech Contest, you’ll know what I’m talking about. If not, then go read it here.

Anyways, I just found out that I’m one of the 5 runner ups for the contest and I’m giving Sadaqah right now to no one in the room. (“Even a smile is charity.” -Muhammad (Sallalahu ‘Alayhi Wasalaam)).

InshaAllah I’ll update this post with a picture of myself and my prize (which I believe is going to be an mp3 player, perhaps one that has line-in recording? (if you read my past posts you’d be laughing right now…))

In regards to The Lecture Experiment, it unfortunately has been put on hold for a few days due to some busy-ness. I have an order of 100 buttons I had to make, some school projects that still need to be done, and my FAYM (Florida Association of Young Muslims) class I got to teach, as well as another Islamic FAYM class I have to deliver a speech for (impromptu won’t work this time).

I’ve exported the videos and synced the audio of both video angles. Now, all I have to do is cut it up and add in any visual aids I might need and prepare it for DVD-authoring. InshaAllah I’ll try to get back on it this weekend.

Okay, still happy,

Got to go

Wasalaamu Alaikum.

p.s. here’s the video that won (it honestly was only made and published to the internet in about 45-50 minutes):

Another epic piece to the surprising puzzle that was the 2008 Rays team. For the first time in their history, a position player has won the Gold Glove Award, an accolade bestowed upon 1 player at each position for defensive excellence. This year, Carlos Pena, the Rays’ charismatic, dependable but gradually balding first baseman has won this years AL award for first base! He only committed and unprecedented 2 errors the entire year! Congratulations to Carlos! He cares because he doesn’t smoke!
