One of my other favourite yoga podcasts (second only to yogadownload.com) is from yogamazing.com.

As well as getting Chaz to walk and talk you through a 20 minute yoga session, at the moment you can get a free e-book download from Audible at audiblepodcast.com/yogamazing.

Slight catch is you have to sign up for a free 14 day trial, but so long as you cancel the membership before the free trial period is up, you won’t be charged.

Came across this pretty cool website with lots of free woodworking plans for all sorts of projects.

The ‘free woodworking plans’ website gives you just that. Free plans and links to other websites with free plans.

So next time you want to build your own computer desk...

Want a really easy drag and drop room planner?

Got one for you. I found this one on La Difference’s website and it’s created by icovia.com (but icovia provide these planners for a number of clients so you may have come across it elsewhere).

Very easy to navigate, with a number of pre-built plans to pick from. You can also choose a blank plan and specify your own dimensions. Once you’ve chosen the room you want to remodel, simply drag and drop the relevant items from the left side panel, then resize, zoom and measure away… hours of fun.

 

WII Fit can (allegedly) be hazardous to your health June 13, 2008

So, my cousin, who’s only 28, just got a collapsed lung. Which is terrible. But also a little funny. Because it happened after a rather vigorous bout of WII fit hula hooping.

BTW, the video (below, courtesy of Gametrailers.com) does not contain any footage of him!

Gyminee lets you check how your work-out’s going June 13, 2008

Tomorrow my husband will be participating in the “Test of Metal”, a 67 kilometer slog of a bike race, in Squamish BC. One word comes to mind: lunatic.

He hasn’t really done much training for this (his excuse? it’s too early in the biking season, been ski-ing lots, etc, etc).

Maybe for the next crazy event he should track his training progress at Gyminee, a free website that lets you track not only your workouts but nutrition too. Your home page is the ‘locker room’ (geddit?) and you can even make some gym buddies… if he makes it to the next crazy event….

 

Is yogadownload.com possibly the best online yoga site? June 9, 2008

I’m so glad yogadownload.com got some sponsorship (from ‘huggermugger‘ – unfortunate name). They deserve it. Their 20 minute classes are awesome. And they’re free. Subscribe with iTunes. There’s pretty much a new one every week or so.

Keep ‘em coming. namaste.
