Growing up, I was always a fan of The Hulk cartoons and TV show. My cousin Joe Harnell wrote the theme song for the TV show (song title: ‘The Lonely Man‘) and was kind enough to send me an autographed picture of himself, as well as Bill Bixby and an enraged Lou Ferrigno as the [...]

However unintentional, this is shaping up to be ‘Green Week’ on Bitness. Google.org just released a list of partners (typically power companies) from all over the world, who will install ‘smart meters’ that interface with and provide data to Google’s PowerMeter gadget.

Warm up with some dynamic movements before the run, then cool down with more static stretching after the run. Sorry, just had to [...]
