To my techno-buds: do any

To my techno-buds: do any of you know anything about silicon graphics machines?
Edit: I think that I'm good. I was wondering a bit about the details of such systems, but a little googling is all it took to figure that out. I'll post if I do anything fun with it. :)

new workout idea seems like a really good plan

Ok. So as some of you already know, Quito and I rearranged the Romper Room™ and changed it into a work out space. One of the things we did was set up his trail bike on a stand so that it (in effect) become a stationary bike. Then we pointed it at a tv and hooked my PS2 up to it so we could play DVDs.

I wasn't sure how well it would work until just now.

I just rode that stationary bike for 77 minutes while I watched the movie Hellboy: Sword of Storms.

The movie was fun and kept me pretty solidly distracted. I won't pretend that I was going great guns the whole time, but (aside from a couple very brief pauses to stretch) I kept moving the whole time. When I was done, I was drenched with sweat and feeling thoroughly used up - in a good way.

I'm looking forward to Wednesday. Not sure what I'll rent though.
