I was intentional about not mentioning any specific topics or anything like that so I could get the most raw recommendations. In accordance with Twitter Bylaws Section C, Paragraph 2, here are the recommendations:

I will be checking these out over the next few days. Much appreciation to everyone for the recommendations.

Is it possible, at least in our human language of music to express those ineffable and still beyond words concepts and sentiments of the inner self and its relation to the divine? I do not know if I could successfully answer this, or even more, draw a fine line between these concepts. What I know for certain is that it is inspiring to look for harmony in music that reverberates with the spirit of our existence.

I love hearing Zvonimir’s thoughts on music and spirituality. Zvonimir is one of the most deeply thoughtful people I know and I consider it a privilege to count him as a friend. Keep an eye out (especially you Chicago-land and Texas people) for chances to hear him perform and/or lecture live. Until you can hear him live, you can also listen to some of his performances on his website as well.

My mom and grandma bought them for my birthday and I installed them today. I’m most pleased with the result.

He takes over the back 2/3 of the chair and forces me to sit up straight on the front edge.

The birthday is a great time to reflect on my weight loss goals as well. I’m really happy with my progress thus far. This is me today:

And this was me at WWDC in June:

So far, I’ve lost 37 pounds, down to 228 from 265. I started tracking my calorie intake and output pretty aggressively (or neurotically depending on your point of view) in August using Lose It! for iPhone. Lose It! tells me that I weighed 257 pounds on August 10, so I’ve lost nearly 30 pounds in 3 months.

I’ve got a ways to go before I make my goal weight of 200 pounds, but six months after my worst state, I am in the best shape I’ve been in since I got married and I’m well on my way to being in the best shape of my life. I’m feeling great and looking forward to whatever life has in store going forward.

Ann Margaret got me a Troy Polamalu jersey and gave it to me first thing today so that I can wear it for the game. (Never mind that he’s not playing today.) Huge amounts of win.
