Off-topic, but please fix the social button behavior on the iPad. The stay glued to the top and obscure the text, making it difficult to read

Will get onto that, cheers! I reward myself for publishing a blog post by allowing myself to play with my Tumblr theme and these kinds of aspects (I'm more comfortable with code than writing). Thanks for the nudge!

+1 for exercising. I've lost 20lbs, and I have never felt more effective.

All these anecdotes about people losing weight as a good way to improve your life- sort of assume everyone has weight to lose. What if you are healthy and athletic already? Do we miss out on the benefits of "feeling great about myself after losing 20, 50, 100 pounds"?

I guess there are other ways to improve ones self other than exercising :-)

I'm currently learning a second language, it's very rewarding!
