An Enduring Measure of Fitness: The Simple Push-Up – New York Times
“The push-up is the ultimate barometer of fitness. It tests the whole body, engaging muscle groups in the arms, chest, abdomen, hips and legs. It requires the body to be taut like a plank with toes and palms on the floor. The act of lifting and lowering one’s entire weight is taxing even for the very fit.”

Editorial Observer – Losing Private Dwyer, War Hero – Editorial – NYTimes.com
“Pfc. Joseph Dwyer was a model of the strength and selflessness of the American soldier fighting in Iraq. But it was post-traumatic stress disorder and addiction that eventually killed him.” Please, please, please, servicemen and women: seek help if you need to. You’ve certainly earned it.

Web Worker Daily » Archive Who Owns Your Online Documents? «
“One thing that’s clearly missing is any sort of backup guarantee. While you may feel more secure storing your documents on Google’s or Zoho’s or Adobe’s servers than your own, that security is not something that you’re promised. Any of the three can lose your documents or terminate your ability to get to them at any time for pretty much any reason, and you’re out of luck. So if you do put important things online – back them up somewhere else.”

Brand New: Less Hyphen, More Burst for Walmart
Walmart has a new logo. At first glance, it reminds me of WaMu’s logo, though on careful examination, you can clearly see the differences in the two typefaces. I do think the spacing between letters in the new logo is too close, however.
