I'm super excited to say I've lost over 20 pounds (21.4 to be exact). Check out the face comparison (left one is 198ish and the right one is from today):
Fat Greg Less Fat Greg

Current Weight: 176.6 - 6.6 pound to go for my goal weight.

....I just wish I had the full body shot to see the gross comparison.

Crazy? I think so. Anyways, we shot a bunch of green screen footage and some of it may suck because I'm lazy at keying and the lighting wasn't done properly. It makes me laugh. Hope it makes you laugh too.

We may even make this into a reoccurring web series thing. Depends on how well this is received.

Also this may be updated with different music and fixed footage.

You bet your ass we did! http://blog.gregnorth.com/2007/06/14/party-hard-you-bet-your-ass-we-did/ http://blog.gregnorth.com/2007/06/14/party-hard-you-bet-your-ass-we-did/#comments Fri, 15 Jun 2007 02:02:34 +0000 Greg North http://blog.gregnorth.com/?p=28 One Friday night after work, Chris and I decided to stay late and film internet gold. Chris had purchased a song earlier that day and since I was on a streak of lib dubs with songs we decided to film us dubbing to.....Andrew WK's Party Hard And boy did we...

Once we finished we posted it up on youtube, vimeo, and facebook and let it stew for a week. Our entire office got a kick out of it. Chris soon decided that we should show Andrew WK and we contacted him on Myspace.Well guess what.....its on his myspace and his website. BANGING!

Check this out:

Back Shaver Back Shaver Dude

This puppy is a Do-It-Yourself back shaver. NO THANX, if I had a hairy main on my back I'd rather have a professional tame the beast.

I'm always trolling the internets for new "2.0" sites to sign up and try. This weeks venture: Traineo. This one I stumbled upon through theFlexBlog, apprently they have an apollo app that helps you track weight goals.

This intrigued me. Turns out its a new social network. Track your weight, meet your goals, include your friends as motivators, search for other peoples goals, and find new work outs. My favorite workout is the Wii (Yes its listed there).

I've just signed up and I'm looking forward to loosing my gut via the interwebs. I suggest you chunkos should too.

External HD's - I need a good terabyte drive at home. My 120 GB one is full and not exactly portable. Which makes me think I could use a decent 120 portable drive.

iPhone - OK. This kind of kills two birds with one stone. I need a new iPod and a new phone. My Treo 650 got old to fast and my 3rd gen iPod is great but the battery life is starting to go.

iPod Shuffle - This is purely out of "want." I think i could use the ultra portably iPod while I'm working of the gut from the six months of binge eating

DV Camcorder - Ok my old camcorder has kicked the bucket. Doesn't record right, or playback correctly. It was a great cam...it saddens me so that I must part with it soon. I guess it could be a decent webcam...or paperweight.

Slingbox - This is something for the pure fun of just owning it. I can view my DVR content...ANYWHERE!? Sign me up.

TomTom GPS Navigator - I get lost frequently and I tend to hit other cars when I not familiar with the area. Having a sexy GPS gizmo telling me where to go could prevent that...hopefully.

An apartment or home in Boston Area -  I miss Boston plain and simple.
