A group has received approval and is currently raising money to erect a statue near the Washington Monument in D.C.. Its purpose is to help promote women's equality. This doesn't seem like a bad idea until you realize the statue that, according to the sculptor, is intended to “combat a culture that increasingly dehumanizes women and sexualizes the female form” is actually a 45-foot tall naked woman. (Isaiah 5:20)
This week I fell victim to one of a gamer’s greatest fears; I lost approximately two years worth of progress in a video game. The game in question is a match 3 game that I play on my Windows tablet. The game would not progress beyond the loading screen. I restarted a couple of times to no avail. Knowing I had backups of the save file, I uninstalled and reinstalled the game and replayed the first level. After restoring the backup I tried the game again. First, it wouldn’t load. Then a restart still had me on the first level. I tried several different backups but had the same results. I suspect what happened was the game had an update that was incompatible with the old save files. I have no proof that is what happened and it doesn’t make sense that a developer would do such a thing intentionally. If that is the case, then I guess there is hope that it might be fixed in the future and I’ll just have to wait. Luckily, this was just a casual game to kill some time and not a hundred hour open world RPG. In the end, it’s not that big a deal . . . but it’s still frustrating.
On Monday I told you about a walking app called Zombies, Run!. In addition to walking, I also like to work out to videos when I can’t (or don’t want to) go outside. There are several free, high-quality channels on YouTube and one of my favorites is Sean Vigue Fitness. Sean’s delivery is casual, lighthearted and fun, but his workouts are serious stuff. He covers a variety of exercise types and has routines ranging from beginner to extreme (but even the beginner workouts I’ve tried have given me a run for my money). Below I posted one of Sean’s standing yoga workouts for you to sample. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLfY31Ulp00
