Five Things To Do When Bored

mpgent — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 17:27:13 +0000

Exercise As you hear over and over again from every health expert exercise is the key to a healthy lifestyle and is incredibly beneficial to take the time to exercise regularly. As much as people might say that they enjoy being lazy and avoiding exercise in truth they have a desire to be healthier. There have been studies done where people who exercise regularly have much higher serotonin levels than people who don’t. Exercise is also energizing. People will often notice their energy levels go up once they start working out. So when your bored go for a run or walk, ride your bike, lift some weights, play a sport, or do anything that you might break a sweat. Exercise according to whatever level physically you are at, but any exercise is good for you as long as you are being safe.

Do Something Creative? If the feeling of boredom is baring down you usually are feeling a little unsatisfied with yourself. Trying something creative is a non-physical way of being productive and can be incredibly satisfying. Everyone has the ability to do something creative. One look into the arts: Draw or paint a picture, play an instrument, or write a poem. If you don’t feel like creating yourself go to an art exhibit, listen to music, or read a book. Think about what you love and approach in some creative manner.
Learn Our brains do not turn to mush once we stop attending school and curiosity is something that does not fade. You can always learn. Try to learn about new things and broaden your knowledge on subjects you don’t understand. The more well rounded you are the better. The possibilities are infinite.
Help Someone If there is nothing for you to do for yourself, do something for someone else. This is probably the most satisfying act anyone can pursue as helping a friend or stranger makes people feel they are good which to some point we all desire.
. Sleep Most people do not sleep enough. Rest is the best way to stay healthy and allow one’s body to recharge. A healthy night’s sleep can go a long way.

Five Productive Things to Do When Bored

mpgent — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 21:15:11 +0000

When you are looking for ideas, try these things to do when bored.

Clean out your old books and media. Sort your bookshelf for books that you don’t need. Sort the old CDs, DVDs, and VHS tapes. Collect the unwanted ones and sell them on Ebay. You will get a few bucks for each. Take the money and put it in a savings account.
Make a to do list. Go through your house and find everything that needs fixing or updating. Light bulb, filters, painting, cleaning are good places to start. Now get to work.
Audit a course online. MIT has new program called opencourseware. Other universities have also joined the effort. They post course material for anyone to download. Download a topic like philosophy to listen to on the train.
Go through your bills. Look for anyplace to cut $100/month. Start with your cell and phone bills. Look at your insurance. Raise your deductible. Cut out any extra cable or direct tv plans.
Clean out your garage. Look for things that are not needed. Organize the rest to make easy access. Make a note of anything that you might need that is off season like salt. Have a garage sale with the leftover stuff.

Five Free Things To Do When Bored

mpgent — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 15:19:41 +0000

It’s time to find things to do when you are bored. Sometimes you have plenty of time and can’t think of anything to entertain yourself. I created a list of ten free things to do that are free.

Clean your house and garage. Sort everything. Find items that you can give to a worthy cause. Items like clothes,old shoes, old toys are perfect for donation. Find a local center to donate. It’s not hard to find a worthy cause. The rest have a garage or yard sale. Use the money as a savings bonus

Have some fun with your kids while washing your car. Make it a family project. But turn it into a water fight with squirt guns. Nothing beats making your kids laugh.

Go to the community pool. Most are free for residences. Pack a lunch and get some rays.

Go to the library. Have everyone find a good book. Bring them home and have everyone lounge around and read. At dinner it is time to discuss your book with everyone.

Take a bike ride to the park. Bring a snack and don’t just sit there. Play ball or tag. Make it a real exercise.

Embed Google Maps

mpgent — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 03:40:16 +0000

If you ever wanted to embed a Google map into a post, it’s easy. Go to google maps and search for your category. The example below is Vail hotels. Copy the embed code in HTML and the map appears. It’s interactive just like Google Maps. It gives red balloons for hotel locations. The other balloons are points of interest. Click on them and you get more in depth information.Try it. I’m adding these to some of my travel sites. Google may allow adsense into maps soon.

This is a hard drive clock I built from a 3.5" hard drive, some tri-color LEDs and a PIC16F252 microcontroller. It works by shining the LEDs underneath a platter with a slot cut into it, and by timing the various colors it can produce an analog clock display as well as other patterns. I got the idea from this page: http://alan-parekh.com/projects/hard-drive-clock/ And here is my page with more details: http://www.ian.org/HD-Clock/ .
