Did The Stairs Again
About an hour ago I climbed the stairs at work (down and up… 30 floors). It is getting easier with every time.

Have you seen the ads for Kinoki pads on television? You put it on the bottom of your foot at night and its supposed to suck toxins out of your system while you sleep. In the morning, the pad will be dark with toxic gunk that was extracted from your body.
As you do this each night, the pads you take off are supposed to become lighter and lighter until they look as if nothing happened. At that point, you are supposed to stop using them.
Well, I went to their web site: buykinoki.com and purchased their two for one offer. I did not buy any of their other products. I figure that for $20 for something that at least is harmless and at most could improve my health is worth a shot!
I did some browsing of various sites (mostly online forums) to see what others were saying about it. At this point there really isn’t a whole lot out there. But I haven’t been seeing the ads on TV for very long either.
The main bulk of the comments are people just bashing the product without any first hand knowledge about the product. Let it be known that I’ve used some products that were bashed as well but have provided noticeable benefit to me. I’ve also used products that were worthless (at least for me).
A smaller amount of users have all sorts of nice things to say about the product and how their health has improved.
And about an equally sized amount of folks think the products a fraud and sound authoritative.
The question is who are these people? Who can I trust? Just because I say that I’m John Edwards doesn’t him make me! And even if the people are who the say they are, prejudice and a faulty paradigm can exist (on any side).
So, I thought this would be a great idea for an experiment! As they say: “Stuff never written down (or documented) never happened.”
I am going to document exactly what happens with me and the company and the usage of their product.
A few more comments about this:
I’m going out tonight for my birthday party so don’t expect anything new tonight. I think this will be a great experiment! You will not get mearly some high level opinions but some detailed data which you can then use to make an informed decision on your own. Just a warning, this experiment could take a few months (maybe two or three). We’ll just see where it goes, okay? Great!
All the best!
Let’s see, there’s the Six Sigma class coming up in February… my wife is taking two classes in occupational therapy the next two weekends, we just replaced our defective printer, I’ve been buying various books on software management and intros to statistics. I’m toggling back and forth between reading these books (due the subject matter you can only take so much of this stuff at one time)!
On the health / self discipline front my wife and I are doing alot better. No self-medicating by buying and eating junk food / soda. I’ve been walking the stairs (30 floors) almost every day at work. Slowly, some of the physical symtoms I experience in my body are waning/disapating.
Things are REAL SLOW at work right now but I expect that is going to change real soon. And I actually will be glad when that happens.
The tutorial I am making for importing video from a Canon HG10 video camera into Windows MovieMaker is taking longer than expected. But, I have been working on it and it is getting better and better. It will be nice to have a solid and complete tutorial up on chomer.com!
Well, today I have decided that the blog on my site would become my one and only active blog. So it is active: i.e.: there are links to it now! Although the formatting on it is not exactly as I would like, it is still pretty good.
In other news, Sunday is my birthday! Gonna be 45. Tonight I’m going out with some friends to celebrate at Pizzeria Uno. They have this pizza with spinach and broccolli that tastes awesome! That is what I’m am going for! 🙂
