Welcome

Welcome to my ever-evolving blog. It started out as a blog on Beachbody workouts and products, mainly when I was a Beachbody coach. I no longer coach, not because I don't believe in Beachbody's programs (I subscribe to Beachbody on Demand and use their workouts every day), I am just not a salesperson and hated that aspect of it. I am more than willing to answer questions about my experiences with their products and the various workouts, and I feel freer to do so without the appearance of giving a biased review of something.

I have also started adding reviews for various things I have purchased like movies, books, CDs, and other products. This was brought about by a fight with Amazon in which all of my reviews were removed over a completely bullshit allegation that I posted a review that violated their terms of service. After going back and forth with the morons in the community-reviews department (even after they admitted that my posts did not violate their guidelines) they restored my account (which took them six months to do), but I have been posting my reviews on my blog to have them preserved in case something like that happens again. And here, I will post uncensored reviews so I will swear from time to time and post reviews that may be longer than Amazon's character limit. Everything I post here on any topic or product is my personal opinion, and I take no compensation for any product reviews I post. I am a member of Amazon's vine program and because I get those products for free, I keep those reviews on Amazon only, but everything I have purchased with my own money, whether from Amazon or some other store/website/outlet, I will post here.  

I also plan to do some longer blog posts on various topics, such as how to learn physics, how to get through calculus, and longer reviews of workout programs as I do them. Basically, whatever strikes me as interesting at the time.  As you can see if you navigate around the blog, I had many years in between postings. During that time I was going back to school to get an engineering degree, and learning material that I avoided my first time through college was a different experience and one that gave me a lot of insight into how to do well in those classes, which I will try to impart here for those who are looking to get a science or engineering degree.

Product Review: Omega Paw Self-Cleaning Litter Box

 


This is not really a self-cleaning litterbox. It is not one of those that have something like a motorized rake that goes across the litter once the cat jumps out and puts the lumps of whatever into a separate container. Basically, what you can do is, after the cat has done its business, tip the box to one side and then the lumps can fall into a side compartment that you can dump out. So, the idea is that you can waste less litter and not have to empty the entire thing at once. That really only works if you tip it on a consistent basis before things get a chance to get stuck, at which point you do have to clean out the entire thing. And, of course, the better litter you use the easier the process is.

One thing that I will say for this is that, if you have a larger cat, like a Maine Coon cat, this is a great option because there is little chance that the cat will miss the box because of hanging over the edge. Plus, it gives the cat some privacy. So, while it is not really self-cleaning, it is a decent option if you do not want to spend the money for a real self-cleaning litter box.
