I just designed a survey that will show the average height of the people in the community. It will go live in a few days at the longest.

They break my heart, they really do. Last year the new installment of HeightForum was delayed because my laptop ran away with some stranger (aka stolen from my apartment). And if you think I'd learned from this experience by backing up my files, think again. Although I did consider it, I convinced myself every time that the computer is still young, and I will eventually get to it when I have time. Well, history tends to repeat itself. Last week, my new laptop's hard drive decided she had enough and crashed right in front of my eyes.

The good news is that the computer was still under warranty and I got a replacement for free. The bad news is that I lost everything...again. Well, at least it only puts me a few months behind as opposed to an entire year.

In conclusion, no matter how much you love your computer, do not trust it. Backup often because they don't love you back. Oh yeah, have a happy Valentine's Day. Hope your date isn't as moody as a laptop.

I feel that the Internet has officially covered everything. Videojug has created some informative and slightly humorous videos. This video is about a doctor talking about puberty. I think he goes a little bit too far on the sex portion. I also think that the information on the onset of puberty is a little bit different than what I've heard throughout the years in the educational system (too early, maybe?). But he's a doctor. Who am I to comment on his expertise?




HeightForum serves two purpose: 1) To help older people to find ways to grow taller safely, and 2) To help young people achieve their maximum growth through, again, healthy lifestyles. This goofy video features two goofy guys with a great height difference. It unfortunately sums up the brutal truth behind human growth:




Although I'm still investigating methods of post-puberty growth, the reality is that no one has found any reliable evidence on such matter. Sure, there are some anecdotes that make people ponder, but we can all agree on that the majority of growth activity occurs during puberty. So if you are still young, don't make any mistake. Do everything you can to be healthy, and your body will thank you later down the line. For the rest of us, well, stay positive. We'll continue to talk about it.

I've been pretty lazy lately with article writing. I was going to write up an article about hormones. I even gathered enough information to start writing. However, because I put it off for quite some time, I'm now shaky on the matter and need to review the material. But don't worry, it will be done.

Stay tuned, and you won't be disappointed.
