C25K Podcasts

8, Oct 2009

As part of my latest endeavor going from the couch to running a 5k  race I’m using one of the many podcasts that are available on the subject.  Most of these podcasts are based on the Couch to 5K running program from Coolrunning.com. I think the first one that I heard of, and still extremely [...]

Be Safe on Facebook

5, Oct 2009

Do you know when something just isn’t quite right?  You’re walking in a parking lot and feel like someone’s following you?  You’re jogging in the park and think someone is about to jump out and mug you?  How about online?  You hop on your favorite social network and someone you know starts a weird chat [...]

Running Again

29, Sep 2009

I’m going to try running again. A few months ago I started a Couch to 5K program. I ended up hurting my knee. Part of it was definitely my weight. But, the other part, and I’m thinking the more important contributing factor, was my technique. I was listening to the 4 Feet Running podcast and [...]

Survey Hints at New Digg Features

29, Sep 2009

Picasa SafeDelete, Not So Safe

29, May 2009

Here’s the situation. It’s roughly 12am on a Thursday night. The wife, Laurie, reminds me that she wants to send in some photographs to Walmart for pick-up the next day. Seems like a simple enough task, so I fire up Picasa to download the photos. Here’s where things go terribly wrong. There are three options [...]

Chicken No. 4 – Souvenir Hat

22, Apr 2009

So, yesterday Matt & Nate turned 5 years old.  We decided to abuse them, and the rest of the family, by taking the happiest place on Earth.  Great time.  Everyone was extremely exhausted.  I wonder if they’ll kill anyone at school today.

Enter the Chicken

1, Apr 2009

Over on Facebok today, a friend from high school that I just reconnected with, reminded me of a great character from my past.  I had this great math teacher, Mr. Coleman, that would use a small representation of a chicken for examples during class.  “Say a chicken is standing at the origin, in which quadrant [...]
