Do I care that he used PEDs and/or blood doped to win the TDF? Not a bit. Do I care that he bullied other riders and threatened their careers if they didn’t go along with his program? Absolutely. Fan boys, you can say all you want about all the great things the guy has done for cancer research, but it just doesn’t factor in here. Yes, he has used his Read More ...
Have you had enough of race t-shirts? Rather have something else (or nothing) instead? I guess the benefit of the t-shirt is that it’s more advertising for the race in the future. Still, I’d like to see some choices available. Things like socks and gu would be way more valuable to me…those are things that really get used up, and they don’t even have to be branded with the race Read More ...
I’m pulling the trigger and getting some coaching this year. I’ve been quasi-diagnosed with ODD by some lesser-known psychologists, but I’m actually pretty coachable. The way I look at it, if I’m paying someone (or committing my time even) for coaching, I’m going to be all-in and do what they ask of me. Even if that’s at odds with the way I’m used to doing things. People who know me Read More ...
Today I’m remembering a guy I used to know back in the day who was trying to make it big in the music business. I got the impression he viewed himself as a sort of John Mellencamp of our generation. The only problem is that he didn’t have Mellencamp’s song writing abilities and didn’t sing.
And he wasn’t a real good dancer.
Aside from those things, he was exactly like Mellencamp.
Basically, a chain-smoking jerk.
ImpPatience (noun) – the feeling you get when you finish a chapter in the Game of Thrones series, and knowing you won’t be able to read again for a few hours, you peek at the next chapter and see that it is titled “Tyrion”. Also, am I the only person worried that this series won’t be finished, and that we’ll never get to read another word from the perspective of Read More ...
I read Charlie’s post a while back on why triathlon is a stupid sport and why triathletes are assholes, and I got a good chuckle out of it. Parts were ridiculous, which made them funny. Other parts were true, which made them even funnier. I talked about it on Twitter with some other MOP age groupers, and it seemed to be a consensus that Charlie was sort of right–there are Read More ...
The only thing I can think of that I’d really like to do is rent a Brazilian steak restaurant for a night. I don’t mean I want to have them close their doors so that my guests and I will be the only ones dining there. I mean I want to go there for dinner, eat until I get the meat sweats, then crawl under the table using a tablecloth as a Read More ...
The best thing Google could do today to snag some market share in the photo sharing space would be to get SnapSeed updated to share directly to Twitter (and play nicely while doing it). Leave the photos of kids and puppies to Istagram/Facebook and get the really good photographers who haven’t moved to Google+ yet get their feet wet with the easy Twitter integration. They’ll inevitably share to G+ while they’re at Read More ...
Now that the hard work is done, it’s time for tapering. That means tending to phantom injuries, freaking out every time I hear one of the kids cough that they are getting the flu and I will catch it too, and checking the weather forecast every 8 minutes. But it also means filling up the liver and muscles with glycogen and running every mile knowing that I’m only doing it Read More ...
I’ve been doing a lot of brainstorming since YamJam…lots of ideas tumbling around in my noggin about how a Yammer network can be energized. Here’s one I came up with and proposed internally that drew the sound of crickets. I still think it’s a good idea, so please tell me why it’s not. You may have heard of No-Email-Fridays, when people shut down Outlook for the day and refrain from Read More ...
Dear gmail: give me a way to act on an email (“Like”, “Thanks”, “Will Do”, etc) by just pushing a button. Let me configure these myself. If the original sender is a gmail/Google apps user, actions can just appear as attributes of original message with a browser notification if that’s what the sender is configured for. If outside, or if the sender wants message notifications to continue, go ahead and Read More ...
Tell me doping isn’t happening on a pretty broad basis among age group athletes, and I’ll be more surprised than if you told me it is. No sour grapes here, mind you. I’m an MOP age-grouper, and I’m only racing myself. So it doesn’t matter to me if age groupers are doping or not. It just seems very likely that it’s happening. Let’s look at my age group as a Read More ...
If you play Judas Priest's new album backwards it says, "Sharepoint Lookup Column Types".
