Doing More With Less Since 1972
Really enjoying my Focus@Will beta account (thanks Lifehacker) this morning.
It sounds weird, but this is exactly what I need sometimes–music that I don’t like. I don’t dislike the Focus@Will stuff, but I’m not distracted by it, and I don’t find myself singing along.
I’m looking at you, Pantera’s “Vulgar Display Of Power”
Ankle is jacked up, so no running for the next 8 days. But I did start playing Ingress today…great chance to get on the mountain bike and ride around gobbling up territory.
I think someone at Google reads this blog. I had some very similar ideas to make Foursquare better a while back.
I think all of the songs on the Pulp Fiction soundtrack are by the original artists except for “Girl, You’ll Be A Woman Soon”.
Why did they use the Urge Overkill version for this song but originals for the rest?
Glad I got that off my chest.
An observation:
People who drive slower than me are idiots. People who drive faster are maniacs.
People who make less than me are lazy. People who make more are greedy.
These two statements are equally true, rational, and reasonable.
I saw two men keenly interested in the Presidency have a lively discussion about the roles and responsibilities of the job.
Still, I can’t bring myself to vote for Jim Lehrer.
New policy: 20 push ups any time I put calories into my mouth (making coffee exempt). I’m not sure if that means I’ll be doing more push ups, eating fewer calories, or just eating them all at once. 80 push ups yesterday.
It’s a behavioral experiment as much as it is a fitness endeavor.
Things are already heating up at the ’12 GOP Convention.
That would be the 1912 Convention. Read Jamie Dupree’s account of what’s happened to him when he tried to cover an event.
Whenever you have the feeling the press isn’t being fair to you, maybe the first step you should take is to check the mirror and ask yourself if you deserve it.
More delegates emerged with the same message. People tweeted messages to me from inside the delegation meeting, telling me I wasn’t missing anything.
It was evidence of the power that social media really has right now.
On the mobile app, when I take a photo to post to G+, why isn’t there a step in there that lets me apply a filter a la Instagram? Seems like a feature they could implement pretty easily, but it’s not there.
At least give this to users with Android devices, you know?
There used to be a website called Recipe Chimp that let you enter ingredients and spit back a recipe for something delicious you could make from those ingredients.
How about this instead…
Enter the number of neighbors you think are home right now, and the site will give you a recipe for something delicious you can make out of items you can likely borrow from each of those neighbors.
Yesterday I tweeted:

And today @sallaboutme alerted me to this:
The Facebook IPO wasn’t “botched”.
It was a timed effort to extract as much money as it could from the market before the market realized Facebook’s business model is full of holes.
And it was still a year and a half too late in my opinion.
The name of any good fair food must be a compound word:
What if a team didn’t let their GC contender dope, but doped their #2 rider and let him pull the top rider through the tour? Then when the #2 rider ended up getting disqualified, you still keep the GC crown.
Why not juice up an ox to pull the cart over all those mountains, sacrificing the ox and eating him at the finish line?
Not saying any team is employing that strategy this year…just saying.
What if, when the zombies do come, they attack and eat robots instead of people? That way, all of the robots that have cost people their jobs will be either eaten by zombies or too busy fighting the zombies to produce anything, freeing up those positions for people to go back to work doing robot tasks?
Robots will still be helping us, because they’ll be keeping the zombies in check.
Not any more outlandish than any of the other zombie scenarios you can come up with.
