Goals met (almost) at Yankee Homecoming 10 Miler

Ran the Yankee Homcoming in Newburyport last night – great race in a great town. Race went right through downtown, people lined the streets, crowds cheered and many houses had set up impromptu misting stations and blasted music from their front yards. It was warmer weather than I've run this fast this far in before, […]

Flip This Site

My wife Kris is a fan of the Flip This House television show.  Now if they'd make a Flip This Site show on the Geek channel (also sadly not currently available), maybe  I'd have a bargaining chip — "I'll watch your show, honey, if you'll watch mine!"  A recent NY Times article details the opportunities […]

Cell phones the saviors of newspapers?

Interesting piece in the New York Times about the opportunities cell phones present for newspapers, and the company that's banking on those opportunities: Verve. The Times reports: "Verve's chief executive, Art Howe, is the first to admit that he’s betting on an industry that’s under siege. Newspapers’ strength is providing local news and information and […]

50 Marathons – 50 States – 50 Days

I read the book Ultramarathon Man by Dean Karnazes a few months ago and it blew my mind.  Now I see that he's got a movie — UltraMarathon Man: 50 Marathons • 50 States • 50 Days — coming out about running 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days.  Amazing.  And inspirational as I […]

Pretty good intervals on a bad day, trading Voomaxer for Sporttracks, tapering for the race

There are mornings when you don't even feel like you can jog – much less run intervals.  That was what I felt like when the alarm went off at 5:30 today.  And what I felt like while I was lacing up my shoes, pounding a shot of coffee, eating a slice of bread with peanut […]

Wendell Berry on Brothers, Sons, Perseverance

There’s a beautiful, sad story called “Stand by Me” by Wendell Berry in The Atlantic summer 2008 fiction issue.  The voice is first person rural poetry, simple and pragmatic, and tells a story about brothers and sons and death and living through it.  It’s the kind of story that is either beautiful or cheaply awful, […]

Marathon Training Update: Registered for the Race, Pizza Theory Continues To Hold True

I registered for the Maine Marathon (Oct. 5) today.  I've twelve more weeks to finish getting in shape for my first marathon.  I'm pretty confident I can handle the distance – maybe a little less confident that I can do the distance in under 3:15 (which is 7:26 minute miles, and a Boston qualifying time […]

Neo-Amish Digital Dropouts

Via Greenflame – Check out this post by Kevin Kelly on "Neo-Amish Digital Dropouts." Seems like the closer you are to totally plugged in, the closer you'd be to wishing to unplug entirely.  In my life it feels like I ride through surges of intense connectivity followed by spates of odd revulsion to being so […]

Text Messages Not Destroying Formal Language

Via the LanguageHat blog: David Crystal of the UK Guardian writes: "Research has made it clear that the early media hysteria about the novelty (and thus the dangers) of text messaging was misplaced. In one American study, less than 20% of the text messages looked at showed abbreviated forms of any kind – about three […]
