I wanted another Subaru until I saw THIS baby! Forget the Subaru. Maybe an old Yugo?
Here is a photo of the Club Fat Ass “Fat Ass 50 New Years Run” hosted by none other than Ean “Action” Jackson, who not only started this run 17 years ago but also managed to run it as his 100th ultra. And thanks to Sibylle Tinsel-Jackson, the Chief Fat Ass, for all the organizational [...]
A friend sent me this link which is pretty funny for people who either hate their lack of signal from AT&T or people who hate their iFriends.
Click and watch. It’s brilliant.
To all the crazy inventors out there, can you please invent this for me? I spend my days working on a computer, looking at hundreds of windows, using 20-30 different applications, chatting across way too many channels. Frankly, it’s really not healthy for us to sit so long, work on laptops, and stare at little [...]
Okay, my Plaxo Pulse “simplify my life” quest spun out of control into exactly what I was hoping to avoid – a full-on examination of my various communication networks and channels. Too late.
My question is this. For all of us uber connected networking, writing, blogging, conference-going wonks, is your system as horrendous? What great ideas [...]
I am not normally much of a Seth Godin fan most of the time but I have to say that I really loved the TED talk he gave on tribes. It intuitively makes sense and I think he asked some really great questions and had a fantastic call to action. The key questions were: who [...]
My sister sent me this video and I just had to share it.
If anybody knows who built this, please let me know so that I can attribute it properly…
I found this stunning YouTube video on John Chow’s blog here.
The Bugatti has to race a mile, turn around, and race back. The EF-2000 has to take off, race a mile into the air vertically and then turn around and fly towards the ground another mile and then cross the same finish [...]
I decided to get out for a run in the cold sunny weather today and ran around Ile Saint-Louis:
It was a crisp beautiful autumn day. I was the only runner in shorts, and one of the only runners out at ALL. There don’t appear to be many runners in Paris. [...]

I’ll keep this short or I’ll get all sappy. I love hanging out with this group and pushing our bodies and suffering together. It’s the best thing I could possibly do with my time. Thanks guys (and girls).
Every time I read this I go off into fits of laughter. Having spent fifteen years now doing project management on one thing or another, I can relate to this very deeply. Sometimes Scott Adams really nails it.
“This is an A to B conversation, so C you later.”
Thanks to Ean and Sibylle for throwing a great Club Fat Ass party – the Capilano Canyon Night Run. About 40 30 of us gathered at the William Griffin Rec Center tonight to do the run.
Sibylle threw me out of the short distance group, so Blue and I joined the tail end of the [...]
THIS is the reason you don’t allow overly broad stupid legislation like the Patriot Acts I and II and the most recent Military Commission Act to pass. They are always unintended uses that far exceed the original intent of the law. In this case, a couple in their mid-forties were being overtly sexual on a [...]
