Because There Are Few Better Ways to Motivate Than Public Humiliation

I have two weeks until the 100 mile, Logan to Park City, Ragnar Relay (No, I'm not running 100 miles.. that would be even more crazy, it's a relay!). I haven't been training. I ditched out on the Provo half-marathon in May and I kind of want to ditch...(read more)

Everyone else is talking about the iPad. I want to be meta too!

This is the first part of many a similar rant to come. There’s just too much going on right now in tech to put it in one post. Besides, I’ve been missing my blog-therapy lately. Everyone and everybody is going all googoo and gaga over the latest fruit...(read more)

Dude, What Happened to Your Posts?

Yeah. I had the strangest thing happen. I host this (among a few other sites) from my home server. It recently gave me a BSOD from which I found out the system file was corrupted. Ok, no big deal, I’ve fixed many a disaster. Oh wait! I had turned off...(read more)

Buy This Shirt! It's only $735 Trillion ...

I don't sleep well. I haven't for some time now. I'll wake up at 2 or 3 AM wide awake and lay in bed trying to get my brain to shut up and let my body rest. Sometimes the brain agrees and sometimes it doesn't. This morning, it didn't. So I fired up my...(read more)

Health? What is this Health thing you speak of?

I guess since I work for a company that pushes for consumer directed Healthcare, I should probably do something to be more healthy, right? Easier said than done. Finding incentive to do something that is good for you should be easy, right? It's not. I...(read more)

Friendship

…It’s a simple word with simple meaning. Like water. Water can have many different levels of depth, but it’s still water. It’s a pretty cool thing to meet up with people that I haven’t seen in years and still feel the friendship shared when we first met...(read more)
