I had a serious knee injury on June 2nd. I was in the hospital until June 16. I started gimping along without crutches a little around June 25, and walking a little again by July 1st and got my stitches out around then.

I started to run shortly thereafter and have been improving my pace since then, here is a sampling:

• July 23 – 1.6 miles in 22 minutes (fastest mile 12:52)
• July 31 – 4.5 miles in 44 minutes (fastest mile 11:06)
• Aug 18 – 4 miles in 44 minutes (fastest mile 10:07)
• Sept 5 – 4 miles in 44 minutes (fastest mile 9:27)
• Sept 15 – 4 miles in 39 minutes (fastest mile 8:37)

My goal for this year was to reach a 6:00 mile pace by the end of it in outdoor running.… read more “Regaining My Health”

I’m playing out at Heartwell today. I think I am starting to figure out how to shape my shots. To draw, have the face more inwards and the path in to out. To fade have the face outwards and the path out to in. I can draw better with a grip rotated clockwise, the ball back in my stance, and by shifting weight towards my heels in my backswing.… read more “Golf today… How to draw vs fade”

I believe in only looking at the real world evidence in order to determine life philosophies and how best to live life… Not following your chakra or cult leader or book or pastor or what the crystals tell you.

There is a vast difference between real world peer reviewed research and the random and self admittedly not evidence based ideas of the millions of charlatan mystics out there.… read more “Morning Religious Debate”

One important thing I’ve needed to learn is that in order to be successful you cannot nurse grudges. Many people have really been dishonest or unethical in working with me and sometimes I’ll fantasize about all sorts of outlandish destruction for them. However, time spent on that sort of thing is almost always a waste of emotional energy.… read more “Acceptance”

I have gone through a number of sports hobbies through the years – I spent several years rock climbing, a couple of years doing Crossfit, a couple of years playing flag football. I enjoy finding fun activities instead of doing a mundane gym workout.

My newest sport is golf. I just started a couple of months ago, but try to get some practice in most days.… read more “Business & Golf”

Summer is coming to an end. It was quite the adventure this year. I started it out with a severe knee injury on June 2nd, got out of the hospital June 16th, struggled around home till the beginning of July, got stronger through July, much strong in August, and am almost back to full strength now at the beginning of September.… read more “Summers End”

Slowly, oh so slowly, I am getting back in shape. Today I ran a 9:27 mile for the first time since my injury. My goal is to get to under a 7:00 mile by the end of the year… a 6:00 mile would make me shout for joy. I also just started doing circuit training (pushups, pullups, situps, shoulder stuff).… read more “My Body Is Returning”

I am supposed to do some surfing today with my friend Ryan. I am not a big fan of surfing as I can’t stand up on the board and it kind of makes me feel motion sick. I’d rather play golf.

We have gigantic monopolies like Amazon because patent law prevents fair competition. Amazon for example has patented silly things like one click checkout. Then they sued all competition using it.
