CrossFit Open: Round 1 of 5

Every Friday for 5 weeks I am in a global Crossfit competition.  Today the workout was as many burpees as possible in 7 minutes.  I managed to do 77, which put me right at 6311 out of 7300 competitors.  Pretty sad.  The current global leader did 158.  Burpees are my worst exercise – a burpee is basically laying flat on the floor, standing up and jumping 6 inches in the air then laying back down – that’s one rep.… read more “CrossFit Open: Round 1 of 5”

Shopify Vs BigCommerce Vs Magento Vs NetSuite- Ecommerce Review

The Goods on the best shopping cart:

I know you are all here for one primary reason: to find out what the best shopping cart is!  Well without further delay, here is the list as it stands now:

Nfl.com Streaming Super Bowl Run by Clowns

The same three crappy commercials repeated over and over. I watched those three commercials so often I now hate everything about the companies that ran them. Halftime show was two no-names saying obvious remarks “in the belly of Lucas Field”. Really poorly done. Shockingly bad considering this is the biggest television event of the year.
