The Internet’s leading authority on radicalized geese
As you may recall, my friend Rick won the Big Mountain Challenge where he and Dan got a trip to Banff and Lake Louise to do some amazing hikes, got pampered at swanky Banff and Lake Louise spas, AND raised $26,762 for the Kidney Foundation of Canada. Well, he and Dan completed all the necessary […] →Read more
First off, I have to give credit for the title of this blog posting to Cath. I’ve been complaining about my iliotibial (IT) band on The Twitter and, given my challenge of trying to write blog postings that all end in “it!” this month, Cath made the brilliant-as-soon-as-you-hear-but-I-totally-would-not-have-thought-of-it-myself title of “IT it!” The iliotibial band […] →Read more
Picture it! Me and Cath are at St. Augustine’s and I can’t decide what beer to have. No matter! I choose “the Paddle” – which is a wooden paddle on which they place 4 small glasses of your beers of choosing. Photographic evidence: The beers I chose were: Unibroue, EPHEMERE APPLE Alameda Brewing Co, MAPLE […] →Read more
I’m terrible at naming things. When I was a kid, I had a stuffed rabbit named Bunny, a stuffed frog named Froggy, a stuffed dog named Puppy, and a stuffed penguin named Pengy. I’ve taken to naming my iPods and phones after movie/book characters ((e.g., Marla the iPod, Hermoine the Palm Treo, Bellatrix the iPhone)) […] →Read more

In keeping with my new habit of booking physical activity in my calendar, today I did, in fact, do the Grouse Grind with Lianna ((And her friend Tiffany, actually.)), just like it says on my calendar. Amazing how that works, eh? We originally planned this hike with the idea that we’d push for a 1 […] →Read more
So my sister brought up a pretty good point in her comment on my blog posting yesterday. I was talking about how I failed to do some sort of concerted physical activity every day in the month of August and my sister, in her great wisdom, reminded me of a conversation we’d just had a […] →Read more
Hey, remember that time that I said I was going to do some kind of physical activity every day in August? Apparently I didn’t. I started off strong, with some running and walking and hiking and a few token pushups on days that I spent driving long distances. And then at some point I seem […] →Read more
I’m kind of in love with Harvard Business Review right now. The articles breakdown business & management research into plain English. Plain English! I should not be allowed to own bacon. So bad for me, but so, so, so delicious. Tennis is one of the few things that I’m terrible at, but I still love […] →Read more
Over on Lifehacker, I saw a posting about how you can create a searchable catalogue of your book collection by taking pictures of your bookshelves and uploading them to Evernote. For the uninitiated, Evernote ((My usual disclosure: I have no vested interest in Evernote.)) is a service where you can store notes and pictures and […] →Read more
