Perspective: A Flight Through the Universe
I once had a dream that was very similar to this video. It was one of my most vivid dreams ever! While it is impossible to understand how big things really are – it does help put some of the smaller issues in perspective.

First Craigslist Purchase
I finally made my first purchase via craigslist.org over the weekend. Last week our treadmill (and my 90+ Fuelband streak) broke. After sulking for a day – I found a promising treadmill (NordicTrack C2500 ) and went to check it out. I ended up buying it and had an enjoyable run this morning. Unlike our […]

Nike Support For Fuel Band is Fantastic
I have to say – I have had my Nike Fuel Band for just short of 100 days and have had to call sport two times. Both times I called the 1-800 number and with one menu selection and one single ring – I spoke to someone friendly from their US support center. Not only […]
