Runkeeper Street Team

[THE Lowly Peon] [03 February 2012]
As many of you know, I really love keeping data. Any kind of data. I figure if I track everything, even if I don't know how I can use the data, in the future I'll have it to make the choice. But if I don't track it now, I may regret not having it, and all will be lost.
 

One of These Days

[THE Lowly Peon] [03 February 2012]
Neil Young is awesome. From what I've read, he was a bit of a creative sphincter* when he was younger, but apparently at some point something changed, and he became this really friendly guy. Of course, I've
 

  1. Miles!!

[THE Lowly Peon] [22 January 2012]
No, not that movie.
 

My History with a Jawbone UP

[THE Lowly Peon] [16 December 2011]
Note: this is not a review of my UP by Jawbone, but simply a (long winded) summary of my history with it them.
 

Health & Gizmos

[THE Lowly Peon] [13 November 2011]
I love gizmos, and I love feeling healthy. So what better than a gizmo that helps you be healthier?
 

My Running Goal

[THE Lowly Peon] [05 November 2011]
I've been running a bunch lately, and it feels great. In fact, I continuously get notifications from Runkeeper.com that I've beaten my personal record for distance, distance in a week, etc. (See my progress here!)
 

UP by Jawbone

[THE Lowly Peon] [05 November 2011]
I decided to get an UP by Jawbone, a bracelet that tracks your activity in hopes of making you more active and healthier. I'm aware that this is a gimmick, but I'm excited to track my activity. Data!
 

Tipping

[THE Lowly Peon] [24 October 2011]
I worked in the service industry a long time. Sometimes front of the house, sometimes back of the house, sometimes as an expeditor. And in all those years, I worked for tips. Rather, I worked because it was my job (big difference), and earned tips as a result. And in all those years, and in every year since, I've wondered why the hell the system wo
 

Naps

[THE Lowly Peon] [09 October 2011]
I don't really understand how people can take naps so frequently. Due to a pretty interesting weekend I am running very short on sleep, so daisy and I just took a quick nap. And now, a few minutes after having woken up, I am very very confused.
 

Apparently, I love 'Consuming Media'

[THE Lowly Peon] [04 October 2011]
Lately I really have felt that there's not enough time in a day. The weather in Houston has finally dropped below 95f, I've been really into exercising, and it's fall, which means good TV is on.
 

Bonnne & Clyde

[THE Lowly Peon] [27 September 2011]
Bonnie & Clyde used to be one of my favorite movies. I thought of it as this beautiful untraditional love movie, and, at the time, I was really into untraditional love movies (see
 

Hi Avalantern!

[THE Lowly Peon] [10 September 2011]
Hahah I haven't been on this site in a long while. So I thought I'd say hi.
 

Originals

[THE Lowly Peon] [01 September 2011]
I don't get it. If a typical animation has about 24 frames per second, doesn't that mean an animation that's been around for years should have tons of frames — gels — floating around?
 

Area Fifty-One Infinite Loop

[THE Lowly Peon] [26 August 2011]
Being in Houston, it's way to hot to run outside, so I've been running on a treadmill for the last several months. I hate it. But it does afford me some time to watch really crappy television.
 

Heat

[THE Lowly Peon] [20 August 2011]
For those of you who may not think Houston is really all that hot, here's a quick anecdote for you.
