- This video of a miniature wunderland is absolutely incredible. Neil Young, you may have a run for your money!
(via @billammend)...
The song I can't get enough of lately is Holocene, by Bon Iver. I have nothing insiteful to say, nothing mind blowing, just that the song is incredible and I have a hard time not
Bolder Boulder Pre-Game Thoughts
[THE Lowly Peon] [20 May 2012]
Many of the 'rados will be heading to Boulder this weekend to run the famous "Bolder Boulder" 10k.
Working Remotely
[THE Lowly Peon] [20 March 2012]
For the last week or so, I've gotten a taste of what it means to work remotely. Nothing I've learned is anything profound, but it's been a great time for me to try something out I've always been curious about.
Toothbrush Machine
[THE Lowly Peon] [16 March 2012]
A few months ago, Daisy & I took the plunge and decided to get an electric toothbrush. I did a bunch of research, and we decided to go with a Philips Sonicare Fancy-pants model.
Living Like Don Draper
[THE Lowly Peon] [15 March 2012]
Now that daisy and I have moved back to sweet home, Chicago, I'm realizing how many stark differences there are between my life in Houston, working for a manufacturing company, and what it could be working in Chicago for a non-manufacturing company.
Mission Accomplished!
[THE Lowly Peon] [26 February 2012]
Pretty much ever since I've been running for regular exercise, I've run somewhere between 3 and 4 miles. Sometimes even less. But then, a few months ago, I went for a run and felt so good that, in the words of
Song of the Week: Love is All
[THE Lowly Peon] [19 February 2012]
It's been a while since I've posted a song of the week, and thanks to iTunes Match, my last.fm stats are completely goofed up since November.
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
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
