    Duga/Chernobyl was quite the trip. Very interesting standing in the control rooms for that radar where they showed the US missiles they were looking for, coming over the horizon. Growing your own food is bad for the environment though! The environment of someone else controlling your food...

    Yeah I get that. I gave up on a few of his books but liked Anathem and Seveneves.

    I got a shot in the morning of prednisone. By the end of the day I could walk. I went for a run the day after. The long run was a week after that. Prednisone worked amazingly fast. And I cut out alcohol completely until I convince myself I won't have a 3-4 a night habit like before.

    This talk about getting old, etc. I figured I would share this. I recently got into running, probably due to this forum and the Zuck thread where I realized I couldn't outrun Zuck. I discovered Jack Daniel's running book, and started doing the running exercises. In one week I quadrupled my...

    Feb 2020 I got a place to rent in FL for 1400something a month. The same place, which is <750 sqft, is now pushing 2400/month. When the lease renewal came up late last year I started searching and was able to get a place almost 3x the size to buy, albeit not in downtown like I had been. If I...

    I got hit by a double whammy this week: Back tweak. This happens to be occasionally. I think I know a solution to fix an imbalance to stop it from happening. Usually bothers me for <2 weeks then I'm back to lifting normal heavy weights. I have new exercises to try but I'm not ready because I...

    I finally got a good turn on video. A buddy had setup a camera and I turned around it. It took quite some time to learn how to do this. It's a delicate act of keeping the foil high enough so that you don't slow down and stop flying, and low enough so that you don't get it out of the water and...

    Weekly Progress: What will you get done this week?

    1) Wrap up key features so that I can focus on making my webapp more presentable 2) I may make a video showing what I'm doing to see if I can generate more interest. Don't think I'll make a sell yet other than advertising my app building skills 3) I wasted a bunch of time the past month. This...

    Russell Brand; establishment takedown or legit concerns?

    Life in the west seems to be going the way that there is dirt or potential dirt on just about everyone important. They just keep it quiet for people on the "correct" side and punish the "wrong" side when it is time.

    My experience in the San Juans, where the Washington house is, was as a tourist on a boat, as well as on a sailboat race to one of the islands and back to Anacortes. Very gorgeous out there with what can be some intense rain/windy weather. I would like it for part of the year. After 8 years of...

    Are you as fit as Mark Zuckerburg? (Probably not)

    HEALTH 
    Figured I would share this here as hitting that goal to be as fast as Zuck can have setbacks. I tweaked my achilles, likely by going too fast too soon with running. I looked around on what to do about it and was able to get almost all of the pain to go away before trying to run again. I'm being...

    QR Codes vs. Tickets for Small Events - What's Your Take?

    QUESTION 
    On a recent trip out of the country where we were staying in hotels, it was really convenient to have a QR code right there on our phone for concerts or other events. There was one event where we HAD to have a paper printed ticket, which luckily was easy to get printed at the hotel lobby. It...

    Was finishing up my last set at the gym and everyone's phones went off at once for the hurricane storm surge warning. Hoping it's not too bad but you never know with the forecasts until right before

    Was running home from the gym along a trail next to some power lines, and heard a loud pop/electrical arc noise. Then, saw a puff of yellow/brown smoke and a bunch of birds took off and start squawking. Caused a short power outage. Think it was a bird that just disappeared in a puff of smoke...

    I've thought about this some, but don't have a good action to take. I really like the idea of reusable packaging making a come back, but I think it's held up by logistics. Now, there's something going on with packaging material, cardboard boxes, etc. going somewhere from my curb and getting...

    Moving from Seattle to FL made a great difference with my income. Now I am just working on increasing it without it being tied to one employer. Oh yeah, and I was able to buy a house within a bike ride of a few beaches for half the price of what it would have been near work, not near beaches...
