Twittering and Running
There’s a group of Knoxville Twitterish types gearing up to run the Jingle Bell 5k here in Knoxville on December 13. Brandon over at Knoxify has more information, including team name and link to sign up. Oh wait, I can give you that here. Come on out and run with us while you can still [...]
I Don’t Get Out Much
 At least not anymore.  But I was out for most of the day today, at least if you consider the mall and grocery store as “out”.  When I say I don’t get out much, I’m talking about the house and my pajamas.  I mean that I literally don’t get out of my pajamas much. [...]
Best Post About Running…EVER!
I don’t know why, but the other day I thought about a post I read on a running message board a few years ago. When I read this post I immediately copied it and pasted it into an email to myself because: (1) It is one of the funniest and most insane things I’ve ever [...]
The Perfect Run and Another New Balance Ad
Hungry Mother on “that” run: I thought about my “magic run” back in 1977, when I was on sabbatical leave at Duke. On day, when I was doing a power walk, I jogged for 3 miles for the first time in my life. That run was smooth and effortless. I felt as though I could [...]
Running is a Bitch
This New Balance may be exactly what I need to get me to renew my relationship with her. It’s really good. There’s a whole new series of New Balance ads out, but this one is my favorite. It perfectly sums up how I feel about running (when I’m fit).
If You’re Thinking of Upgrading WordPress
I’ve already received a few emails about this upgrade and keeping WordPress up to date. First off, the one I posted about last night is a release candidate. I wouldn’t recommend upgrading until the new version is actually released. Example, I’m not running it on this blog yet, only on a development blog. When you [...]
Dream Ticket? Whose Dream Is This?
When MLK said that he had a dream that little black boys and little white girls would one day hold hands run on a presidential ticket together, is this what he had in mind? If so, we should stop referring to him as a civil rights leader and change his title to Republican strategist. Hillary [...]
Sort The Viewers, Not The Movies
My buddy IB sent this article to me…very interesting. Netflix is running a contest for data crunchers and offering $1M to anyone (or any team) that can beat their current recommendation system by 10%. One of the leaders is a psychologist working by himself who is looking less at raw data and more at human [...]
I Never Thought I’d Live To See It
Tennessee is the top ranked team in the nation? In basketball? Men’s basketball? You have to understand, I attended the University of Tennessee during the reigns of Wade Houston and Kevin O’Neil. I was a pretty die hard fan back then. Of course it was easy to sit in the front row of the student [...]
Yeah, What He Said
The other day I posted a meandering attempt at not ranting about information technology and the manufacturing sector. Today, Seth Godin wrote a post about basically the same thing. The difference is, his post actually makes some sense. Talent is too smart to stay long at a company that wants it to be a cog [...]
