Wow. Every year I show up back home in Louisville, thinking Derby will be good, but there’s no way it can top last year. Every year I’ve been wrong. This year was simply fantastic. My good friend Dan Winn made it into town and I got […]

It’s been a while since I made any real changes to my diet. Back in April of 2005, I tried a 2 month stint of focusing on whole grains and good fats. From what I remember, it was the social implications that were the kicker, as I had a hard time finding […]

I signed up for two marathons this week. Not because it was the physically or fiscally smart thing to do, but because it’s running and I guess that’s what I do. I’ve often wondered why I’m blessed/cursed with running as my ‘thing.’ Some people’s ‘thing’ is technology, some are great writers, […]

I just recently had a birthday. As I move well into my mid-20’s (I turned 26), people keep asking me if I feel old. The truth is, I haven’t really thought about it, so I guess that means the answer is no. Since leaving my corporate bonds, I have truly […]

I signed up for an Ironman Triathlon. My parents don’t understand why I signed up for it. While at first I could understand their concern, lately I realized that it was more than that. They really just don’t understand why I want to do it.
I’ve been running marathons for a few years now, and have […]

It’s funny how procrastination works. You stop doing something for a while, and then the wall you have to climb over to start again just grows higher and higher, the longer you are away.  I finally had some people question me about my lack of blogging, so I’m going to revive this blog with a […]

I’m afraid I’m about to be discovered. As I write this, I’m sitting outside on the sidewalk outside “The Gamestop” A video game store in Redmond, Washington. Today is the first day to pre-order the Playstation 3, which is the next gaming console from Sony. Word about the pre-order came […]

So I’ve started a magazine. Or more accurately, I’ve co-founded a magazine called The Social Man with Niels Hoven, my extraordinary friend and old college roommate. It’s a big project, that I’ll write more on later, but we believe in our idea so it’s going to happen (thanks to Niels, who for some […]

I’ve been selfish.
Up until now, this blog has been mainly for me. It’s a mind dump when I get an idea that I need to hash out. Therefore, it’s poorly edited, long-winded, and barely consumable by the above-average human.
I’ve gotten some feedback, and I’m now currently thinking of a few different options. I’m going to […]
