What I learned today…

...from running. I'm sure these could be adapted to anything in life.When it rains, either run faster or find a warm, dry place. Anything else is just stupid.Running more often makes it easier, no matter the distance. It's easier to add 5 five minutes every four days than to add ...

Job Hunting ain’t so bad…

Why I don’t use Foursquare, Gowalla or any other location-based services (anymore)

The concept behind location-based services like Foursquare and Gowalla is fantastic. Check in using GPS, see who you know (or who you don't) is around and maybe even earn a free drink or discounted meal. It's like playing a massive game of bingo and it's fun. For a while. (Now that ...
