Bizjam Seattle

I’m going to be speaking at Bizjam Seattle this Wednesday afternoon about my high road approach to blogging (eschewing SEO snake oil and not being an annoying person on every social network).

June cycling/diet update

Cycling is going really well since the weather is nice. I rode 398 miles (just shy of my target 400-500 per month this summer) in June and I did quite a bit of hill climbing work, with over 20,000 feet climbed for the month (the month previous was about half that).
Diet-wise, I sort of [...]


May Cycling/diet update

May was a good month for biking. The weather improved to the point where I could ride pretty much any day I wanted to, taking my monthly mileage up to 333 miles (last month was a paltry 185). I surpassed the first of my goals for the year, which was to ride 1,000 miles [...]

We recorded in the afternoon after a long day of work so I sound like I’m on quaaludes for the first five minutes or so, but eventually I perk up.


Quote from the Hodge that I just found while ego searching…

John Hodgman: No, I do not take requests. I’m sorry. I learned my lesson after the I AM NOT MATT HAUGHEY incident of Portland (look it up).

It’s good to know I’ve had an impact.


Interviewapolooza

Anyone that follows this blog probably knows me and my projects pretty well, but you’ll probably learn something new and/or get a kick out of something I’ve said in recent interviews. I was on the BoingBoing podcast a couple weeks ago, with the last 20 minutes or so devoted to talking about how I run [...]
