Starcraft II and the Authenticator

So I got Starcraft II on release day thanks to Amazon Prime and their Free Release Day Shipping… yet another way I can help pay off my subscription.  I noticed in my email that my account was locked out due to security concerns and my password was submitted for change.  I decided that I should [...]

Planning for Camping: GORP

I came across a site that I like, GORP.  I’m doing research on places to hike and camp in the US, and this website is very thorough.  In addition, they have a trail finder which allows you to get detailed information about various trails based on location.  My goal is to find a series of [...]

Camping and Hiking Gear

I got a coupon in my email for 25% off of REI equipment, exciting!  I decided at that point that it was time to get a tent and a backpack.  This is of course in preparation for future trips where I will be blending in with the nature and the sunshine… odd for me.  I [...]

TDF 2010 Tour Tracker

I decided that I should have some 2010 TDF coverage even though I don’t have cable.  It didn’t seem fair to rip it off the net so I’m officially paying for it $20.00 on Versus.com. If I had an IPhone it would be nice to use their official tour tracker app which gives livegps coverage [...]

Running:Walking 1:1

Today I ran with Kirk from http://www.spryfeet.com doing a 1 minute walking and 1 minute running pace.  It was probably the best I have every felt, and for 11 miles that is saying a lot.  I’m fairly certain that I wasn’t even the last person to finish this time.  My total time out was close [...]

The Oatmeal

Today is the 1 year birthday of The Oatmeal, and there was a 50% coupon for The Oatmeal Shop!  I have been reading a big fan of The Oatmeal for a while now, and have been wanting fan stuffs for a while now. I decided to get some things… Cereal with Milk Signed print from [...]

Returning Home

I have discovered that traveling abroad is not as hard as I first imagined.  If Russia is one of the harder countries to get in and out of then the rest of the world should be fairly straight forward.  I think this will be the beginning of many trips in the future. I’m surprised about [...]

Overcoming Obstacles

Today I had an amazingly productive day.  I woke up one time at 5:00am… yeah, on Saturday… and ran with Houston Fit Fall (a marathon training program).  I missed the last two weekends of training (the long runs), and thus my previous maximum distance ever run was 6 miles.  Today the group set out to [...]
