Talking ’bout my generation

Consider this the beginnings of a manifesto. There was an unusual amount of chatter this past week about “the younger generation.” Or at least it caught my attention more than usual. Apparently, we don’t want to work to be successful. We shy away from sweating. We’re self-interested, lazy ne’er-do-wells. Bad attitudes, expect the world handed…

Sometimes they just need a kick in the nuts

The Secret to Sixpack Abs

A lesson in selecting the right variables to reach your goals How many crunches can you do? Leg raises? Jackknifes? How long can you hold the front/side plank? And how is that six-pack of yours coming along? Yeah. Mine too. There have been periods in my life where I was doing thousand of crunches weekly….

Preparing for 1 Million Monthly Pageviews

Prior Planning Prevents Piss-Poor Performance. Remember that. Really, remember that. Planning is time-consuming. Fixing problems that don’t yet exist is costly, and all too often wasteful. But in the rare circumstance that you have the opportunity: build it to last, don’t build it knowing you’ll have to replace it in the near future. Frequently, there’s not…

Happy holidays

Today kicks off the holiday season in the US. For the next six week, we’ll be crowding into the homes of family and friends for big, fattening meals, drink and time with loved we don’t see often enough. In a strange twist, I’m actually looking forward to celebrating this year. Typically, I outright dread the…

A Hacker’s Guide to the Human Body

An introduction to the Four-Hour Body for the curious, wary and non-believers. Remember the scene in the movie Dogma where Rufus (the 13th apostle, played by Chris Rock) starts talking about how humanity ruins good ideas like the teachings of Jesus by arguing about the details? Rufus: Mankind got it all wrong. Taking a good idea…

To a T.

Go to college. Graduate. Get a job. Go back for your masters. Switch careers. Retire. Enjoy (what’s left of) life. That’s the plan, right? And in that order. That’s how we grow up. That’s what our grandparents did. Our parents. What our brothers and sisters and friends are doing right now. Follow the plan, take a…
