Blessed Are The Cold Rivers: Willpower For Chill Power
May 22 2013
I had a great cold water swim today in a river. The river was high because of a wild, violent thunderstorm last night in Vermont, so I was actually able to swim against the current and stay in one place (my own "endless pool"). It was not just dive in… read moreMay 10 2013
It wasn't intentional–there isn't an easy way to privatise a small mountain in Vermont–but I had a nice time climbing alone this week. Soulful, and not all that super easy. I went up to a place called Burnt Rock Mountain.No one else at all happened to be hiking on the… read moreDweeby Troll Sightings and The 'Get A Life' File

I'm going to spend about 30 seconds on this post, but to set the record straight there is nothing in the book Fitness For Geeks about New Age auras. 99.9 percent of readers know what a "healthy glow" is, but if you're one of the illiterate 0.1 percent, try getting… read moreThe New Kindle Book "Barbarous Coasts"

A seasoned cop, a paroled hacker, and epic chicanery in the financial world.A well-dressed man falls forty-two floors off the roof of a New York City hotel. A Big League pitcher witnesses the event. Somehow, Detective Karl Standt, a Vermont boy who's made his mark in the big city, believes… read moreApril 23 2013
I was driving on the highway down from Vermont yesterday, ears glued to the radio stream, talking to family members on my cell phone and locating others. We got a text message from a nephew who was about a mile from the finish line on the marathon course. I talked… read more10 Ways To Respond To Workout And Sports Injuries
April 23 2013
I can relate to this one because I got injured last weekend, my lower back around the lumbar spine, which can be scary. I completely failed #1 and #8 below, but now I seem to be on a fast road to recovery. At 56, I've had many common sports injuries… read moreEndomondo and Strava Sprinters Have a New Instructional Ebook
April 19 2013
Today, I rode my mountainbike since spring has finally arrived in the northeast U.S. I had both Strava and Endomondo apps running during the ride, because I like looking at both results pages.In the same spirit of "riding the two apps," I recently wrote a short book called Using Smartphone Apps… read moreThis AP Picture Says It All Today
April 19 2013
This Associated Press picture says it all today–Boston, closed, in a wait-and-see mode as suspect(s) are pursued by police throughout the Metro area. Boston, closed!!I was in Boston late last night with my wife. I can say that normalcy had apparently returned–for just a few hours.This site is as good… read moreNew Book For Strava And Endomondo Sprinters

This ebook includes step-by-step instructions for custom designing your own interval program and using the built-in interval programs in Endomondo. It also describes how to use the popular… read moreApril 09 2013
The 2000 movie Cast Away is really about a man who never has enough time–he runs around with a stopwatch trying to get his FedEx workers moving, and can't even spend Christmas with his fiancee–then suddenly has so much empty time marooned on a South Pacific island that he attempts… read moreWhat Should Kids Eat For Breakfast? Ask Their Grandma...
March 24 2013
I sat next to a guy on a plane, nice fella, whose business it was to sell affordable packages of breakfast to USA school districts. His target student "wasn't the kid who drives a BMW to school and eats breakfast at Starbucks," but kids in cash-starved districts where they only… read moreMarch 01 2013
I gave an interview recently to a Swedish outfit called Psykologifabriken (Psychology Factory). See here, for all of the Swedish speakers among you. Here is my edited and translated version: Q. We want to change the small behaviors of people. What do you consider the first step: the smallest, easiest… read moreFebruary 12 2013
Is self tracking innate behavior or just a glib facet of the digital age? People have a built-in need to capture and depict their experiences, and that's probably been true for centuries. Millenia. Human history has left us with cave paintings of surprising creativity, detail, and craft that rival… read more
