Cord Cutting

I am not a big fan of television programming these days with a few exceptions.

Fortunatley these exceptions have alternative means of distrubution other than a cable or satellite service.

I’ve alternated between Netflix and Amazon Prime. Someday I’ll have to decide.

What about news and sports, however?

I’ve been testing out a new service called Aereo that is in slow release. $8 a month with up to 60 hours of DVR, all online.

That just solved a lot of issues for me and sealed the deal.

With that, I’ve cut costs by cutting the cord.

Fear + Suffering

“My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer,” the boy told the alchemist one night as they looked up at the moonless sky.” Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams.”

– The Alchemist

Hybrid Fitness

There are way too many fitness trends out there and not anyone of them can do the job for you alone.

P90X, yoga, adventure racing, crossfit, circuit training, pilates…which do I choose?

I choose them all, or a mixture of them.

Like writing code in Ruby on Rails, you can take the best parts and move them around to fit for the best results.

That way I can create my own all-inclusive workout program.

Would also like to find a team sport to participate in too. Something that will take me back to my youth when I spent all day outside.

Which reminds me of Calvinball of course…
