The Tao of Me

Workout: AM: Sleep! PM: 5-mile run I intended to go to a Dailey Method 6 am class today, but once again, I just couldn’t get out of bed. I was upset with myself because I could feel a pattern developing here. But later in the day, after work I headed out for a run. Being [...]

Saturday’s 12-miler at Lacamas Lake left me covered in bug bites. Apparently after an extended rainy Spring, the area has had a real problem with mosquitos. That left me to find new routes to explore for the rest of the week that I’m here. For today’s 5-miler I stayed in the surrounding neighborhood. I ran [...]

I first played Rock Band on Christmas Day with the fam and discovered my inner rock star. I LOVE being the lead singer and can sing “Eye of the Tiger” perfectly. So yesterday morning, as I was getting ready for work, I remembered that I had just downloaded the Rock Band app to my iPhone. [...]

Yesterday was a bad, bad day and it got progressively worse as the day went on. It got to the point where everything just annoyed me. Usually when I get like this I’ll listen to music as a pick-me-up, but I just wasn’t interested. I started to feel better when I volunteered at the House [...]

My iPhone manages my life. I cannot live without it. You name it, and I have an app for it. So when Apple announced the new iPhone OS 3.0 last week, I was so excited to see the new features. Apparently, the rest of the world was too. Apple sure knows how to build the [...]

I love gadgets. I really do. This is the latest one I’m experimenting with: Its the Flip Video Camcorder. [asa]B001HSOFI2[/asa] Its a handheld HD camcorder that’s smaller than my regular digital camera! With just a few control buttons, its very simple to use and charges + syncs through a built-in USB connector. When I figure [...]

a friend of mine created the “instant button.” its a removable button that adjusts “too big” waistbands. ok i admit, the first time i used it, i put it on wrong (didnt read the instructions), but thankfully, medha corrected me. once i got it all worked out it was great! it attaches to your jeans, [...]
