Again, Take a Break or Burnout
by
Certainly not the first time I’ve mentioned the need to take a break and risking burnout but here is another note. I once knew a pro triathlete who I came to coach who decided to skip recovery weeks and press on regardless of how tired he was. He was never the same again. Overtraining took…
Awesome Cycling Videos
by
Since I totally keep it a secret I’ll just let it out, I like bikes. I like everything about cycling culture and don’t feel like I get to enjoy quite enough of it. Today I picked out a 4 awesome cycling videos, all with a different feel and about different parts of cycling. Enjoy! ###…
Editing Code on the iPad
by
Panic released Coda 2 (AppStore) and Diet Coda (AppStore) recently. Coda 2 will replace Coda 1 for me, it’s my cowboy coding (live on the server) tool and nothing is even close for that task. Probably more intriguing is Diet Coda though. On my ride to Seattle I left the laptop (13″ MBP) since carrying…
On Being Distracted
by
Last weekend while playing with my daughter I found myself constantly taking out my phone to check on things. Things like Facebook (and I don’t even really like Facebook), Twitter and Path. I was rarely just enjoying the moments with my kid. I thought I was better than that. In steps this short video on…
The Next Epic Ride – All the Fraser Valley Peaks

Now that I’m fully recovered from my [ride to Seattle][seat] I’m itching for a new epic ride in August. I’ve got the [Fraser Valley GranFondo][fvgf] in July and I want to have a decent amount of time to train for the next epic. I’m thinking that I need something longer than the 200km to Seattle,…
Stop Making Others Pay for YOUR Stupid
by
Yet another article form 8bit Dad, though not on parenting this time, has got me thinking about the stupid people that we are surrounded with. Turns out parents don’t think that their children will be able to tug on the cord and wrap it around their necks. Toddlers are never known to tug on anything…
Dad’s On the Outside
by
This article made be think of all the times that Dad’s get left out of the parenting equation by society. One of the most annoying things about caring for my daughter is shopping. I’m not going to mention whining or anything like that, how about when she needs a diaper change and there is no…
Getting Your Freelance Business to Succeed

When looking at becoming a Freelancer (yes I dislike that term but it’s understood) you need to make sure that you have a marketable skill. Design, development, photography, writing, all translate easy to a marketable skill. Even if you have that skill there is something way more important to have or you’re not going to…
WordPress Desktop Wallpapers
by
Ryan Duff pointed me at these earlier today and there are some great WordPress desktop backgrounds. He also pointed me to Blotter (AppStore. I’m not sure that I have a use for a desktop calendar since I have Fantastical (AppStore) and I normally have my Apps taking up most of my screen. I know there…
Balancing Working from Home and Kids
by
One of the reasons I wanted to be working for myself was so I could spend time with my future (at the time) children. My dad worked hard outside of the home and was gone for 12 hours a day, talking to him now that I’m an adult, he wishes he could have been around…
