Workin it!

Been quite caught up with different things, preparing for the Northface 100, school and work. Learning that being piled with alot of stuff forces one to prioritize pretty effectively. It’s been good. Decided i needed to post, because i needed to post. It’s just like running. You go out and run, and you’ll have good [...]

Keep On

Keeping on, whatever that thing is to you. It’s like that 5km run that i’ve always been striving to hit effortlessly. I envisioned clearing 5km with nary a breakout of perspiration. The feeling of doing it was pretty close actually, and it was something i managed to do over the long weekend. I started out [...]

Sole Food

I finally did it. I ran barefoot yesterday. After more than a month of minimalist running, i.e running in my ninja shoes, i decided to unshod my feet and let ‘em rip. The genesis of that story will most probably be the subject of another post. A little over-enthusiasm ensured that slight blisters on both [...]

Emusic.com was great when i stumbled upon it about 5 years ago. It was new, it was the feisty underdog biting at the heels of the Goliath of online music stores, iTunes store. It had all these cool obscure independent labels that were hard to find elsewhere.

Chatter Chatter

I’m an iPhone fan (and unabashedly so), and i’ve been eagerly the launch of the iPhone 3.0 O/S at the WWDC so i can get my grubby hands on some of the long overdue features such as cut/paste, MMS etc. That however is not the point. I’m just staggered by the amount of conversations going [...]

DIY publishing: Power to the People

Ok i’ve hit a posting frenzy, but it’s because i want to remember some of the crazy stuff i’ve been seeing. Fanzines have come a long way from the old gritty photostated DIY stacks of paper put together. Check out the Web 2.0 equivalent:
