Years ago, I wrote a post called “A Boy Named Milo: Xbox Project Natal and The Matrix“. I also wrote a post called “Our Kids will Make us Feel Old“. I am here to tell you that it’s all true and I was really wrong in my conclusion. I have been thinking about for a […]
I Missed My Fitbit Goal. The Epitome of Stupidity and Laziness
About 3 years ago I bought a Fitbit. I used it to help jump-start an exercise binge and did Insanity (I drafted something about that in 2013 that maybe I will post if it still makes sense). I probably bought it because wearables were kind of new and I just wanted one to be totally […]
