Brain is cooked

Location update: This FRIDAY, 10/19, 5:15pm and 6:15pm will meet at WILSON PLAZA. Spread the word. and if that's inconvenient, then just come to an earlier session.


I think the heat and the sun have cooked my brain over the summer. I'm out of topics to write about for a while. Frankly, I feel like I've just been rewording the same rhetoric for the last year or two.

- eat right
- build strength and speed
- enjoy muscles
- train smart
- rest
- work on mobility

That probably sums up all of the posts I've ever written.

So I'm just going to link stuff for a while until something new comes up..


If it ever cools down, I'll turn on the old crock pot and start making all sorts of meats that take days to cook. Here are a few articles that will help you justify eating large quantities of meat, IF you choose to do so.

- I like to imagine that in a good million years, something will dig up our remains and will simply deduce that our generation (the last couple thousand years) was full of a bunch of idiots.

I heard about this research back in 2008 and looks like the magical cooling glove is about to go commercial. It's still early, but data shows that the performance improvements are better than those of steroids. That's a tall order but who knows. It's interesting nonetheless and don't tell me you don't want one.. before it's banned that is.

I need this to stay cool while on the track.

Paying 120 bucks to jump around in your living room always seemed odd to me as well.

Mat is a funny guy. He's also incredibly smart and a scientist's nighmare.
