I ordered my first fitbit, the classic, on March 8th 2010, each day I wait in anticipation for production to ramp up. Finally on May 18th my fitbit shipped. Sadly my fitbit died a few month later, as I completed my first half marathon. I found out the hard way the fitbit wasn’t water resistant at all. The fitbit also didn’t seem very durable construction wise, but I didn’t exactly wear it as directed.

When I first started to run I would run excessive at the gym, indoors on a treadmill. The idea of running outside, where the elements and nature could interfere with my feeble attempt at running horrified me. I knew I need help to start running, couch to 5k apps where all the rage. They where all relatively cheap and similarly priced at $2.99. I knew I would eventually outgrow the 5k apps, as I was targeting completing a half-marathon.

I was listing podcast the other day where they where talking about HIIT, High Intensity Interval Training.; more specifically the Tabata and Little Methods. I wasn’t able to sleep last night and figured I would look into the Little Method more. Only to find the infographic above from the same source I linked to the other day, http://greatist.com/, they my soon have a place in my daily reading line up. Oh, and I plan on using Little Method when I visit the gym for a short 30 minute run this evening.

Isn’t it nice Apple has posted the exact dimensions for the cases makers? I’m not buying an iPhone5 myself anytime soon, however I just found the blueprints nifty.

It is that time of year when Apple is poised to release yet another version of the iPhone. I recall my first iPhone, the orginal, which I beat up fairly well. I bought it with the intent of jailbreaking it and running it of T-Mobile. I upgraded to the 3G a year later but this time I opted to sign up for an AT&T contract. When the iPhone 4 came out the 3G was slugish and I loved the ascetic look of the 4 and yes I did upgrade to the iPhone 4S, mostly for well I don’t know Bluetooth 4.

I the course of building and deploying this site one particular site has been truly helpful, Stack Overflow. Today I was finally able to give back and answer a fairly simple question that had me perplex when I first encountered it, Jekyll on Heroku listing additional (internal?) posts I haven’t created. The probelm: Jekyll on heroku publishes mysterious pages, and they all relate to your project someway, somehow. The solution: Let’s call the directory where Jekyll is installed & running from the root /.

Why is it I can never remember: rake post title="Hello World" or rake page name="about.md"
