200 workouts per year – that's been my goal since 2021. People asked how. So I wrote a post explaining what works for me: learntodobydoing.com/2023/01…

200 Workouts Per Year

One of the goals I have set for myself the past two years has been to get in 200 workouts a year. Why 200? It’s a nice round number so it feels more important that 204 or 196. It’s a re…

I often hear about Messi that he’s arguably the greatest player ever. Who is arguing for anyone else?

My timeline is all Elon Musk taking over twitter and this video of pilots intentionally crashing a jet.

In 2012, a group of Mexican scientists intentionally crashed a Boeing 727 to test which seats had the best chance of survival.

Hey @nytsports – on July 14, 2014 @MattDuniganTSN threw for 714 yards in a game playing for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers vs Edmonton Eskimos. I was there and it was astonishing and I can't believe you didn't even mention it in the article below. nytimes.com/2022/09/28/sport…

A Passing Record Even Marino, Manning and Brady Haven’t Touched (Published 2022)

Norm Van Brocklin threw for 554 yards in a game in 1951. A few players have come close but, even in a pass-heavy era of football, none have surpassed his total.

I am so tired of seeing these pictures. And I’m so tired of the intentional delay tactics of the @bcndp that allow it to continue happening every day in these irreplaceable ecosystems. Absolutely disgraceful @jjhorgan @KatrineConroy @GeorgeHeyman

Never easy to go back to a forest after it’s gone. @wildernews campaign organizer Em, at a giant red cedar tree, last spring, and again today. Caycuse Valley, unceded Ditidaht territory. #bcpoli #oldgrowth

Why has round cheese for burgers not yet been invented? We can send someone to the moon but here I am double cutting aged cheddar to get proper coverage. Sure, there’s provolone if you’re fancy and stock your cheese locker well. But for the rest of us.

Tech questions for 2022 — Benedict Evans

Sometimes the centre of gravity in tech is very clear, but as we enter 2022 there are lots of areas where trillion dollar questions are wide open. These are the questions I wonder about today, from...

Straight up 2021 brag. I set a goal of 200 workouts for the year and hit it today, bang on. Is that lots? Not really. It’s 4/7 days every week. Tracked on a monthly paper calendar, summed each month to know if I was on track. 2022 goal? 200 workouts too. Let’s go!
