  • A Wrench in the Quick Eats System
    In an effort to be somewhat environmentally conscious and serve my desire for drive and eat convenience, I once tried asking for something out of the ordinary at a local fast food chain and threw a wrench into the whole system. Not long after that experience, I tried it again at a different establishment and experienced the briefest moment of cosmic connection and understanding. Lesson learned? Some systems are optimized for conformity; others are not.

  • The Mobile Home We Did Not Buy
    We bought a mobile home back in 1995. But before we bought that one, we did not buy another one. This is the story of the other one. You'll understand why. Oh, I also mentioned the Meta Minute concept again not realizing that I already released my first Meta Minute episode in December. Ha! Oh well, these things are often stream of consciousness, and sometimes these kinds of things will happen. Enjoy!

  • Meta Minute: WordPress, Libsyn Publisher, and the Divi Theme
    With this episode, I'd like to introduce a new podcast segment I call the "Meta Minute" where I share some behind-the-scenes stories about the process of producing these episodes. With this first Meta Minute release, I talk about my mild frustration with the episode release tasks and share my thoughts for some things I want to try in order to streamline the work. Specifically, I use Libsyn as my podcast host and run a WordPress them using the Divi theme from Elegant Themes. It's a great theme, and I have been using it for years both personally and professionally. But some of the mechanics for releasing each episode get tiresome, and I'm ready to try some things differently to make the whole experience more efficient. I hope you enjoy this slightly different angle on this humble podcasting journey.

  • I Finally Bought A Fat Bike!
    Big news on the fitness front: I finally bought a fat bike! I have wanted a fat bike so I could start winter mountain biking for at least five years. But every year, I have seemed to find other ways to prioritize my spending or just couldn't convince myself it made sense. But last weekend, the murky clouds in the overcast sky of another non-cycling winter season parted, and glorious rays of sunshine shone down upon me and led me to the fat bike sale post I have been waiting for all this time! Less than three hours later, I was driving home with an immaculately clean used 2018 Specialized Fatboy. Oh man…I am so excited! And in this episode, I share some of my enthusiasm about the newest addition to my stable.

  • 28 - It's almost Nordic Ski Season! Revisiting an oldie, but a goodie.
    In this episode, I revisit a podcast I recorded several years ago about my newfound love for Nordic skiing, a.k.a. skate skiing. I change things up a bit this time by doing some recording from my studio as well as integrating the original audio from back when I recorded my skiing thoughts. Also, during the episode, I discuss the book that really inspired me checking out cross-country skiing in the first place: Younger Next Year by Chris Crowley and Henry Lodge. Great book!

  • 27 - Virtual Conference Fatigue
    Are you feeling the fatigue of all these "virtual conferences"? I know that I am. I understand the shift to all online delivery, and I've been playing along. But I confess I am growing weary of this new pattern. In this episode, I share some of my thoughts on why I am feeling Virtual Conference Fatigue and share at least a couple of ideas on possible ways to change how we do things going forward.

  • No 3D Printing for Me, I Guess

    I thought I really wanted to get into 3D printing...until someone gave me one. As it turns out, I just don't really have enough interest to engage this particular hobby. And as a registered serial hobby jumper, this surprised me.

    In this episode, I talk a little bit about why I love being a Serial Hobby Jumper and then share the insights I had about myself and my apparent lack of interest in 3D printing as a hobby. At least for now.

    I also tease the idea of the Season of Jason, the details of which are shared in Episode 6: The Season of Jason.

    During this episode, I mention the brand "Missionary" Belt which is wrong. It's just "Mission" Belt, and they are awesome. Check them out here: https://missionbelt.com/

    Also, I used the wrong intro on this episode. I accidentally dropped in the original "On THE Drive Home" intro. The vs. My. Oh well, it's fine. I'll fix that next time around.

    Listen in to hear more, and I hope you enjoy this episode.
