Free Digital ReadyMade Magazine; Spring De-cluttering

One of my favorite magazines (indeed, one of the very few for which I am willing to pay), ReadyMade, has just launched its digital edition with the current April/May 2008 issue on “green design.” ReadyMade is a wonderful resource for do-it-yourself aficionados and handy types who prefer to reuse, refashion, repurpose, and rehab their existing […]

Review: Is P90X Right For YOU? (Requirements and Overview)

P90X parent company Beachbody must be spamming the heck out of the TV infomercial channels this month, because I keep getting emails from readers asking if P90X is right for them based on my run with the program a few years ago.

1/17/08 Log: FURMINATOR!

Hmm…not much to talk about today on the fitness front. I woke up too late for an AM skate, and I had a lot of work to do at the office. I stayed until almost 9 PM to finish up my tasks for a milestone build going out Friday in order to take […]
