Sounds like a great opportunity for a tech-heavy review unit :)

Had to take the fat bike out in the fresh snow. Unfortunately it was already turning to slush underneath the top inch or so, so this was a rough pedal. I think I’ve run faster than this on clear pavement 🤣

Order another drink from the hotel bar. You've earned it.

The first one is just an ordinary nail salon, but ya the hallways are often super weird and creepy. The mall has been remodeled and expanded a few times and so I think some of that is remnants of the original layout and footprint.

Just a note that Axon is pretty much THE body cam company in America so they're deeply tied in with law enforcement.

Considering how our TTRPG session went... I think it was an AWESOME idea

My YouTube feed is pretty well curated down to off-grid homesteaders and outdoor adventurers making films in cool places, oh some cool music stuff. Sometimes I'll just put on a quiet video of someone building an outhouse to escape. Or an ASMR camping video.

Also gives me vibes of Proof by Induction from last season

It’s Storytime with Wil Wheaton You may recognize Wil Wheaton’s name from his acting work in television shows like The Big Bang Theory, Leverage, and Star Trek: The Next Generation, or 1985’s timeless classic, Stand B…

This week, I'm going to get way out of my comfort zone and promote the hell out of my podcast. I'm so proud of the work we are doing, and I want as many people as possible to know it exists.

So I'll begin here:

A little astrophotography from outside the hotel tonight

I know it’s too early to truly celebrate, and caution is highly warranted. But in this moment it feels like this flag now means something more than it was ever intended to. Compassion, truth, and freedom. May we never forget and always remain vigilant.

Race Report: Arrowhead 135 DNF Alex Pretti and Renee Good. May their names be eternal. We were barely an hour outside the Twin Cities when my wife’s phone started getting texts from her friends about the second murder of an American citizen in Minneapolis by federal agents. She let me know what was going on as I continued to drive. When we stopped for snacks in Hinckley, MN I admitted that I almost turned the van around.

The Trump administration calls them the ‘worst of the worst.’ Here’s what we found. The federal government has identified only a fraction of the immigrants it has detained. Many have violent criminal records, but few were wanted by police.

About 80% of the 240 people on the DHS' “worst of the worst” list have felony convictions.

But nearly everyone on the list has gone through the court system, served time for their crimes and was not actively wanted by police when they were detained by ICE.

Preschooler and three other students detained by ICE, school district leader says The detentions of Columbia Heights students come after weeks of heightened concern and enforcement presence near and on Twin Cities school property.

Minnesotans want safety. They want freedom. They want what’s best for our kids.

Masked agents snatching preschoolers off the street and sending them to Texas detention centers serves none of those purposes.

This campaign of retribution has got to stop.

2025 Year in Review As 2025 comes to an end, it’s left me with one final gift… sickness. We’ve been surrounded by it for weeks with various friends and family going under the weather, and it’s finally our turn. I’m grateful that I had already taken off most of the week from work, but I’m also peeved that I had already taken off most of the week from work and being sick is now interfering with me getting things done.

2025 Activities year-in-review This year I’m compressing my running and biking review posts down to just one post and talking broadly about the trackable activities I did over the year. Broadly, this was a MUCH lower intensity year than I’ve had for a while. I got in just over 2100 miles throughout the year across running, biking, walking/hiking, snowshoeing, and canoeing/kayaking. This puts me in the middle of the road of my last 15 years of tracking, so I shouldn’t complain too much, but there is a bit of disappointment when you look at the numbers.

Review: Fenix HM65R-T V2.0 headlamp I started my running career using a Petzl Tikka+ headlamp that got the job done, but after a year I decided to up to a Black Diamond Spot. Both of these headlamps were solid choices and they helped me through a lot of late night and early morning runs. Yet, as the calendar keeps moving forward, and birthday after birthday passes… my aging eyes needed something more.

Love the MN bike brand representation :)

Maybe I'm just being too optimistic...

Actually I think this is a pretty subtle dig... the only way to highlight AI is to use it to plagiarize prior work. At least that's me hoping the cover artist was trying to be subversive.

Depends... if I'm going to be doing a bunch of dehydrated meals then I'm long spork all the way. If doing more cooking a nice wood spoon would be awesome.

I'm just happy that the HDMI signals all get through CEC or not. It was so much simpler in the RCA cable days 😂
