Do you go camping? Well whether or not you do, I found this on REI's website this week. It's a fun little quiz to see what camp type you are. I realize it's for marketing purposes, and your results direct you to specific types of gear that you are encouraged to purchase, but whatever. It's …

I'm getting ready for my next run in SF. But today I don't want to talk about the actual run. I want to talk about the gear I'll be using: my Vibram 5 fingers. After I ran the Ragnar in Vegas, my friend Jen convinced me to try them out. I was a tad bit …

In a few weeks I return to Japan for the 4th time in 4 years. Our church is continuing our support of SOLA in Ishinomaki, Japan. SOLA is a non-profit working with children in the Tohoku region that was devastated by the earthquake/tsunami combo on March 11, 2011. Last year, my family took a family …
For Christmas I like to make gifts for friends if I can. It lets me get creative and it adds a bit of a personal touch to Christmas presents. Last year I attempted homemade sparkling cider (some turned out well but others fermented a bit too much), so this year my wife and I aimed …
