22nd Oct 2019
Registration for the 2020 Boston Marathon has closed and there is a brand new set of data ready for analysis. If you are one of the runners who was accepted, congratulations! Qualifying for Boston is not easy, and as we will see shortly, it shows no signs of getting easier.

The Social Media Mirage

from Carl Barenbrug RSS Feed [alt+shift+b] in life

1st Mar 2025
Once upon a time, the power of a strong social media following could make a career. It still can, of course, but to a much, much lesser extent. I won't bore you with a recycled narrative of the shitty algorithm effect, although relevant in this case. Suffice to say, a follow...

Dispatches from childhood

from The Map is Mostly Water [alt+shift+b] in life

23rd Feb 2023
Humility is the virtue of seeing each sunrise as truly new. Little children have no trouble with this perspective, they could not live any other way. Everything is visceral to them, and they carry this visceral interiority everywhere.

The Little Book Of Big Weight Loss : Book Notes

from The Tao Of Wealth [alt+shift+b] in life

12th Sep 2020
Big weight loss is mostly about the food. Exercise is important to a lesser extent. Do not eat sugar, especially fructose. Aim for less than 3 added teaspoons per day, which is equal to 12 grams ( 1 teaspoon = 4 grams). Remember there are many names for sugar, so watch out when...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
