Yesterday I finally managed to take that hiking trip I’ve been meaning to for months. And it was fucking awesome! We went to something called Vodotocno jezero – a small mountain puddle really. But it was beautiful anyway. The trip started off with a long and bloody awesome drive. I like driving around tight gravel [...]
Barefoot running
Image via Wikipedia The story begins with a young boy who had a pair of shoes he loved very much. They were the bestest and most durablest pair of shoes he ever did own. And they were pretty too! My god, all the female shoes turned their heads as they walked by. The shoes were [...]
Today was the worst day I’ve ever had
Image by Still Burning via Flickr Ok so today has probably been one of the crappiest days in a very very long time. Nothing spectacular happened, just a bunch of small very very irritating and annoying things, just enough to ruin your mood for a whole week. Which is awesome since it’s Monday. Even better, [...]
The upcoming month right out from hell!

Last week I was doing a lot of freelancing as a teacher and instructor in the dark arts of programming. There was this kid who desperately wanted to get [...]

Tracking runs is fun! :D
Today I finally figured out how to get sportypal working. Tomorrow I’m testing the hypotesis to make sure it wasn’t a one-time fluke. The trick is to start it up when you’re home. Then after the warmup walk kill it and open it again. This time GPS connect is instant. But the true lesson for [...]
First hike of the season
For the past <all of my life> years I’ve been forced to go hiking now and anon by my nature nutter mum. Then last year I started contracting the bug and sort of wanted to go a few times. This year I totally want to go for a good hike at least once a month. [...]

Do you memento mori?
Today I read a nice post about the 6 myths that stand in your way. And there was one that stood out the most Myth: There is time Reality: You have less time now than you have ever had. You have less time now than you had an hour ago. You are nearer to your [...]
The sad state of BlackBerry apps
Image via CrunchBase This morning just as I was battling with the question of going for a morning run or not I came across this facebook status <a status I am currently unable to find> But anyway, it was of something called @runkeeper and a dude reported he just ran 0.00 kilometers. So why would [...]
