I rarely use the TriggerPoint Nano Foot Roller to massage my feet. I use it almost exclusively to roll out my chronically tight piriformis and glutes. It’s the perfect width to hit both piriformi at once, or I can shift my weight a little bit to reeeally dig into one side. I sit down on it like it’s a foam …
Google Earth Pro
If you’re a race director and don’t already use Google Earth Pro to map out your courses and venues, you should. Google Earth Pro is an amazingly powerful, free piece of software from Google. It’s essentially an über souped up version of Google Maps, but that’s not even a fair description. In Google Earth Pro you can view all satellite …
Technology Must-Haves: Part 2
Recently I wrote about one of my favorite bits of technology that I use just about all day, every day. Well, here’s my second must-have bit of technology. Hint: It’s unlikely that any modern parent will name their kid this… Yep: Alexa. Loads of people have an Echo device, which have Alexa on them. 100 million according to the folks …

Snoo: part 2
About a week ago I wrote a quick post about the Snoo, and the high hopes I had for it. This is just a quick post to say that we’re glad we chose the rental option over purchasing. The quick version of the story is that our daughter never really warmed up to the Snoo that well, and there were …
Everyday Carry: Gerber Paraframe Mini Knife
I’ve never really been one to carry a pocket knife around. That is until my wife got me a mini Swiss Army knife for Christmas this past year. it was one of those really tiny ones, and if fit perfectly in the little coin pocket in the front of a pair of pants. I liked the little knife, and the …
Snoo
Have you ever heard of this thing? The Snoo is a rather expensive bassinet that rocks your baby and plays white noise when she starts to cry or get fussy. It seemed like a silly idea to me, until our second child came along, and decided that sleep was an activity she didn’t want to partake in. Our first child …
Apple Airpods
One of the best technology/gadget purchases (OK, they were a gift) I’ve made in the last several years is easily my set of Apple AirPods. I did a quick review of them and you can see all the pros and cons in this short video here: Featured Photo by Barrett Ward on Unsplash
Microsoft Surface Go
A few months ago my 12.9″ iPad Pro Smart Keyboard stopped working. Yeah, the one that costs $169. It was a few years old, but I had taken very good care of it. I did a thorough online search to see what the problem might be, and how I could fix it, but unfortunately came up empty handed. I was …
