I am in the midst of doing Insanity right now. I did P90x last fall and loved it. Insanity seemed like the logical next step. Except for a short break to account for the craziness of SXSW last weekend, I’ve been working out six days a week for the past three weeks. The problem, though, […] Read more…

Hearty Polenta and Sausage
Over the past six months, I have really started getting into cooking and getting to know my kitchen.

Zite: Only the Good Stuff
It’s always been an incredibly difficult task to simplify my web life. Ideas, articles, blogs, tweets, and other information enter my mind at breakneck speed online, and it is hard to process all the information to get to what I really want: the cream of the crop, the really interesting articles that speak to my […] Read more…
