Welcome to my slice of the web dedicated to the things I care about including simplicity, productivity, fitness, technology, and general life happenings.

Of the 5 main topics that I post about I can trace my initial interest or inspiration back to one person or thing.

• Simplicity - Linda Clark (Gifted a copy of Simplify Your Life, 100 ways to slow down and enjoy the things that really matter by Elaine St. James. This book gave me a whole new mindset about the world and my life, and has inspired me to read various other books on the same topic. )
• Productivity - David Allen (author of “Getting Things Done, the art of stress free productivity by David Allen“)
• Fitness - My mother (Award winning long distance runner and finisher of numerous marathons and other distance runs and relays)
• Technology - Apple Computers ( In 2001 I purchased a PowerMac G4 and enjoyed the computer so much it inspired me to learn more about technology and ultimately  seek a computer science degree)
• Life Theory - My father (Brilliant negotiator, communicator and general teacher of life theory)

I am just a guy trying desperately to manage the overhead of living. There are just too many inputs and things to do on a daily basis and it just makes my head spin. I want to live life and not handle all the crap that pretends to be life. I hate mail, bills, dept, calendars, appointments, chores, dishes, kitchens, cooking, basically anything that “needs” to be done. I want to create routines, practices and theories that cut down on the amount of time and brain power these pesky life tasks consume.

Things I enjoy doing:

• Running
  • I have ran 2 marathons, and am training for my third. I am training to complete a marathon in under 3hours and 10minutes to qualify for the Boston Marathon
  • Read about why I run
  • Check out all my fitness related posts
• Cycling
  • my first event was the Summit To Surf ride
• Snowboarding
• Web Design
