Intervals

From Central Massachusetts where the force of Hurricane Sandy is expected to hit us with 50 mph winds and, in total, up to 3 inches of rain: we’re ready. Although (from what I’ve read) I don’t expect Sandy to cause too much destruction for us; I do get the sense that it’s going to be bad. I hope my “gut feeling” is wrong. This is the first of a few updates I’ll publish through the day.

I have an interesting graph to share with you that describes my weekly mileage since the first of the year. The analysis is fascinating in that it clearly shows that I’ve been running into a proverbial SLUMP of DOOM! But in the last few weeks, I’m starting to run out of it.

I suppose one of the many reactions to losing my job could be to SCREAM and YELL and FIGHT and GET ANGRY…but I really have no one to be angry at! Besides…getting angry won’t make anything better. Don’t worry, be happy.

Today I’m talking about how Podcasting is NOTHING like radio, despite the confusion of the uniformed. Podcasting is a high definition version of a “chatroom”, where it doesn’t often “echo”.

My dulcet tones will be heard in your poor, undeserving heads this weekend on two podcast episodes: the first being THE WINE CHAT PODCAST and, if I can wrap things up in the next day or so: episode 297 of PHEDIPPIDATIONS. That’s two, Two, TWO hours of voices talking in your head!

Autumn is here in New England, bring on the Fall!

Today is a bit of a Meta-cast, where I’ll talk about my philosophy about creating content and my strategy for reaching my “new media goals”. Also, I’ll talk about how you can help me reach my goals.

I am a “Whovian”, a long time fan of the BBC television series “Doctor Who”. In today’s Intervals I’ll talk about the show and why I love it with both of my timey-wimey hearts.

I conducted an experiment last night to see if, by listening to a classic rock album by Pink Floyd titled “The Wall”, I could re-live the self contemplative state of mind that I experienced in my youth. What I found was that I’m not the young man I used to be: I’m much MUCH better than that.

I received my Fitbit Aria WiFi Scale today, and it’s wicked cool…and, there’s a new episode of The Wine Chat Podcast en route to your wine cellar this weekend. Cheers!

This weekend my wife and I visited the Finger Lakes wine region, and more importantly: attended a celebration of the love between two friends.

A technical glitch at Feedburner has forced me to do something I should have done years ago: GIVE UP ON FEEDBURNER! If you haven’t received episode 296 of Phedippidations on iTunes, you’ll need to unsubscribe and re-subscribe to Phedippidations.

A new episode of Phedippidations is coming out today, talking about 4 motivational gadgets that “might” inspire you to get more active. Run long and taper.

It’s funny how that old expression about “the light at the end of the tunnel” implies that we’ve been living in darkness; because that’s not always true.
