Vibram FiveFingers Unboxing and Review

Lee — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 01:23:51 +0000

I’ve been training on and off for about four months and like other runners, I’ve been reading up on running barefoot. I’ve had really bad ankle injuries from playing soccer, and was advised by my doctor after suffering ankle pain and bruising to perhaps consider another hobby other than running. Not one to be put off, I figured I would give it one last go and see if running barefoot would help.

I recently ordered a pair of Vibram 5Fingers KSO Trek shoes and received them in the mail today. Here is me unboxing and testing out my new running shoes.

Thank a World War 2 Veteran

Only 10% of World War 2 veterans who survived the war are alive today.

If you know a World War 2 soldier, thank them. The freedom and liberty we enjoy today is due to their sacrifice. We are forever in their debt.

My Sleeping In Is Vindicated!

internetmonkeh — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 23:04:04 +0000

I’ve always known that sleeping in was beneficial – always, and I’ve never been an early riser. I’m just not wired that way. But now I have proof!

A recent study found that night owls have more mental stamina than their early-to-rise counterparts.

The study found that those who woke up early were less likely to be able to focus after 10 hours of being awake. Finally, I’ve been vindicated.

Time to go set the alarm – 10:30am ought to do it.

Best. Title. Ever.

Monkeh Wins the Nobel Peace Price

I dedicate this award to taking naps, eating bananas, and drinking Newcastle Brown Ale.

Video of Anne Frank Published

Lee — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 01:57:58 +0000

The only video images of Anne Frank in existence have been put on display at YouTube. The video is of the Frank’s neighbours who are getting married.

I studied World War 2 in school – to say that this video is unique is an understatement. We are now getting to the time where those who lived during the World War 2 era are dying and can no longer tell their story. Hopefully the young generation of today will be able to learn from this video.

The brave little girl, who’s family defied the Nazis until they were betrayed lives on far longer than she ever would have hoped.

Book’s I’m Reading

internetmonkeh — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 02:23:22 +0000

On a recent trip to the doctor’s office, I was told to read more to help myself relax. So, to Amazon I went and ordered a few books.

They are:

The Art of War by Sun Tzu
Here Comes Everybody by Clay Shirky
Trust Agents by Chris Brogan (and Julien Smith)

I’m currently reading:

Piercing the Reich: The Penetration of Nazi Germany by American Secret Agents During World War II by Joseph Persico
Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell

Getting Old(er)

internetmonkeh — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 16:28:09 +0000

In honor of my entering a new decade in my life, there are certain things that you can do in your thirties, that you can’t do in your twenties:

Take naps and not feel guilty: I don’t know what I would do without my naps, they help me function.
Get aches and pains without wondering why: In your twenties you should be feeling pretty good – your muscles and body functionality should be pretty decent. In your thirties you can complain about all the minor body nuances and put it down to getting old.
Sleep in and be proud of it: One of my favourite things to do on a weekend is to sleep in. Hey, all of you early risers, more power to you. I’ll take my extra sleeping time thanks.
Not giving a crap: You’ve put up with rubbish your entire life. Now is the time to say “No more! I’m old and don’t care what people think!”
Being forgetful: Not being able to remember names or details can be pretty frustrating. But when you’re in your thirties you have an excuse – getting old.

Here’s a picture of some donuts to cheer up all of the ‘old’ people reading this.
