Today’s brain dump
How to build a scalable website with only one developer, how to stay simple, how to delve into a single thing and find the layers of complexity and richness within it, rather than go shallow and wide, how to be easy on myself, how to sell a condo during the economic slump and the holiday season, how to find a bigger, better, cheaper house, how to lose 10 pounds, how to play the guitar, how to stay focused, how to stay warm in a cold office, how to keep people’s interest in an iPhone app over time, how to survive winter, how to spend less money each month, how to find my running shoes, how to get another photobooth working for a friend’s wedding, how to get my stuff done, how to do my best stuff, how to course correct, how to not feel so much pressure to get things done that I can’t get anything done, how not to disappear, how to be a good parent, how to be a good husband, how to stop biting my fingers, how to relax, how to be a good friend, how to have fun, how to pay back all this debt, how to start a company, how to balance things.

i clicked thru to your blog from kk.org. cool stuff here. i started reading old entries, too, which is how i ended up here. as a crazy obsessed runner, i thought i’d weigh in with an answer for how to find your running shoes…you gotta go to a tried-and-true running specialty store, the kind where they videotape you running, play it back for you in slo-mo, and help you find the right shoe for your stride. road runner sports in seattle is a good one! that, or (if you have a neutral, normalish foot) get these. it’s a legit running shoe (lots of pro runners train in the pegasus), but this version is made up to look just like the original one from 1983. judging from the vid you posted with your training group (hee hee!), seems like it could be up your alley. http://tinyurl.com/yawdb4r
