I love Tabata! I usually use the "Tabata This" workout from Crossfit (one of the few workouts I use from that methodology). I break it up like this: Squats, Pushups, Pullups, Jump rope, situps. So the total routine is about 20

That book was responsible for me finally achieving my 400 lb deadlift. Great book.

Indeed. I completely understand feeling like there isn't enough time to do it. Other than my 8-10 hour days at work, I have a teenage daughter, a wife and two dogs I have to attend to. I practice guitar daily, practice martial arts we

It's proof that it worked for me. Somebody of average genetics and physique that had a lot of the same problems that others complain about and in turn try standing desks. Sometimes it's best to just give it a shot and see how it w

If using a standing desk sounds like a good idea to you and you have the means to afford one or build one, it couldn't hurt to do both. My argument was that I did not feel like it was necessary considering my progress with sitting and

That's certainly possible. There is no way to tell other than to give it a shot for yourself. However, I will mention, I'm not blessed with great genetics by any means. I would say I am an average/below average individual wh

It doesn't. :) I use none. I workout in my garage with a pull-up bar, a heavy bag and a barbell.

I do this as well. I guess I should elaborate on my 8-12 hour days. It's rare now that I will sit in the chair for more than an hour at a time. Not only due to my awareness of the issues that it causes, but also because it just helps

I apologize, I skimmed through that article too quickly. Nevertheless, I will still hold my position that I was once "Fat", with high cholesterol and could barely hold my own body up. With what I have stated in my post, I am now

I had a physical by my doctor about 3 months ago, as stated in my writing. So, yes... "I'm healthy" was declared by tests from a doctor.

The problem is that there is no evidence that suggest standing in front of a computer screen helps at all in those situations as well. You're still stationary. You aren't moving. Moving your feet around below you to adjust the we

Thanks for this. I'm not sure what has happened to my server all of the sudden, it has handled loads bigger than what I was getting from posting this article. However, it has literally taken a jump off of a cliff.

I wouldn't call what I did or even what I do as "extreme". Far from it. Taking steroids and growth hormone is extreme. Lifting weights and enjoying it to the point where you want to better yourself at it? I don't see it

Is it possible to get out of a contract with them over this without paying the ridiculous ETF? It states you can if they change you contract at all, and this constitutes a change to me, but does it with them?

Mike, what type of computer do you own? Does it use Intel hardware? Maybe it was created by Dell or Lenovo or somebody else? When someone asks you what type of computer you own do you say "It's an Intel/Dell" or "It's an Intel/Lenovo"? O

My car engine is a Volkswagen and the entire vehicle consists of parts made by various other companies, but do you see anyone going around saying "I have a Brembo/Volkswagen" just because Volkswagen used some Brembo parts to build the car?

I agree with you. However, just because something isn't implied, doesn't mean it's not a good idea to do it. Charity isn't implied, but it's obvious we should do it in order to help people in need. We all do open source because we simply l

Ah, Thank you! That definitely brings a lot more context into it and I can see how some may get offended by it. I still question whether this is offensive to myself. Compared to the ads I hear on the radio and TV for local clubs and bars a

I don't see why... I've been able to do almost any color scheme from textmate or other editors. I have my favorite color scheme from textmate in VIM (Sunburst). Just make sure you're either using gvim or your terminal has 256 colors turned

This is good advice. Whether you are standing or sitting, as long as you are sedentary, it doesn't make a difference. Both are bad. Sure, sitting can cause you to get varicose veins or carotid atherosclerosis, but standing in one spot all

Why not? Everyone has already diluted the meaning of the word "greed" successfully. Might as well start on "evil" now. :-) But in all fairness, non-poaching agreements are not right. What if every tech company did this? You better hope you

I agree. It seems exactly like CBT to me. I have a pretty bad anxiety and Obsessive disorder myself and have been in therapy and actively practicing CBT and this article kind of confused me because it seemed so similar.

Definitely... but I'm wondering about doing it anonymously. So basically find some way that people could donate to a specific person or business, then have that entity make money orders and send them off directly to wikileaks? I'm guessing
