The Aristocracy of Cardio

At some point I suppose I'll have to actually separate ass from chair and get some exercise (not to mention some fresh air). Men's Health adds one more incentive:

Focus. It's a word that comes up frequently when you speak with cardio fanatics. It makes sense, given what scientists have already established about the effects of aerobic workouts on mental performance. But focus is really more descriptive of mental state. And in that capacity, cardio appears therapeutic. "Aerobic exercise seems to have a focusing effect similar to that of attention-deficit-disorder medications," says Alex Giorgio, a psychotherapist and founder of a personal consulting group.

Creating Passionate Users: The myth of "keeping up":

In the meantime, take a deep breath and repeat after me, "I will never keep up. Keeping up is a myth." And if it makes you feel any better, add, "John isn't keeping up either."

I will never keep up. Keeping up is a myth.

I will never keep up. Keeping up is a myth.

The Great Awakening

Terry Heaton, after burying his wife, writes:

People I didn't know (I'm apparently a member of many other tribes) shared their thoughts, poems, condolences and experiences, and that was enormously helpful to one so adrift in fear and the unknown. This is profound in its implications for the future of humankind, and I hope you all can see that. We are not alone. None of us. We need each other, and we have the shared knowledge and capacity for compassion that will save the world. I mean that with all my heart. Our institutions have failed, but we will not.

I believe this more every day. Something is happening. We're waking up.

YouTube gathers steam

Dan Frommer writes in Forbes:

The Web lets users watch whatever they want, whenever they want to watch it. So what do they want to see? A home-made video of two boys lip-synching along to the Pokémon television theme song. Internet video site YouTube has streamed the video more than 9.5 million times in the last four months, making it the site's most-watched movie.

Michael Arrington reports a rumored round of $25 million in financing for YouTube.
