The Once and Future Way to Run – NYTimes.com
The Once and Future Way to Run – NYTimes.com – A long article from Christopher McDougall on barefoot running. I’m very interested in the “100-Up” exercise he mentions towards the end. If I’m going to train for another marathon, I need to do everything I can to remain injury free.

Walk the Line Sydney – AH HA! If you’re wondering why there are pink dots all up and down George Street in Sydney, I think this is why.

@AusVintageGrrl I don’t think pancakes are English. I never had them ever when I lived in England. You mean American style?
@AusVintageGrrl Oh. No idea then. I like mine the size of a dinner plate, thick and fluffy, with bacon and maple syrup on top!
@Kat13v Oh no! That sucks!
Biker boots making me feel like Vyvyan. Everything is BORING, and I have impulse to start kicking people.
Why are there giant pink dot stickers on the sidewalk along the west side of George St for, like, 10 blocks??
Curiouser and curiouser. The pink dots appear to end in some giant mass at the QVB. Bus turned before I could get a good look…
@thisismywww Hm. I noticed them from Chinatown heading into the CBD. They go all the way to Wynyard??
AHA! I think the pink dots in Sydney are related to this: http://t.co/ItmyTC7Y It’s a public art/game thing.
@thisismywww @sharre I tracked it down to this: http://t.co/ItmyTC7Y

@dancingman Hahaha, damn. Seemed too good a stat – guess it was! 🙂
@imdominating Real books cost too damn much here! I’m all about ebooks now, just because they’re cheaper.

Halloween Party Photos
Halloween Party Photos 2011
After taking 2010 off, we were back with a vengeance for Halloween 2011! This year was our eighth party, and it was bigger and better than ever. More than forty guests packed into our house to show off their costumes, sample our spooky food, and have some fun. Oh, and we made a Meat Head. It was CREEPY AS.As always, I’ve got photographs that attempt to document the insanity. (There are recipe links for the curious as well.) Our friends outdid themselves this year, and there were some seriously amazing costumes. Most of the photographs were taken by Jonathan Feldman and myself, with a few from Jamie Griego, David Edgar, and Jane Matlock as well. Thank you to the photographers, and to everybody who came along!
And if you have any photographs of guests that I don’t have, please let me know!
Update: Thanks David for the picture of Issy as Bellatrix!
