Welcome: All the New People

Since the redesign I have seen a big influx of traffic, so if you’re new, this is for you. Or a bit of review for everyone else.

The Business of Running

-Why you have set your own pace and stick to it. If you don’t, you let others define you and ultimately doom your chances of success.

On the Spartans and the Perfect Paper

I was hesitant to write this but then after I posted it, it went viral on three separate occasions and continues to be my most popular post ever. (It is doing really well on StumbleUpon–and for all of you that voted for it before, the URL has changed and it’d be great if you could vote again)

One last thing:

And even though the design is awesome, the site really is easier to read via RSS. If you subscribe you’ll get all the updates within minutes of them being posted–and you won’t have to deal with ads, or load times or partial feeds, or any of that other stuff. I suggest Google Reader. If you want to subscribe to my feed, click here. I’d appreciate it if you would.
