This is my tumblelog. It's much more simplistic than a blog, it's just random snippets of things really. Some I've created, many I haven't.

I’m not sure if Wacom did this on purpose or not (they probably did), but that tag is a nifty holder for the stylus.

Deadlift - Deload my ass (that sounds awful)
My doctor called today, he’s pretty confident I have a pulled muscle somewhere in my upper back or neck area. So with that revelation, his prescription was to “suck it up” until it heals in 3 - 6 weeks (I’m on week 2). I’m still a little weary (and in pain), but wanted to lift a little heavier than the standard 5/3/1 deload, especially since I don’t follow the 5/3/1 deadlift anyway. I did the following with success:
Deadlift
- 135 x 5
- 185 x 5
- 225 x 5
- 255 x 1
- 300 x 1 (straps)
- 185 x 5
Hanging Leg Raises
- 10 x
- 10 x
- 10 x
I usually do 5 sets of “good mornings”, but in the interest of still taking it easy, I didn’t.
It all felt pretty good, except for my last set of leg raises. My form suffered a little and I could feel my neck tense as I lifted my legs towards the end. My PR for DL is still 315 and I pulled 300 today with ease, but I didn’t want to push it. Hopefully I’ll be 100% soon because you don’t join the 1000lb club by deloading.

OHP deload, second week in a row
Another deload day thanks to my neck injury. Today I’m doing 5/3/1 OHP with a 1RM calculation of 140lbs, which breaks down below. I’m also doing seated instead of standing as an added precaution until my doctor can figure out the core issue. I can work through the pain, but I just need to make sure I’m not making it worse first.
Prescribed
OHP:
- 5 × 55 [5]
- 5 × 65 [10]
- 5 × 80 [10,5,2.5]
- 10 × 65 [10]
- 10 × 65 [10]
- 10 × 65 [10]
- 10 × 65 [10]
- 10 × 65 [10]
Chin-ups:
- 10 ×
- 10 ×

Actual
OHP:
- 5 × 55 [5]
- 5 × 65 [10]
- 5 × 80 [10,5,2.5]
- 10 × 65 [10]
- 10 × 65 [10]
- 10 × 65 [10]
- 10 × 65 [10]
- 10 × 65 [10]
Pull-ups:
- 10 ×
- 10 ×
- 10 ×
10 ×10 ×
I had to call it quits early on the pull ups, caused more pain than I was comfortable with right now. I’m a little surprised as the pain was more in my upper back than my neck. This injury is still quite a mystery

Using Vim as a Complete Ruby on Rails IDE »
I’ve switched over to using MacVIM about 6 months ago and I’m loving it. The only thing I miss from TextMate is the shortcut to create an HTML tag, then type what that tag is. I’m probably switching to HAML soon so that point might be moot.

Looks like these startups went no where
I posted this on twitter a few minutes ago:
I decided to just pick a page pretty far back and check up on how the startups listed on that page are doing. Did they launch? Are they charging money? I went with http://betali.st/page/200. The listings posted where from about 11 months ago. I’ll go ahead and assume the startup has existed for a year.
So here are the results:
- http://trackages.com/. Site times out, cannot be reached
- http://www.nextstyler.com/. Launched, but in beta
- http://www.carshrine.com/. Looks like a parked domain
- http://reward.io/. Domain wouldn’t resolve
It looks like 75% of those sites are defunct. One of them actually launched, and looks like they’re doing well, but is still in beta.
This is either good new or bad news depending on who you are.
