Insanity | Kick-Off Week 1
Cardio Power & Resistance
Nutrition/Eating Log


45 minutes of Insanity = good for the soul. A little less insane than yesterday, perhaps because this little gem focuses more on the upper body and hamstrings, two of the areas P90X build up in a big way. Still finished with a solid sweat and a little left in the tank at the end -- all good.

Insanity? Yea, you're insane. In a good way. I'll keep pushing play.

Had to repost this excellent entry from Seth Godin -- it embodies what my career has been focused on since 1993.

That is, teaching people to use technology to better education. Simple as that. Less anger/reaction, more proactive work everyday to slowly move the needle in the right direction.

Whether that's getting the first teachers online through countless Classroom Connect newsletters, curriculum integration videos, and 14+ books under the CC name, or helping schools make great use of their online research sources at ProQuest.

More words from the master insighter:

Taking the time to teach

What we do in the long run, over time, drip by drip, affects the market so much more than an angry reaction or urgent event.

Smoking a pack a day for twenty years is a great way to be sure you'll die early. Far more likely, in fact, than getting hit by a car. And yet it's so easy to talk to our kids about cars...

Delivering out of the box remarkability day after day counts for far more than one hit or one misstep. When we teach people about our story or our industry our about making connections, the teaching lasts.

Teaching people not only impacts the market, it changes the world. Teaching about connection and community and science, a little bit at a time, can heal our world in the long run. It doesn't happen as fast as we might like, but it works. Emergencies fade, and in the long run our teaching lasts.

The challenge is in responding with education, not reacting with anger.




9/11 -- Never forget.
