develop using rspec
Learning RSpec 2 years ago

I was really impressed by RSpec when I first encountered it in it’s infancy. Dave Astels gave a presentation at Canada On Rails last year but the API was changing so much that I decided to wait til 1.0.

Now I’ve just finished up the first Peepcode screencast and am really jazzed to dig deeper and use it on my next Rails project.



work out every other day
Getting there 2 years ago

I’ve been doing the workouts from the book “The Abs Diet.” But I’m still having trouble getting a workout in every other day and if I miss one I lose too much momentum.



run 24 miles a week
24 miles a week 2 years ago

Been running 6 miles every other day. I’m slow as hell, 10-12 min miles, but given the flat feet, extra weight, and high school and college sports injuries to my hamstring and knees, I’m just happy that everything stays together (knock wood).
