Loading ...My First Kettlebell

No patience for the long drives to the overcrowded and expensive gym? This simple kettlebell will make you dangerously strong and ripped FAST!
…for only $51 on Craig’s List!
I picked up a 16kg/35lb kettlebell off Craig’s List tonight. Actually it was more of a heave than a pick. All in preparation for the 300 workout that I start tomorrow. I can tell that it will be tough! Not like “It’s too hard, I can’t do it” tough. It’s more like saying-no-to-a-free-lap-dance tough.
a) Pullups - 25 reps
b) Deadlifts with 135lbs - 50 reps
c) Pushups - 50 reps
d) 24-inch Box jumps - 50 reps
e) Floor wipers - 50 reps
f) Single-arm Clean-and-Press with 36lbs Kettlebell - 50 reps
g) Pullups - 25 reps
See what I’m sayin?!
I don’t expect to make the full 300 tomorrow. But I’ll get there fast. Count it. 1…2…3…

If you want to learn how to be a master composer, then you’ll probably want to check this out.

Learn how to…
- Compose an infinite number of melodies

The entire telesminar series will be accessible by phone each week as well as made available for download.
- If you’re a complete beginner, this course might not be for you. But if you want to see what’s in store for you as you continue along your musical path, you might still be interested in attending.
- If you’re an intermediate musician, then this course will help you create expert compositions. Even if you only know a small amount of music theory, you will benefit from this course.
- If you’re already an expert, this 16 week telesminar series will be the perfect opportunity for you to improve your knowledge of composition and ask questions so you can move beyond any current sticking points.
The best part of this course is the price…
Since Rob Fulton is a partner of mine, he’s agreed to let me offer you the complete composition teleseminar series at a steep discount…
This could easily go for $300 or more. But Rob has graciously offered it to my subscribers for the low, low price of…
…Only $97!
We can only let 50 people attend because we want to keep the attendance small so everyone can get their questions answered. This means you need to hurry and sign up right away.
As I said, all calls will be available for download in case you have to miss a call.
Class begins Monday, August 27. I hope to see you there!

August 26, 2007

I was pretty excited about getting my new BBP bag on Friday. Especially considering I couldn’t take my MacBook Pro anywhere without subjecting it to the dangers of unprotected travel. All in all, I’m pleased. But there’s one major flaw in the design.
The snug laptop compartment is closed by a zipper which rubs against the Mac every time I put it in or pull it out. It’s a dull rubber zipper, but I’m still concerned that it will gradually wear on the laptop casing. I’ll probably end up getting a sheath or something similar.
The best part of BBP’s bag design is the ergonomics. In backpack mode, it sits much lower on the back which reduces back strain. Walking 25 minutes to Harvard with a messenger bag is a painful process so my back is very thankful.
I don’t feel nearly as fond of this bag as I did my Timbuktu, but maybe time will change that. My Timbuktu was a slick and stylish messenger bag and at least it didn’t threaten to scratch my laptop. If they had some more ergonomic models, I would have gone with them.
It’s give and take.
The late rebellion in Massachusetts has given more alarm than I think it should have done. Calculate that one rebellion in 13 states in the course of 11 years, is but one for each state in a century and a half. No country should be so long without one.
