On that Carter Letter:
Hello visitors from Waxy, Kottke, StumbleUpon, Instapundit, Lucianne, and The National Review. I closed comments in the other post due to hosers with keyboards, but to answer a couple of questions:
1. Yes, it is genuine.
2. No, it is not mine
3. Yes, I took the photo.
4. No, I do not know any more about the incident.
On PayPerPost
I've gotten some private feedback on my PayPerPost blogging, and I want to address that. While I'm not sure how long I'm going to keep it up, I am going to give it a shot for a while and see how it works out. Yes, they are sponsored posts, which means that they are written for a fee. However, I'm trying to only write about topics that I find interesting, and at the very least I hope to make them just as entertaining and/or informative as anything else you might read here.
On Why My Nike Plus Isn't Updating
No, I have not quit running. I logged five miles this morning, in fact. But I haven't been running with my Nike Plus sports kit lately because, well, I just haven't felt like it. In September, I was testing several HRMs that tracked speed and distance, and filling out spreadsheets and logbooks every day. Prior to that, it was my triathlon season, and I spent seven months training and tracking my progress. It's been nice to just go out and run, for a change, purely for the enjoyment of it. I'll likely start updating again this month. Next year, I plan on doing Wildflower Olympic distance, Alcatraz, Vineman 70.3, and Sandman, plus maybe another sprint or two. There will be plenty more to come.
