I hope at least a few. http://brockjones.com/wordpress/?p=24 Let's kick off the discussion with the following premises: God Exists God is the greatest good. Anything is better when wrapped in bacon. We're just going to assume that all three of these are true. I'd argue that the only premise that we have good evidence to support is #3.  Do you know of ... http://brockjones.com/wordpress/?p=21 I got bored of looking at my monitor doing all the same old boring stuff, so I decided to break out Visual Studio and recreate one of my favorite screensavers from the old days. It's been a while since I've done any coding, and I've never really done much ... http://brockjones.com/wordpress/?p=18 Why do I always look like an idiot in pictures? I suppose I could develop some theory involving facial reflexes, JPEG compression and optics. Unfortunately, I think Occam might have something to say about such a theory. In any event, the photo there is from the CrossFit Championships held ... http://brockjones.com/wordpress/?p=17 Ok -- so it's my birthday and I've decided to make it easy on the world. No guessing what I want this year because I'm just going to tell you all. I want an electric car. I'm tired of spending $60/week on gas. All I want ... http://brockjones.com/wordpress/?p=16 Last night at the gym was "Karen." As workouts go, Karen is frighteningly simple to describe.

While ... http://brockjones.com/wordpress/?p=15 I'm drained... I'm tempted to say that they've been "putting the wood" to us at the gym, but the tone of this post is intended to be upbeat and celebratory and the combination of the two might skew slightly homoerotic. So instead, I'll just say that this week ... http://brockjones.com/wordpress/?p=14 It's been about 8 months (and 35 pounds) since I started working out at CrossFit Eastside in Redmond. I've managed to become completely addicted to it. When I started I would go three times a week for the (typically more laid back) morning classes. Now I'm there ... http://brockjones.com/wordpress/?p=13 So Kochun and I brewed up a Belgian trippel yesterday and tossed it on top of the yeast cake from the Belgian singel that had just gone into secondary. The trippel itself was based on the recipe for "Third Nipple Trippel" from the Randy Mosher's book Radical Brewing, but ... http://brockjones.com/wordpress/?p=12 I finally got to participate in a CrossFit Total. The folks at CrossFit Seattle took on the task of managing the event while the CrossFit Eastside crew took on the task of populating it. It was a great time all around. Lots of inspirational lifts and more ... http://brockjones.com/wordpress/?p=10
