so obviously posting a daily update on running didn’t work out. i ran a 50-miler recently and at some point i’ll write up a race report.

for now here are some things i found or were sent to me this week or that i’ve been enjoying this week:

  1. bill murray’s face in famous paintings
  2. velocipedia – realistic renderings of human attempts at drawing a bicycle
  3. python tutorials
  4. haruki murakami: “maybe working on the little things as dutifully and honestly as we can is how we stay sane when the world is falling apart.”
  5. best method for making bacon
  6. in praise of the awkward silence
  7. what my running coach (sarah keyes) was up to last month
  8. polyphia – mostly instrumental, kinda prog rock – i’ve been playing this a lot in the background while i work
