Last night, I hit a bit of a milestone with my Orangetheory workouts. I broke the 200k calories burned mark for all time. I’ve been going to Orangetheory for over two years now to augment my running. I have found it to be a great way to get my core strengthening and speed training done.Continue reading “200, 000 Orangetheory calories burned”

Marshmallow Fondant Is A Thing
We recently celebrated one of my kid’s birthdays and I decided to try to up my baking game. I discovered that you can easily make fondant out of marshmallows which is pretty mind blowing for me. Fondant has always been one of those things that I’ve steered away from since you could only buy smallContinue reading “Marshmallow Fondant Is A Thing”
Nocking Point's Origins Pinot Noir
Well, I have had a chance to try out that collab red wine that Jason Momoa put out with Nocking Point, Dirtbag, and it is fantastic. I am not sure what I was expecting from a red wine by Aquaman but it certainly was a very happy surprise for me. So much so, I’ve alreadyContinue reading “Nocking Point's Origins Pinot Noir”
Applying Mixpanel to Shopify Stores
Mixpanel is probably my favorite off the shelf analytics platform. More precisely, it is a behavioral analytics platform which means it can help you understand how your users are behaving when they are using your Website or mobile app. With very little effort you can understand how users progress through funnels that you define; whatContinue reading “Applying Mixpanel to Shopify Stores”
Nocking Point Coffee Club January Shipment

Noom friendly microwave cake
I have to say that this microwave cake is by far my favorite of my recent cooking discoveries. It is simple and fast to cook. It is easy to involve the kids at every stage from mashing up the bananas to stirring the bowl to pushing buttons on the microwave. It is super tasty andContinue reading “Noom friendly microwave cake”
New 1 mile personal best – 5:48
Today Orangetheory had a 1 mile benchmark and I was able to hit a brand new personal best, 5 minutes and 48 seconds. While I know it is on a treadmill and running outside is slower, I am still really happy about it. When I joined Orangetheory two years ago, I clocked in at 6:27Continue reading “New 1 mile personal best – 5:48”
Noom friendly easy strawberry rhubarb pie filling
Over the holidays I was introduced to the miracle that is the no bake pie. Honestly, I knew about them but I never really gave them the time of day. I grew up where pies were something that you put in the oven, applied lots of heat, and needed an oven mitt to get backContinue reading “Noom friendly easy strawberry rhubarb pie filling”
os.detected maven properties not detected by eclipse
I recently hit this weird error with one of my Java projects using maven. It would build perfectly fine from command line but fail in eclipse. It was due to eclipse not being able to recognize this property, os.detected.classifier, that we had added to one of our pom files. This property is handled by theContinue reading “os.detected maven properties not detected by eclipse”
