Pardon the alliteration…I couldn’t resist it!
My Sugoi Piston Compression shorts…I don’t leave home without them
Santa Monica Mountains…my backyard playground
You guys…I am a bit behind but you really are!

So what the heck is this Intense Debate comments thing?
The problem is I am, for reasons unknown to me, plagued with Russian and other Eastern European comments on various body part enlargements, free software, pictures of celebrities and so on, dozens a day!
My comments have always been monitored but I have never censored them; good bad and ugly I have published them. That being said life is too short to monitor them so I have decided to change things and rather than turn them off completely I borrowed an idea I saw on Frayed Laces called Intense Debate, it allows me to easily respond to individual comments either in the comment section or via email and it also allows you to respond to other comments.
Comments can be threaded so you can carry on your own mini conversations about topics within the comment section and you can subscribe to email alerts if someone directly replies to your comment. If you're on Twitter, you can also choose an option to simultaneously send a tweet when you comment on a post.
The main difference is that you need to login. You can either sign in as a guest, create an intense debate profile, or use your Open ID account. I created a Intense Debate profile and stay logged in and it works seamlessly, you even get a reputation score which increase the more you use it…know any Type A competitor types? If you already use Google or Blogger, you have an Open ID account. Click here for info on how to use it.
I think it’s a change for the better but I am always open to feedback so leave me a comment. Love it? Hate it? Let me know! Oh and if you suffer from the Russian Spamia you might want to check it out too!
Tuneful Tuesday…
I like to run with an iPod, 99% of photos you’ll see of me running (or riding) will have me jacked in. I mix it up some and it a variation of podcasts, talking books and music. I used to be somewhat of a musciphile, I still have a CD collection back in the UK of somewhere north of a 1000 discs as well as a few boxes of vinyl, and as I look at my Mac I have another 25GBs on there. I am not sure what it’s indicative of that most of my my more recent music purchases have come from either (a) soundtracks to movies, (b) commercials on TV or (c) So You Think You Can Dance! Let’s just say commercial radio just isn’t what it used to be.
So here are a few more recent purchases that getting me moving:
SYTYCD
Movie; Knight & Day
TV Drama; Covert Affairs
TV Commercial: Apple iPod
This is one you have seen before, it’s from a Sufferfest video but it’s a kick ass tune! Adrenaline by Phantom Black
Kicking it old school back to my teens!
All of the above you can get through iTunes except Phantom Black which you can buy online here. If you’re looking for something free and have a penchant for tearing up Dancefloor, these next two I highly recommend also.
Above & Beyond, Trance Around the World and HousenationUK both have excellent free podcasts which you can subscribe to and download through iTunes.
What’s playing in your head?
