Turns out getting started is a bit more complicated than it should be. Getting started, I figured my options (in order of best to worst) were thus: Find some way of setting up a localContinue reading “Setting up a Development Environment for Shopify Themes”

False Maximums: Catching Yourself Up with Short Horizons
I love a good diagram. A good diagram has the ability to take what looks like chaos and turn it into beautiful, understandable ink on paper. That said, it always pays to examine what’s not being show along with what is. Check out this one for example: This simple graph explains a huge number ofContinue reading “False Maximums: Catching Yourself Up with Short Horizons”

Three Powerlifting Cues I Use for Tangoing
Three Lifting Cues I Use for Tango I started dancing tango about 7 months ago. I had done a bit in college, something like 5 years ago, but not enough to really count.

Stop Misusing Your Imagination and Free Yourself

It Takes Two to Benefit Cortisol and Testosterone levels
I’ve recently taken up learning tango dancing as a new hobby. I’ve been doing it for several months now and have to say that it’s quite enjoyable. I mentioned to someone in conversation how when I dance, I feel very elated afterwards, and they remarked that there’s probably quite the testosterone response from tangoing.

A Swift Kick in the Joulies
Edit: As noted in the comments, I’m testing these under a situation which is not the recommended method from the Joulies company.
