Fitness run was amazing.

Precor AMT 835

I haven't been to Gold's Gym since last week. I needed to go today. I have a type of machine that I really like to use when I am there. It is an AMT 835 made by Precor. It's hard to explain, because it is not your typical glider. This thing has zero impact and you choose what you want to do when  you are on it. Some gliders don't work for short people, some are not big enough for long legged people. This thing changes the stride based on what you do. You can run, walk, and stair step. The only thing it won't let you do, it seems, is go backwards. I have tried a couple of times. Each time it reset my workout so I had no clue how far I was going.

Well, today it seems that my stamina is getting a bit better. I hit 5.5 (miles?) in 65 minutes. That's a new distance record for me on this machine. I feel great. My legs didn't want to stop. Near the end I was sweating like crazy and I took serious consideration to going another 30 minutes. This is the kind of workout I need to keep doing the crazy shit I do on stage with Am.Psych. Last show, I had more energy at the end than I normally do and I attribute the changes in my workout ethic to it. If we start getting more shows, the old man can't buckle up and fall over on stage.

But, work in the morning calls and so does school later in the evening. Maybe I'll take my gym clothes with me and get 45-60 in tomorrow night as well and shoot for 6 miles.

Am.Psych Live at Club Anything

Here is the video for Am.Psych live at Club Anything this past Saturday.

The original plan was that my girlfriend was going to take video of just the songs I had solos in that night, but she ended up getting the whole show and it just might be the best video we have of us so far.

Special thanks to i:Scintilla and Dark Clan for playing that night as well. I know Tony and Amie will not forget it.

10,0000 page views.

Only 29 more to 10,000!

Sometime in the next 48 hours I will hit 10,000 page hits. It's a small milestone for something I never thought anyone would look at.

Thank you to everyone for following along, commenting, and watching the world through my eyes.

SEO - my new job (and other updates)

SEO Ninja

On Monday, I started my new position at work. Search Analyst. I've had a bunch of people ask me what I am going to be doing. The only answer I can give really is this. I will be optimizing our web sites so that when people search for them they are higher in the rankings than other similar pages from other websites.

This is new ground for our company. We have around 100 web sites for various things. My job, get people to our site, without cheating the system. It's Called SEO - Search Engine Optimization. That's what I'm going to be living for the foreseeable future. 

I loved managing the help desk that I created and molded in to what I thought our people needed from a customer service standpoint. But this, this is a challenge. One that I need to take on head strong. 

Most IT departments don't help the company they work for make money. They are usually a service. An expense. I plan on getting traffic driven to our company sites and watch our revenue grow.
