AppSumo

Yes, you read that right – AppSumo. Sound it out and you got it. If you are still having a problem, think app as in application, like software and sumo as the big Japanese wrestler type. Now you got the name down, but are still wondering what the heck it is right? Think of it kind of like a Groupon or Daily Deals kind of site for geeks. Actually, take it on step further. Not just geeks, but specifically those of geeks that tend to support computer networks and server or even better develop/write code for them.

Raffles, Left-Hand Turns, & Traffic Blockers

Not sure of the exact nature of it, but I have been extremely irritable the last couple of days. I do not really think it is me so much as it is the environment in which I find myself. I thought it worthy of sharing with you all and seeing if it was just me and some needless irrational aggravation on my part or if there really is some justification for my being so easily angered about these minor situations? So, here we go with raffle & giveaways, left-hand turners at stop signs into major traffic, and the truck and trailer who thinks parking in the street at rush hour is their right.

Tamcor Fitness Center – Thumbs Down

Tamcor Fitness Center, located not far from where I live here in Jessamine county is getting both of my thumbs down on their way of doing business today. I really hate that too, as it was a nice little gym that is really close to the house and I was planning on using them again this winter if they had a similar offering on a month to month basis as they did late last fall. As of today though I will not however set foot back in there in this lifetime as a paying customer, primarily because of really poor customer service but also just general business practices that I think are in the best light shady.

Plantar Fasciitis & Flat Shoes

I have recently discovered something that seems to run counter to what I have been told by most, including a couple of doctors in regards to the subject. This goes back to early summer or late spring, when I picked up a pair of really cheap very flat shoes that are specifically made for boating and other water fun. After having worn them for a day on the water I thought about how comfortable and have worn them (or similar) most of the summer. The amazing thing, my plantar fasciitis seems to have remained mostly in check despite the thought that such shoes would cause it to flare up out of control almost immediately.

Bourbon, Blues, & Horses

Bourbon, blues – bet you were thinking I was going to say something about New Orleans? Nah, I got the blues tonight and in what is, I am sure, a spiral deeper into such things, I have compounded the matter with a bit of bourbon. Well, okay, a bit is probably in most folks accounting of such things an understatement. So what does any of this have to do with horses? Well, that is what this entry is about and relates to so many things included medieval reenacting and jousting, clearly the horses, and coping with having MS in my life, so read onward…
