About three to four days a week I enjoy going for a run to stay in shape.
Ok, I’m lying about the “enjoying” it part, but it is necessary to stay somewhat fit.
Every time I go for a run I end up in some form of auto-pilot.
My mind will turn off while listening to music or a podcast and I’ll run at an average steady pace.
Not thinking about how fast I’m going, nor do I really care, I just run.
I’m not motivated to run as fast as I can, but motivated enough to jog faster than a speed walk (for those running gurus out there my pace is between 8.30-9.00 minute miles), I end up running about 3 miles every time.
It ends up being a solid and adequate workout in the sense that I feel like something has been accomplished and I can reward myself accordingly.
Every run is almost identical, with no major changes, surges in pace, always lacking anything exciting…until last week. [click to continue…]
In the simplest terms, djWHEAT is like the Julie Chen of eSports (competitive video gaming). He announces a lot of major gaming events and is an avid gamer himself.
I met Marcus last October through a random chance tweet, and we’ve connected ever since (you can read about how we connected here).
Last week we dual-streamed Starcraft 2 on Twitch.TV (dual broad-casted).
Being a complete newbie in Starcraft 2 and djWHEAT being an expert, it made for an interesting stream.
You can check out the highlights here:

A big thank you to djWHEAT for showing me the StarCraft 2 ropes!

Growing up with an original NES and an Atari ST I’ve always loved video and computer games. There were times growing up when I’d get to stay up late as a kid playing games with my Dad, and then after having to go to bed, I would sneak out to see my Dad still playing [...]
This week’s gaming video is centered around the game “The Binding of Isaac.” At first glance its a very twisted game, but it plays a lot like the old school NES classic Zelda. The game is very difficult and is different every time you play it, which is why I have logged so many hours [...]
What a crazy and memorable first season of Big Brother Canada! I wanted to answer the most talked-about/controversial issues from the Finale and also share with you the live-streams I already recorded regarding my final thoughts. Walking away from the Finale three things really stood out to me…. #1 – Jill “Deserved” the Win? Any [...]
Trying something new here… Last week I sent out a tweet about creating a new video segment called Asked Dan. You tweeted me your questions with the hashtag #AskDG and I told you I’d answer them on video! Here are the answers to some of your Twitter questions: If you enjoyed this video segment, and [...]
For those of you who haven’t been tuned into Twitch.TV you’ve missed some Live Commentary I’ve been doing while the Big Brother Canada episodes have been airing. Confused? Basically, while a new episode of Big Brother Canada airs, I live stream commentary on your “2nd screen.” (Either a Laptop or iPad/Tablet). It’s basically a cool [...]
After leaving my 24 hour stay in the Big Brother Canada house, one of the most frequently asked questions I received via Twitter was: “What are your impressions of the Houseguests?” Since the episode has aired, I can now share with you my impressions of each Houseguest. Spending 24 hours in person with each of [...]
A few weeks ago I went out on a limb and tested a new idea where I took your questions and answered them on video…GROUNDBREAKING idea, I know.
