My Jeep broke down last weekend and all week I’ve been busy spending time working on it, so I’m surprised I managed to get any reading done this week, but I think what I’ve got in this week’s update is really good. I plan to get my Jeep back up and running this weekend, hopefully before the Denver Broncos game tomorrow, so that next week I can spend more time reading. Have a great weekend and go Broncos!


Smart Drugs? REMEMBER MORE – THINK FASTER – BE WISER

This article discusses the effects of smart drugs, the types of smart drugs available, how they act on our minds, the evidence of their benefits and moral questions someone may have when taking them.

Experimenting with the Paleo Diet for Vegetarians

I’ve looked into this a lot myself, and like the author of this post, I didn’t find much information online. As a vegan, it’s extremely difficult to go paleo because the paleo diet restricts a lot of what we eat. It’s not impossible though. Look at raw food vegans. I think that’s probably about as close to paleo as we can get.

What makes this even better is that they have 250+ structured workouts and they also sync up with videos like the The Sufferfest. I want this!


ICM – Indoor Cycling Music

Now that it’s too cold to ride outside, I’ve been paying more attention to indoor cycling stuff and this one was mentioned during a cycling podcast I listen to. It seems like a pretty cool service and it’s cheap at $4.99 per month. I listed to the 30 min. sample on the site and while I found some of it a little cheesy, I was bobbing my head and tapping my feet most of the time. I like it. They have 30, 60 and 90 minute mixes.
