I like this life thing. Good luck TechStars Class of 2008! Feld.com Wednesday, August 20, 2008 Marathon #12 is on Saturday. I'll be running the Mesa Falls Marathon in Ashton, Idaho. 157 people ran it last year so it's a deliciously small one. I've been training with a new coach - Gary Ditsch - for the past six weeks with a goal of ultimately getting below 4 hours. My goal for Mesa Falls is sub-4:45 which given my training and how I feel should be achievable. If you recall from my last marathon (a mere two months ago in Duluth) I'm now running to raise money for the Accelerated Cure Project. My goal is to have raised $100,000 at the end of running 50 marathons ($2,000 / marathon); to date I've raised $2,375. As a result of my two anchor sponsors - Return Path and Pixie Mate - I've already got $1,250 in the bag as Return Path is contributing $1,000 and Pixie Mate is contributing $250. So - all I need from you dear readers is another $750 of contributions to make my goal for this marathon. Any amount will do. Thanks in advance for Matt Feld.com Wednesday, August 20, 2008 What Will Canada Do When the US Tells Us ''No''? It
is hard to imagine that the US doesn't have a plan to annex Canada. A
nation that has no hesitation in trumping up charges against a country
half a world away when it is perceived to threaten its energy security,
and then bombing the hell out of it, killing and injuring hundreds of
thousands of civilians and utterly destroying its infrastructure and
social fabric, would not think twice about seizing control of a nation
that offers it even more (and whose animosity would severely threaten
its national interest).There was a plan, in the years between
the two world wars, to do just that. It was declassified decades ago
and now makes rather quaint reading. But there is no question that
there is an American "contingency plan" to annex Canada if need be,
just as surely as there is one to bomb Iran as the next stage to secure
the oil on which the entire American economy utterly depends.There
are reasons to believe that the US doesn't expect it will have to do
this. More than half of all Ca How to Save the World Wednesday, August 20, 2008 Do Sprinters Cheat, or Is 100m Sprint Performance a Jump Function? Tonight I was re-watching Usain Bolt's recent world record 100m performance in the 2008 Olympics and it got me thinking about physiological limits and human performance trends. What are the limits to human performance, and are we approaching them asymptotically, or are there jump-shifts in the performance functions, one where new performance levels are reached, and then eventually breached, and so on? To get people thinking, here are two graphs. The first shows the progression of records in the Boston Marathon for men since 1927. Admittedly, there are a few issues with the data, not least of which is that the distance changed slightly over the period, but the main point is in what has happened over the last decade or so. Now let's turns to the world record progression in the men's 100m. Here, courtesy of Wikimedia, is a similar graph. What is interesting, at least to me, is that in the longer event, the Boston Marathon, there has been a clear plateauing. The record time hasn't InfectiousGreed Wednesday, August 20, 2008 Nutritionists are pissed because Michael Phelps is on the front of the Frosted Flakes breakfast cereal box… but I’d speculate they are not nearly as pissed off as the guy who got bumped, Tony the Tiger. That’s great…
Of course, nutritionists aren't too happy about the switch either, since Tony the Tiger's cereal has [...] VentureChroniclesByJeffNolan Wednesday, August 20, 2008 Google's $10 Million Investment in Geothermal Indicates the Green Revolution is Underway From Clean Technica:
Google.org announced yesterday that it is investing $10.25 million in an energy technology called Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). The funding will also go towards geothermal resource mapping, information tools, and a geothermal energy policy agenda.
While traditional geothermal energy relies on finding natural pockets of hot water and steam, EGS fractures the hot [...] Businesspundit.com Wednesday, August 20, 2008 How America's Credit Crunch Made Europe Suffer More The Economist claims that America isn’t getting the (disastrous) economic fallout it deserves for starting the credit crunch. Rather, it’s the Europeans who are suffering more:
The credit crunch started in America, but Europe may yet prove the bigger victim.
The housing bust across the Atlantic was the trigger for the credit crunch, so justice [...] Businesspundit.com Wednesday, August 20, 2008 BlackBerry Kickstart Details Leaked While spy shots and info about the BlackBerry Kickstart have been leaking out of RIM [NASDAQ:RIMM] for a while, this week online retailer Expansys made a mistake on its website that fills in many of the remaining details of the phone.

It was a fun poster, done in the style of those cheesy supplement ads. And though it made me smile, it took me some careful examination of the small, legal text to see it is an advertisement from Absolut Vodka.

In short, when you download and app, it works fine for a few weeks, then begins an annoying habit of occasionally quitting immidiately upon opening. The new iPhone software update -- version 2.0.2 -- doesn't do a thing to remedy the problem, which has customers up in arms.
