Only one downside to a wooden bike, A flock of woodpeckers that love Alfred Hitchcock - Earl E Morningwood
Remember when you were small and would land on the center bar crushing your nuts? Think splinters. Ouch. - Richard Miles
>R.Miles: Yes, that would surely hurt a lot. The concept is a milestone in the wooden transportation development platform. Think about skates, motorcycle-type of adaptations etc. - Zu aka ElijahBailey
So that's a good reason not to get a friendfeed shirt then? - Jason Carreira
This was unexpected. I went to Crossroads for lunch and and an errand. I thought I saw Robert Scoble and went over to say hello. It turns out that he was at Crossroads with a bunch of other people for a FriendFeed lunch. It was a good day to wear my FriendFeed shirt. - Gary Burd
Great to meet you today Gary. Funny how sometimes the planets align. Scoble has a tendency to make things like that happen :) - Brian Daniel Eisenberg
Of all the food courts in all the malls in the world... - Alan Cheslow
Neat meetup, "gang sign" idea and you guys are THE FriendFeed gangstas! - Susan Beebe
Really funny. I didn't even realize Scoble was back in town. - Mike Koss

I dont drive , so I walk to the transit stop, which is a little over 1KM. so everyday I do a min of 2KM walk avg. OVerall, most of the time its like 3Km /day of walking , every day for the last 4yrs :)- Keepin in shape da easy way ! - Peter Dawson
More than moderate, more than three times a week. - Julian Baldwin
I do - but only because my shoulder is so messed up from being in an accident and typing all day. - Gina
i try to lift or do cardio at least 3 days a week. more in the winter - Eric Schurr
Aside from walking, like Peter, nothing else and I should be doing something else. @Jeremiah three times a week is a very good number, it's keeps you fit and active without wearing you down. That's what I used to do. - Andrés David Aparicio

I don't want to talk about it. I used to be in pretty decent shape, but getting back into IT has really done it to me. I lost about 30 pounds in two years when I was cooking, but I've gained about 10 of it back in the last two. - ha3rvey
gym 3x/wk, soccer when I can plus frequent walks which involve carrying a toddler on my back. - Nathan Eckenrode
Been working up to it. In fact, today I'll do my 3rd moderate 30min workout. Training for the January 2009 Walt Disney World Marathon. - Mike Reynolds
Stationary bike, row, weights. At 50, it's definitely a battle, but one that needs fighting. - Bob Walsh
Does small-child-wrangling count? If so, then yes..:-) - Rjennings
Yeah, I do -- would lose my mind without a bit of movement - Kirk Kittell
Gym 3-5 times a week, plus run 12 flights of stairs 3 times a day every work day. It is not enough though. Just added pushup in my office to my work day routine this week. - RAPatton
A 5-8 km run 3 times a week. I have to do sport, for school - David Adam
I usually try for 5x per week. A combination of cardio and weights, going for overall fitness. Not trying to run a marathon or lift a car off the ground. - steve albers
I do! Have a balance between moderate and intense but work out 6 days a week and have active rest on the 7th. - Karen Swim

You walk a lot in NYC. I once clocked that I walk approx. 4 miles to and from subway stations, home and work. If you keep a good pace, it's not a bad base. - Michael Chin
I try to walk 3 - 4 miles every night. Late nights and rain occasionally stop me, so let's say I get it done 4 nights a week. Could definitely walk more when I'm in NYC, but instead of walking from 40th and 3rd to Penn Station I usually opt to get the LIRR in Long Island City. No walk and 2 stops on the 7 train. - Kevin Shannon
As long as wii fit counts, I do that 30 min a day at least 2-3x/week! - acetone
Me. Running most mornings. I combine Nike+ and GPS tracking to make it bloggable. - Sol Young
I am doing an Ironman August 2nd. So, unfortunately for me, I do very little other than physical activity. - Christopher Sacca
I'm a binge work-outer....I don't do it much, then work out like crazy for 4 days, then go back to my sedentary ways. - Justin Whitaker
I've slowed down this summer but most of the time I'm in the gym 3 - 4 days a week for an 1 hour each. Mixture of elliptical / treadmill / weights. It's hard not to when your significant other is in medical school; I hear horror stories about what could happen if I don't. - Benjamin Golub
I forgot to mention that I'm doing the 100 pushup challenge. Today is day 3 of week 1. - ha3rvey
Just started again with push ups. In the past I walked, before 30 flights of stairs per day. - Russellreno
Err.. yeah. I'm lazy. I do go on walks with my dog 3-4x a week.. - Phil Glockner
Almost exactly 3 times a week, although I'm looking to go to 5 here pretty soon. - Justin Gardner
via twhirl
I go to the rock gym for 2 or 2.5 hours twice a week. I used to ride about 2 miles to the gym, but have lazed out. Similarly I was going to yoga for an hour and a half once a week, but that seems to have fallen by the wayside... :( - felix
@Sol Young - huh! where do you blog that? I'd love to see how that combo looks on the tubes. :) - felix
I do nothing at the moment but I am going to start soon as I feel unfit! - Joe Dawson (beta)
Been a runner since I was in HS, but recently injured my knee and now sidelined. Morale: run but stay off the streets (too hard on your knees). - mark ivey
I workout 6 days a week; an hour to hour and a half. But I only resumed last week after a gap of nearly two months. Travel screws up my workout schedule :( - Parth Awasthi
I work out three times a week for an hour each day. I'm a newly admitted Gym Rat. - Stagekid
I do one sit-up every morning, and always make sure I think about exercise once per week. Having said that, I lost 20 kilos last year by dropping gluten out of my diet... no exercise. Lose wheat, lose weight. - Paul R. Grant
I run on Mon, Wed, Fri morning with my PitBull. Tues,Thurs morning is biking or rollerblading with her. - David Cook
Does chasing 4 youngsters while Thomas Hawk is doing his usual 100 laps in the pool count? - Mrsth
2 mile walk about 2-3x a week, have to bike into work more - Chris Christensen
I'm only doing one 30 min activity a week and feeling guilty for not doing more. - Larry Kless
via twhirl
4-12 hrs/day walking & dancing when traveling. Here in Ohio, 2-4 hr walk every day with my sis (She's on vacation before starting a full-time job in a month, and studying for her medical boards). If possible, I'd like to do 12-16 dance classes/week, but travel nixed that - lucky if I get 6-10 hrs dance/week. Ideally, I'd have 3-5 gymnastics workouts/week. - Mitchell Tsai
Yes, for quite a while now ... and I wouldn't want to do without it. - Tom Landini
I take LOTS of walks, but nothing "moderate physical"... oops... i'm too tired all the time. - Susan Beebe
I'm not sure it translates to 3 times a week at thirty minutes a pop, but I bicycle quite a bit. Currently about 250 miles/15+ hours a month. - AJ Kohn
I swim a mile and a half 3 to 4 times a week. - Thomas Hawk
I'm older than most of you and I don't exercise at all. I hope the younger generation will do better than we did. - Judy Jones
Running, cycling and using our Endless Pool keeps this 120 pound frame... Uh... 120 pounds. - Kevin C. Tofel
I run 3 to 5 times a week, and I walk to walk a couple times a week. - Bill Sodeman
via fftogo
I have been walking at least 2 miles a day, every day, since March - Douglas E. Welch
I run 6 days a week. My shortest run is 5 miles, longest during training is 16 miles. - Jeremy Kunz
I do way more weekly, 30 min 3 x week is minimum recommended only - mike "glemak" dunn
One of my friends had a funny comment in grad school. "I have two sets of friends. One group works out 4-8 hrs/day and the other group sits on couches and drinks beer all day. It's so hard to keep up with both groups." I grew up a skinny geek. Then ended up with people who worked out 4-12 hrs/day (gymnasts, athletes) and considered a 3-4 hr workout relaxing. It's sometimes a weird dichotomy. - Mitchell Tsai
Trying to at least take walks and hike up a hill 3-5 times a week. I also want to get back into swimming and yoga. I dance sometimes, too. - Cathryn Hrudicka
Last time I heard the physical fitness studies - Ten minutes twice a day (instead of 30 min/day), 3X/week gave 60-80% of the benefits of exercising 1-2 hrs 7 days/week. The aerobic benefits of exercising follow a parabolic curve. This info is about 10-15 yrs old. Ten minutes 2/day was as good as 30 min 1/day in the studies. - Mitchell Tsai
Cathryn: If you like, I've got a lot of yoga teacher recommendations for the Bay Area. - Mitchell Tsai
OK here's my theory. Don't live like me. 30 minutes 3x a week is 90 minutes a week. That's 4680 minutes or 78 hrs or 3.25 days a year. So 3.25 days a year times 40 years that's 130 days or a third of a year spent exercising. If you can guarantee that exercising lets me live longer than that for the time, I am in! - Steve Rubel
STeve, u spend 130d across 40yrs, therefore 195d :60yrs, but that investment of 195D actually will increase the aging process to like 70-75Y.. its well worth the investment !! - Peter Dawson
I usually run three times a weeks, 6 mile loops each time. I also ride a bike to work 2.5 miles one way and just got started on the 100 pushups program. So yeah, the myth has been debunked. Tech folks are pretty active it seems. - Tsega Dinka
Steve: I don't know how true it is, but at a staff walk at Stanford, there was a sign that every minute walks extends your life 2 minutes (so you don't lose any time)... :-) - Mitchell Tsai
Truly a rewarding cause. Nice to see there are still people out there who have a heart. - Mike Fruchter
Great idea, thomas! And the portrait is very touching. Thanks for sharing. - Kenichi Matsumoto
This is a very interesting project. It will be cool to see the body of work you collect over the course of several years. This could even become a book or a print show that you have talked about from time to time. - Jeff P. Henderson
I think the project is fascinating and I wish I could do that. But I'm too wary of people I think. I'd be afraid that if someone is desperate enough they'd grab my wallet or camera or both and I wouldn't want to have to deal with that. More power to you though, Thomas. I hope you get lots of good portraits and interactions. - Lindsay Donaghe
I have to remember to take the portrait. I usually give the money anyway. - Russellreno
Trust the people who did none of things alluded to in this video... even thought they had the full control of all houses from 1992 to 1994 and did nothing. Trust the GOVERNMENT, because they make promises it can't keep. - ⓃⓄⒶⒽ ⒹⒶⓋⒾⒹ ⓈⒾⓂⓄⓃ
I love the fact that the democrats allude that THEY are the ones who will respect the constitution. Neither major party has in the past, nor will they start any time soon. - Dave Roth
I'd be voting Republican (if I were a US citizen). - Robin Cannon
via twhirl
I'm voting Republican, because, like, liberalz sukk! *pouts, folds arms and stamps foot* - Jason Menayan
I notice the postings kicking into simplistic bipolar mental models. If Republican stood for dog food and Democrat stood for cat food, which one would you be eating for breakfast tomorrow morning? - Kit Krash
this is the kind of patronizing democrat malaise that plagues the valley. - Kingsley Joseph
via twhirl
yea but if your gung ho on either camp, I know a psychological strategy that will be having you eat either dog food or cat food by tomorrow morning. It's based on the principles of Aristotelian logic, consistency and memetic trojan horses. - Kit Krash
Woh, flash-forward 13 years to my daughter's grad. Congrats to you all. Any advice for that 'letting go' day Robert? - Leif Hansen
congrats Patrick and Scoblefamily :) - Loic Le Meur
Leif: who said I let go? Seriously, I have always tried to treat Patrick as an adult. Or at least an adult in training. That has always done us both good. - Robert Scoble
Was there two years ago and I'll be back next year. I mean literally there. The very same school. Congratulations, Patrick! - Leo Laporte
Congrats to both of you. My eldest daughter also graduated this year. It's a special -- and really weird -- time. ;-) - Chris Baskind
