Tuesday Time-Waster: Penguin cam
I kind of like penguins. OK, I really like penguins. One indication is my shelf crammed full of stuffed penguins, all of which were given to me and the oldest of which is about 25 years old. Then there are the … Continue reading
Tuesday Time-Waster: Yosemite time lapse
If you’ve never been to Yosemite, go. If you have been to Yosemite, go back. In the meantime, go watch four minutes of time-lapse videos from the national park. It’s a way to see a bit of the beauty while … Continue reading
Tuesday Time-Waster: Grinch
Today’s 11:11 time-waster is, in my opinion, not a time-waster — regardless of whether you’re a runner or your opinions on the causes of autism. It’s the story of a fundraiser that got shut down by someone who decided, “If I can’t … Continue reading
Tuesday Time-Waster: Gummy bear gifts

Tuesday Time-Waster: A changing racist
While quickly skimming local news to make sure I hadn’t missed anything big, I came across this story about a radical skinhead who wanted to change his life and get rid of his racist tattoos. I read it, then clicked to … Continue reading
Tuesday Time-Waster: Runners World forums
So I didn’t post an 11:11 a.m. Tuesday Time-Waster last week. That was actually not an accident or a case of laziness; I’d just posted my final Kona Ironman report the day before, and I decided that was enough to … Continue reading
Tuesday Time-Waster: Pointless Graffiti
Some graffiti is art. Some graffiti is criminal. And some graffiti really needs to be photographed and preserved for all eternity. Since this is 2011, that’s already been done. Because of modern technology, this one is saved forever: Days after … Continue reading
