My new goal is "moderate running". 3 miles, 6 times a week. workign up to 4 miles 5 times per week

I have a weird relationship with magic the gathering. I think what frustrates me is that I am really, really good at it (sorry I'm not humble here), but to be truly exceptional, I would have to spend like 10x more time with it than I do currently. and so playing it always feels like I'm getting "sucked in", because my deficiencies (which come entirely from not playing enough regularly) show up and frustrate me and just make me want to play more, which is something on a macro level I don't want to do. So I continue to play once every few months and set hard limits not to play more than that

just pitched

I’m starting a podcast called “The Ideas Zone with Alex Wennerberg”. I’m not changing the name. Each title will be about “an idea” with a person representing that idea, the title will be [idea] with [person’s name]. Video on YouTube, probably recorded in my apartment. If you have an idea that you want to articulate and are in the bay area please contact me
