  1. Today, one of the second-graders I work with wrote an essay about why I am better than Batman. In Spanish! :) flickr.com/photos/jdroth/…
  2. @SavingLifestyle Haha. Thanks for the catswarm app, Andrea. :)
  3. Janet and Carla, drinking and smoking at the Crossfit wine drinking outing. Fun stuff. instagr.am/p/JakscGnvY_/
  4. Here's @maneeshsethi's video interview with me about building a successful blog: hackthesystem.com/blog/how-j-d-r…
  5. Strange but true: The fancier/more expensive the hotel, the more difficult it is to connect to the internet. Cheap hotels have great access.
  6. My superpower: I am chosen for extra security at the airport EVERY time.
  7. Only 49 tickets remain for World Domination Summit 2012: wds2012.eventbrite.com -- #wds
  8. At last, the story can be told: How and Why I Sold Get Rich Slowly -- getrichslowly.org/blog/2012/01/3…
  9. Weightlifting competition at Crossfit today. Set a PR with 335# on deadlift! instagr.am/p/hKPlQ/
  10. Planning for #wds 2012 is well underway. Today the team is touring venues. instagr.am/p/gl6Rz/
  11. Here's what I mean by "Mexican Rock" (and really, it's Latin American rock): spoti.fi/zLjhAV -- my Spotify playlist for today.
  12. @wdelrizzo I like Maná, but I also like Juanes and Shakira (both Colombian, I know) and many, many more.
  13. @seanogle It's actually my Maná station, but I figured nobody would know who Maná was. (Well, @maneeshsethi would...)
  14. I love that my "Mexican Rock" Pandora station throws in "Someone Like You" by Adele at least once per day.Is Adele from Oaxaca or something?
  15. Why, hello, Twitter. I feel like a big bear emerging from hibernation. It's been a while since I've seen the light of day!
  16. I love, love, love finding old nearly-completed articles on my hard drive. Like manna from heaven.
  17. @csreed Try "Your Money & Your Brain" by Jason Zweig. He does a good job of summarizing the research into behavioral economics.
  18. Emily and Noah decorate Christmas cookies instagr.am/p/bX8Q8/
  19. If you had 1000 people in one place for a summer weekend, what sort of service project or charity work would you do?
  20. Today at Crossfit: my first time doing Fran RXd (which means 45 thrusters at 95# and 45 pull-ups). Finished in 10:25.
