In sociology, the third place refers to the social surroundings that are separate from the two usual social environments of home (“first place”) and the workplace (“second place”). Examples of third places include churches, cafes, bars, clubs, libraries, gyms, bookstores, hackerspaces, stoops, parks, theaters, among others.
Right now statistically speaking, my “Second place” would be the gym to swim. Although I only have “One place” … I would love my third to be a library. Where is your third place?

After years of dreaming and ideating around making carbon fiber products of some sort, I finally had a need to build some custom parts for my triathlon bike. After spending a considerable amount of time reading, watching and listening to tutorials online, I took the plunge and purchased some starter materials. My initial plan was to work with 3D printed moulds and do wet layup.
I purchased a 3D printed started kit from Easy Composites. The shipping was a little expensive (they are based in the UK) but seemed to have the best products, prices and matching material requirements for my needs.
My first project was a simple chain ring cover (which would be the next version of the 3D printed aero cover I 3D printed here). The purpose of this cover is to streamline airflow over the crank while in motion to reduce the bikes Cda (Coefficient of Drag). aka. More slip streamed.

Some interesting, and a few not so interesting or surprising insights from my DNA test from Color.com … SAP had a fairly large discount code offering employees to use the service.

Think or Swim Scripting v2 #ToS
A new take on an old idea of using EMA (Exponential moving averages) to aide in making stock trading decisions. This is a new version of my previous script.
This strategy/study also makes some assumed long buy/sells (With a cap of $5K per trade) of the stock to provide a report of the performance based on the time period.
I still have not had the time to invest in trying to execute these in a timely manner, but always fun to speculate and run some hypothetical scenarios.

I have been on the waiting list for Stelos early access program and was pleasantly surprised to see an email pop into my inbox suggesting I could order one 🙂
I spent roughly 3 months collecting data, doing workouts, monitoring my blood glucose levels, but like many of my data focused gadgets, it ended in with some unique insights about my health, but also nothing ground breaking or earth shattering. I did use it during a 70.3 Race, lots of tough training sessions and I was hoping to identify some weaknesses and low points which would correlate with low energy or fatigue but that did not seem to materialize.
Ultimately what I am learning is that the human body is extremely complicated, there are a handful of reasons why we feel the way we do which we can measure, but probably millions of others, which we can’t. It always seems to bring me back to the mantra of “Correlation does not equal causation”.
