A post from Gangplank's Fat Off
This is a copy of a post from the Gangplank Fat Off blog regarding a recent change from wheat - which has had an enormous impact on my health.
Hello All! For those of you who don’t know me yet, I’m Troy Busot from Athlinks.com - a new anchor at Gangplank. I have been a fairly avid athlete all of my life - having wrestled, played football, and baseball during my formative years, and...

Bike Commuting
Bar none - the best decision that I have made this year has been to give up the car and grab some steel, rubber, and chain lube. In just a few weeks, my technique on the bike and overall fitness have jumped forward in ways that I hadn’t anticipated.
The fixed gear certainly helps, but it’s not just the physical act of pedaling to which I attribute the changes, but also the spiritual...

I decided on this because of the reported battery life in the Apple hardware (which doesn’t even come close to living up to the reports) and we are doing more and more on the iPhone and...
