Riding with DNB Arena

bachelors of science labelGot home and had nothing on my mind other than getting on the bike and getting some miles in. Did the sun lakes route again same as Sunday and finished 20 minutes faster. Gorgeous sunset as always and 33 miles in 105 minutes.

Got through 3 mixes from DNB Arena:
Bachelors of Science – very smooth stuff, good warmup
Logan D & Evil B – much harder and Evil B’s lyrics might be considered a bit rude, but its good for dropping the hammer
Mixmaster Doc – at this point my legs were shot so it was good just for rolling on home

Sun Lakes Route

Saying more with less

Had a great conversation last night about life and things. One point was made about writing with a constraint of 300 words is much tougher than free form because you have to be very mindful of your choice of words. I immediately thought of a post I had just read earlier in the day:Creative Constraints: Going to Jail to Get Free | 43 Folders by Merlin Mann. He starts talking about some examples of how Twitter enforces this.

In Twitter you are limited to 140 characters per message, just like a text from your phone. Mann points out that this creates opportunities for creative writing by confining us to how much we can say.

I am playing with the six word constraint for the rest of the week:
