Thoughts on a bike

Tuesday, August 28, 2007

As part of my voluntary restructuring and downsizing program, I’ve been doing spin classes at my gym. It’s a crazy 45-minutes of cycling, bouncing up and down on a bike, and shvitzing. The only way to get through the class, IMHO, is to think about other things to pass the time more quickly. Here’s what I think about while spinning.

  1. Once this song ends, I’m that much closer to being done.
  2. Dear god, when is this song going to end?
  3. Bayes Theorem. Also known as Bayes’ rule or Bayes’ law. The probability of an event A conditional on another event B is generally different from the probability of B conditional on A. However, there is a definite relationship between the two, and Bayes’ theorem is the statement of that relationship. ;)
  4. The accounting equation. Seriously. Assets = Liabilities plus Owners Equity. I have no idea why I think about that, but on the bike, it all makes sense.
  5. Why I don’t blog more often.
  6. How can one human sweat so much?
  7. Drink, breathe, drink, breathe.
  8. Hyperconnectivity.
  9. Booster Juice’s  Strawberry Sunshine smoothie. (Quite possibly the best drink ever  invented).
  10. Pad Thai.

    All the blessings of success in your downsizing efforts, Bloomie my man. It’s a hard road, but one worth navigating.
