If you have considered going paleo but struggle in the kitchen or (like me) just figuring out new ways to eat the right foods this article is pretty solid. 5 meals, 35 minutes (probably means 70 for me) and all planned out.
A new app called Moves could be the simplest fitness app ever.Essentially, Moves gives you no more excuses.
- It lives in your iPhone and tracks your activity in the background, so there’s no separate device to learn how to use or remember to carry (you already have your phone on you at all times).
- There’s no setup: You install it, turn it on, and that’s it.
- And there’s no management, syncing, or any other “interactive” bullshit to forget to do or get bored of and stop doing altogether. You don’t even have to launch it—Moves will simply ding a little summary of your physical activity into your Notifications Center every day, where you’ll end up seeing it regardless of what you’re doing with your phone.
Okay, definitely on my list to try.
Wonder how it doesn’t drain the battery?

Twitter Happiness Levels Soar As People Travel Further From Home
Happiness levels caputred by Tweets rise logarithmically with distance from our average location, say computer scientists studying Twitter sentiment
Full Story: MIT
The headline is interesting enough: when people get out of their normal location they express happiness.
But another nugget in the article is:
However, they also measured the average distance that each Twitter user travelled according to their geolocation data. They found that people in cities tend to travel over a larger area than people who live in less densely populated areas.
City dwellers travel farther. Which shouldn’t be a surprise I guess but is.
After years of debate about Sound Transit’s light-rail line in Bellevue, the City Council and the Sound Transit board will decide this week which options — some of them still controversial — to take to final design.
Anyone want odds on Bellevue getting light rail right?
