About a month ago I tried to swing 32 kg kettle-bell for straight 50 times. And failed at 21.
This evening I swung two rounds for straight 30 with a break after the first round. I literally crashed onto the floor at the end of the second round. It felt wonderful.
It is hard, but I will keep practicing and see how long it takes for me to swing 32 kgs for 50 times non-stop.
Last week I discovered Sunrise calendar app. I loved it at first sight.
Sunrise joins Wunderlist in my GTD tool set.
I connected my work, personal and Facebook calendars and Wunderlist to Sunrise.
Everyday, Wunderlist tells me what to do and Sunrise tells me when to do. This is a great thing. Because a wise man once said, and I can attest from my experience, the things that get scheduled are the things that get done.
One of my Facebook friends posted the link to this interesting Tim Cook’s letter to Apple’s customers.
I am shocked by these two paragraphs:
…now the U.S. government has asked us for something we simply do not have, and something we consider too dangerous to create. They have asked us to build a backdoor to the iPhone.
Specifically, the FBI wants us to make a new version of the iPhone operating system, circumventing several important security features, and install it on an iPhone recovered during the investigation. In the wrong hands, this software — which does not exist today — would have the potential to unlock any iPhone in someone’s physical possession.
Despite the NSA news stories, I found it hard to believe any high profile technology company having backdoors in their software. Or governments forcing technology companies to introduce backdoors. I thought all that is blown out of proportion and dramatic.
Now I believe governments can do this and have actually done this.
I found a post titled Fear is boring, and other tips for living a creative life which is apt for the creative challenge I am going through my life currently.

Sooner or later, results eventually follow all the efforts. So more than results, I’m worried about feeling smug and getting distracted by the results.
Nine years ago on this day my sweetheart and I exchanged rings, six months after exchanging our hearts.
I dead-lifted 60 kg for the first time on a 20 kg bar holding a 20 kg plate on its each side.
At 15%, my body fat percentage falls in the fit range. I only need to shed 2% to fall in the athletic fat range.
Today has been pretty awesome.
