Shooting Successfully With Any Footwork in Basketball
I came across Brian McCormick's Hard2Guard Player Development Newsletter, which focuses on coaching basketball, via Mike Klinzing's Hoops Head Podcast Newsletter (Hoops Head inspired one of my recent memories articles). I had almost included Mr. McCormick's On Being a Generalist in my NLJ 6th Birthday Blogging Wisdom Series, but I ended up saving it for...
No Grand Slam Winners in 2026 French Open Men’s R16
I watched a good amount of most of tennis' grand slams from about 2000 through 2013 or so. I was a Roger Federer fan, and for a good chunk of that period, you could always count on Mr. Federer playing late into the Slam (he had a record 23 consecutive Semifinals appearances from Wimbledon 2004...

Getting My First Swimming Diploma
My updates about swimming keep aging fast, and that's a good sign. Last month, I mentioned I was finally having lessons at the deep end of the pool, and how it was being a blast. So much happened the past three weeks though!

It feels good to be back in a swimming pool. After a lot of hiccups in the process of starting the swimming lessons, I finally had my first one last week, and yesterday my second one. It's been quite a blast.
An Update on Processing Bosch's eBike Flow FIT Files
Over two years ago, I wrote an article where I laid out a few issues with Bosch's eBike Flow app. The first one being that their Apple Health integration is lacking, and does not synchronize information about power and cadence. The second was that their exported FIT files are malformed and cannot be properly imported anywhere. Sadly, it's still the case.
Back To Running
In my last monthly recap, I mentioned I started running again, after taking a few months break. I'm now three and a half weeks in the new program, and I felt a bit of an urge to write a bit about how it has been, what am I feeling, and whether or not I want to continue.
