If you haven't seen it yet, here's Paris Hilton's ad for President.
I'm not bringing this up to be a whore for page-view attention. Really, I'm not.
I am bringing it up because it's a kick-ass video ad for a job. And, it's also the prime reason why we won't see video ads springing up everywhere. Why, you ask?
- You don't have drop-of-the-hat access to a camera & lighting crew that knows what it's doing.
- You probably can't hire a professional writer at a moment's notice to come up with great dialog.
- You probably can't read off a teleprompter and make it almost look like you're not.
- You're probably not as hot as Paris Hilton (hey, her words, not mine!)
But, if you did have all these at your disposal, you'd do it. In a heartbeat.
It would be, um, hot.
And I'm not using celebrity videos to up my page hits. Really, I'm not.
What do you do to keep learning? August 7, 2008

I love learning new things. This can take the form of figuring out new technical things, or a new business idea, or how to physically do something different.
It’s one of the things I love about functional fitness. Every workout, do something new, try a different way, challenge yourself. Maybe that means adding more reps, or maybe it means more weight, or maybe it means changing the way you do something. Decline push-ups anyone?
Today, we worked a bunch on the part of my form that’s used in the bar clean and bar snatch movements. I’m not making the last but of the full extension, or ‘pop’ as we call it, happen, so I’m not nearly efficient as I could be. Also, it’s important to establish good form with lighter weights so you reduce the risk of injury later.
Warmup:
- 10 Overhead Squats @ 45 lbs
- 400 M run
- 40 Wallballs @ 20 lbs
- 40 Abmat Situps
- 10 Overhead Squats @ 45 lbs
Workout:
- 36 Reps of improving my bar snatch
- 2K Row: 7:18 (PB)
- Deadlift to get to max weight:
- 6 reps @ 185 lbs
- 6 reps @ 185 lbs
- 6 reps @ 235 lbs
- 6 reps @ 235 lbs
Very pleased with the rowing PB. Looking forward to continued improvements in that area, though I think they are going to be smaller and smaller steps. The deadlifts were hard, especially because I continue to struggle w/my form on that one, too. Ah, more learning in my future!
Workout:
- Type: Other
- Date: 08/07/2008
- Time: 07:00:00
- Total Time: 1:00:00.00

I've written before about the power of references, and why you need them, and even a little bit about what to look for in a reference.
Copyblogger has a great post - How to Power Up Customer Testimonials. You know, references! Lot's of good stuff here for your on-line profile, or your resume.
