Welcome

Welcome to my ever-evolving blog. It started out as a blog on Beachbody workouts and products, mainly when I was a Beachbody coach. I no longer coach, not because I don't believe in Beachbody's programs (I subscribe to Beachbody on Demand and use their workouts every day), I am just not a salesperson and hated that aspect of it. I am more than willing to answer questions about my experiences with their products and the various workouts, and I feel freer to do so without the appearance of giving a biased review of something.

I have also started adding reviews for various things I have purchased like movies, books, CDs, and other products. This was brought about by a fight with Amazon in which all of my reviews were removed over a completely bullshit allegation that I posted a review that violated their terms of service. After going back and forth with the morons in the community-reviews department (even after they admitted that my posts did not violate their guidelines) they restored my account (which took them six months to do), but I have been posting my reviews on my blog to have them preserved in case something like that happens again. And here, I will post uncensored reviews so I will swear from time to time and post reviews that may be longer than Amazon's character limit. Everything I post here on any topic or product is my personal opinion, and I take no compensation for any product reviews I post. I am a member of Amazon's vine program and because I get those products for free, I keep those reviews on Amazon only, but everything I have purchased with my own money, whether from Amazon or some other store/website/outlet, I will post here.  

I also plan to do some longer blog posts on various topics, such as how to learn physics, how to get through calculus, and longer reviews of workout programs as I do them. Basically, whatever strikes me as interesting at the time.  As you can see if you navigate around the blog, I had many years in between postings. During that time I was going back to school to get an engineering degree, and learning material that I avoided my first time through college was a different experience and one that gave me a lot of insight into how to do well in those classes, which I will try to impart here for those who are looking to get a science or engineering degree.

Product Review: Coldest Sports Water Bottle - 32 oz

 


This is a more expensive water bottle for sure. That said, if you can afford it, it is head and shoulders above any other bottle I have come across. It is very well insulated. I filled it with ice and then put in some water over the course of the evening when it got down to just ice as I was drinking out of it. When I went to bed, I put the cap on, and in the morning there was still some ice left in the bottle, so the water was still very cold. I have not tried putting anything hot in it, and I am not sure that I will, but given how it performs with ice water, I am sure that it will keep hot liquids for a long time as well. And, despite being filled with ice for hours, the bottle did not "sweat" at all. There was absolutely no condensation on the outside.

The 32oz bottle is definitely too large for most standard cup holders, so if you wanted to take it in your car you would need a cup holder that is capable of expanding. But, for something that you plan to keep in one spot, this is definitely worth it.
