Obama - Biden Tax Calculator is Shady
Before anyone goes flying off the handle let me say that I still don’t know who I am voting for and this post is one of the reasons. I don’t feel like I can trust either candidate to tell the whole truth.
Like many people I am interested to see what each candidates tax plan would mean for me. So I went to the Obama-Biden Tax Calculator and began playing with some numbers.
I started...

Fat Kid Health Plan - Week 1
I am feeling pretty good after my first week of the fat kid health plan. All and all I would say I stayed on track, with a few exceptions.
The Good I managed to exceed the goals I set for running by a sizeable amount. I ran 22.25 miles this week, my goals was to run 16 miles. My times aren’t fast by any means, but I am getting it done. I even ran on my break day! I think I will start...
Best BBQ Wings Ever
Yesterday I drove an hour and a half to get wings for the Florida State game (which we won!). This is the second time I have had these wings and they were just as awesome. Julie had asked me to make a video because I tweeted about them so much last time. The name of this little bbq trailer is Mike’s Tasty BBQ. I love these wings so much I also made a Facebook fan page.
Best BBQ...

Fat Kid Needs to Get in Shape
The past few months of travel, deadlines and events have totally destroyed my eating and exercise habits. I have decided the only way I am going to keep myself in check is to put it out there each week and have to admit failure if I make an excuse.
I am wiping out caffeine and cutting back on junk food, alcohol and heavy lunches I eat all the time. My fat ass will be on the road each morning...
Best stuffed "animals" ever!

Well…. not really.
I want to drop a little note to the people that manage the AdAge Power 150. Your javascript should detect what domain your badge is being displayed on. I am not #6 on your list, in fact am not even listed.

Lunch of Champions
Randy and I managed to snag a couple of dirty water dogs. I am going to be burping this thing up in a few hours. Reminds me of when my Mom used to take me to the city when I was a kid.

I just ate some blue berries and my tongue is blue! I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate that u.s. air sucks. They need to take a look at jetblue to see how an airline should operate.

I'l be in New York this week
I am heading to New York tomorrow morning (6 a.m. flight grrrrrrrr) for SMX. I am planning a trip to my favorite restraurant in the City, Joe’s Shanghai in Chinatown. It is a total dive, but the food is awesome and there is always a line. I am a HUGE fan of the soup dumplings and have a special shrimp dish I order that is not on the menu.

21% of My Traffic Comes From Twitter
First off let me say that this blog has very low traffic. It’s not something I spend a lot of time on. Tedmurphy.org isn’t SEO’d (tumblr sucks for that btw), I don’t create a ton of compelling content and I don’t actively market it. Still, I have to say I was suprised to see that Twitter drives more traffic than google to my blog.
What percentage of traffic does...
Calling All Mommies
Last night on my way back to Olrando a waiter spilled an entire beer on me, my phone, my computer, my wallet and on/in my brand new laptop bag. It wasn’t pretty. I am not sure what type of beer it was, but the smell of hops is overpowering and my bag reeks. I don’t think I can put it in the washer, so I am clueless as to how I should get rid of the smell. Any ideas?
