I’d really like to know what the deal is with the aspect ratio of A Christmas Story. The 16:9 widescreen edition on the Blu-Ray and the iTunes HD download are a cropped (top and bottom) version of the 4:3 edition that was released on DVD (though at higher resolution). Presumably the 4:3 edition was itself a cropped version (left and right) of the original theatrical edition, though I suppose it’s possible (but not likely) the film was shot in 4:3. I’d really like to see the original version…

Chubby Cheeks fun run yesterday. I took a hard fall on a gnarly section of trail and my Watch helpfully offered to call emergency services for me. Achievement unlocked ☹️.

I may not have the iPad Smart Keyboard Folio yet, but with the help of a couple of dongles I’m getting by.

11″ iPad Pro arrived (but no keyboard yet). Initial observations:

• Very nice. The thinness feels incredible. Flat edges superior to rounded edges.
• I can’t touch-type on the on-screen landscape keyboard the way I can on the 12″.
• Camera bump surprisingly doesn’t cause a wobble.

I shot some video of our local Blue Sky Marathon a few weeks ago.

This guy ran 4 minutes faster than ever before at a 5K this morning.

This should be fun.

Now that I’ve run my slowest (i.e. most difficult) 100 mile race at Mogollon Monster I’ve discovered the code I use to generate my Race Results page has a bug for durations longer than 24 hours.

Mogollon Monster 100 done and dusted. That was the hardest race I’ve ever done, and I couldn’t have realistically expected it to go any better. My 24h56m finish was good for 4th place.
