Bison Jerky Recipe

By bryanbig | Published: January 24, 2010
I’ve made my fourth batch of bison jerky this year, and they’ve all been pretty good. This was the first one I made where I used my own marinade. (I’m trying to cut down on my MSG intake, thanks). 1 lb ground bison 1.5 cups soy sauce (oh, I so non-paleo – I’ll turn in my card [...]

Installing the Zoom 5900 Skype Adapator on Windows Home Server

By bryanbig | Published: January 23, 2010
I’ve been playing around with replacing my landline with either Magic Jack or Skype. It’s silly to pay the $35/month for a phone we really never use. Both my wife and I have cell phones. The only reason we have a land-line is so the sitter has a line when taking care [...]

Buffalo Jerky!

Look at one of my favorite gifts from Christmas: This was my first batch of bison jerky. As I set up my goals for 2010, I know I need to change my body composition. The more I read about it, the easier it seems. More veggies, more fruits, more lean animal food, less [...]

Flu no fun

By bryanbig | Published: October 26, 2009
I’ve got some cool projects I’m working on, and would have finished by now if not for the flu. Ugh. Stay tuned – I have some Computrainer file generators for you to use, and am working on an awesome deal on compression socks – we’re talking 50% below what some name-brands are charging. But [...]

Ironman Race Report – Part II

By bryanbig | Published: October 1, 2009
Sunday Morning – I had planned on drinking my shake at 2am, and then getting up at 4am.  I made a gametime decision at midnight and ate then – I figured there was a chance I’d fall asleep and didn’t want to kill it by getting up again in 2 hours.  That didin’t happen:) At 4am, [...]

One Week After – My Ironman Wisconsin 2009 Race Report Part 1

By bryanbig | Published: September 20, 2009
Now that my body feels pretty much healed up and my head seems to be screwed on straight, I feel like I can give a race report to the rest of the world that won’t make me sound like a whiney little biatch. Trying to look at it objectively, I did okay for my first [...]

Ironman is fun

By bryanbig | Published: September 14, 2009
This will be quick because I’m exhausted, I’m typing on my crackberry and I’m off to bed. I’ll have much more detail later. My quick thoughts were my swim was WAAAY too fast for my fitness, I burned too many bike matches in the second hour which then made me shift from a goal-time [...]

Three Quick Thoughts From Madison

By bryanbig | Published: September 10, 2009
1- The Endurance Nation dinner ended up ok, even though there were some hiccups. Hopefully everyone enjoyed it. 2-Lake Monona looks less green – but still smells like a sewage plant. I’ll know more tomorrow after the OWS practice. 3- On a related note: I hope they find the dead guy in the lake before race [...]
