The victims of airbnb and short term rentals
I've heard people say that airbnb and the like are disrupting the hotel industry by letting anyone rent out his or her residence. This may seem like a great idea until you're the person living next door to one of these rentals. Instead of having a neighbor that you know by name, you have random people staying for 1 night, 3 nights, a week. This can bring more crime, noise, and reduce property values. San Francisco just passed an ordinance regulating short term rentals putting a cap on the number of days a place can be rented a year. This number is capped at 90 days, but that is still far too many, in my opinion.

Fun with Xcode Server - Round 2
Earlier this year, I wrote about Xcode Server as well as some issues I had with it. My Xcode Server has been running well for months spitting out builds for testing as well as ones that goto the AppStore.

Review: SportRX
Earlier this year I came to a realization that I was putting in my contact lenses on most days only to run. I'm not sure why it took so long as I work from home and in most weeks, I tend not to leave the house except to run. So I was wearing my contacts for a few hours a day which has become old. I decided to look into prescription running glasses, glasses with a little bit of a wrap. I found SportRX online and realized that they were less than 5 minutes from my house.

Going on a fad diet
OK, my title is a bit misleading, however it caught your attention! Luckily I've never really had to watch what I eat and I try to run about 4 times a week. (About 4 years ago I did put on a few pounds when I really hated my job; I didn't have the desire to run and just kept eating.) Earlier this year, I started having some stomach problems and after a my doctor performed a few procedures and determined that there was nothing wrong with me, I was kind of on my own to solve my issues.
