Zwift Point System Flaws

Zwift Point System Flaws

I am slowly closing in on Zwift level 50 which was (until recently) the highest level attainable. Alas, I suppose enough people had hit level 50 that Zwift HQ decided it needed to raise the roof to level 60, but I suppose it’s just as well. After all, my zeal for...
New Flyers Uniforms

New Flyers Uniforms

Word has reached my desk that the Philadelphia Flyers are getting new uniforms for next season. While this really seems to be a case of fixing something that doesn’t need to be fixed, it’s probably going to happen anyway, so I might as well let everybody know what...
Pigs today, everything else tomorrow

Pigs today, everything else tomorrow

Not too many animal welfare issues make it to the Supreme Court, but that is where we will find California’s Proposition 12 today. Proposition 12 is in the spotlight more because of its implications for interstate commerce than for what it means for animal welfare per...
Another Restart

Another Restart

If you are a regular reader of this blog (and I highly doubt it!), you will notice that I have made a few changes recently. I have split a couple of the blog topics into their own blogs, because I was starting to get a little more serious about them and this blog...

Gutenberg vs. Divi

Gutenberg vs. Divi

In late January (2022), I upgraded this site to WordPress 5.9 and, on impulse, I decided I would go full-Gutenberg. The Gutenberg block-based editor is the future of WordPress, to be sure, and it seemed like maybe even in its less-than-fully-mature state it would be...
Rouvy or Zwift?

Rouvy or Zwift?

Recently I decided it was time to give another indoor riding environment a try. After 1,000 rides on Peloton and grinding through more than 40 levels of Zwift, I was beginning to feel like I had exhausted those platforms, and with so many options I wanted to try...
Not a valid JSON response

Not a valid JSON response

For developers, what do you do when it’s your plugin that’s getting the dreaded “Update failed. The response is not a valid JSON response.” message? While I was developing my WordPress plugin, I occasionally found that I was encountering the...
On Writing a WordPress Plugin

On Writing a WordPress Plugin

In December of ’21, I wrote my first WordPress plugin for something other than my own use. That plugin was “PetPress”, a plugin connector for PetPoint and WordPress. In January I submitted it to WordPress.org for inclusion in their catalog, and after...
on Replacing your Peloton Pedals

on Replacing your Peloton Pedals

What pedals should I replace my Peloton pedals with? I have been asked that question numerous times since I wrote my blog post on broken Peloton pedals and the need to replace them periodically (about every 12 months, according to Peloton). You’re a busy person,...
