Recently Flipped

I've always been a fan of Flipboard.  They were the first app to take the information you follow from all of your channels and put it into once single space.  Not only that, they've taken the articles you read and collect, they've displayed it in the very familiar magazine layout.

Anyway, I could on and on about the usefulness and functionality of Flipboard, but you can check it out on your own.  My reason for bringing it up is to add a new segment post on the articles I've recently shared on Flipboard and being shared by others, as a result.

Breathe Like A Superman | Surfer | The Wim Hof Method takes root in surfing by the likes of Kelly Slater, Laird Hamilton, and Koa Smith. There’s an almost crazed look on Wim Hof’s face. Aggressive and curious, the ice-blue eyes of the 57-year-old dart as he speaks to a crew from Vice about his self-proclaimed breathing method that can enable everyday Joes to do incredible things. According to Hof, who hails from the Netherlands, he’s found a way to ward off disease and redefine what the human body is capable of—all by controlling his breath. It’s easy to be a skeptic, but as Hof has gained more attention in the past few years, he’s amassed quite the following, including a handful of world-class surfers.

Bodyweight Workout For Busy Men | Art Of Manliness | Many men don’t realize that serious muscle and strength can be built with just bodyweight exercises.  Not only that, bodyweight only workouts can be high intensity and done in quick training sessions throughout the week.

Many men don’t have time to spend hours in the gym because they have families, they work long hours or they are just too busy going out on dates. Yet they still want to stay in fighting shape. For them, a short, intense bodyweight workout is just what the doctor ordered.

As Heat Wave Causes Hikers' Deaths, Experts Share Safety Tips | National Geographic | Fifty miles east of Phoenix, Arizona, the Superstition Mountains rise out of a stark desert landscape. One of Arizona’s most rugged ranges, the jagged hoodoos and narrow canyons were formed by volcanic eruption 30 million years ago. Last weekend, as a record-breaking heat wave struck the Southwest, temperatures in the wilderness area soared dangerously.

The 20 best CDs of 2011 , by Brian Q. Newcomb It's that time of year when lists by the dozens start making their way into magazines, blogs, tweets and over the airwaves.  I'm adding to all of that by forwarding this one along.  In fact, I may even add to those before the years is up.  Actually, I probably won't add until the year has past by a few days. The list below is by Brian Q. Newcomb, one of my favorite music critics. I'm not a fan of everyone on his list, but respect his musical tastes enough to give them a spin (Thank you Spotify).  Some I have been a fan of for years and other will be a discovery.  I'm looking forward to what I will hear.
