Red Dolan

I have recently set up Heidi and I’s personal blog. It is for our life, trips and events. I started it for our wedding info and then thought that it would be fun to incorporate our honeymoon as well. Now I am thinking it will just be for everything related to the “New Dolan Family”.

Follow us on http://heidiandchaunce.com. I will be posting pics and stories from our trip to London and Paris!

MotoCzysz has a prototype electric motorcycle that they have recorded a video of it being treadmill tested. The thing that blew me away was how quick it was. I have heard lots of things about electric motors and how much torque they have not to mention how fast they can accelerate, but to see it in action gave me goosebumps. I would love to have one of these bikes. Read the rest of this entry »

I recently finished working on my next 8 bit art piece, a 23″ tall version of Master Chief from Halo. Being that it is top heavy, I decided to mount it to my wall at my desk and put the white paper behind it to make the colors pop a bit more.

First off, I have to say that P90X is an amazing fitness program. I have never felt this good or been in great a shape as I am now.

Now on day 11, I am feeling great amount of momentum. Every day I look forward to coming home and working out. Some days are more of a challenge than others, like plyometrics. Because we live above another unit, we are always concerned that we are making too much noise for our neighbors below. Plyometrics has you doing a lot of jumping, which makes the most amount of noise. This makes if difficult for us to push ourselves and really get the most out of that workout.

I started P90X on Saturday after finishing my 90 Day Challenge with the Power 90 program. I can definitely attest to the X in P90X, that it stands for extreme.

My entire body is sore after two workouts. The workouts are more intense than any I have ever seen or done. They also seem to be targeting different parts to muscles that I have been used to working out. For example, the quad exercises seem to be targeting not only the tops but also the insides and outsides as well. They mimic athletic movements that you might do in certain sports. This makes them feel a bit more natural as well. Read the rest of this entry »

I recently started another 8-bit art project. It involves using a product called Pixelblocks. I purchased a 2,000 piece set from Thinkgeek.com a couple weeks ago. The first design idea that came to mind was Mega Man as I have already done some Mario-inspired ones.

My friend Nick sent me these pics of some Star Wars Imperialists cruising down the highway in their sports cars. Nice find. The best is at the bottom of this post…

Today Heidi and I reached the 90th day in our 90 Day Fitness Challenge done through the Power 90 workout program. I can definitely feel a tremendous difference in my body. I have more energy and feel stronger all around.

Heidi and had decided a few days ago that we would continue the Power 90 workout program for another 3 weeks. This is to cover the two weeks that I was sick and the following third week that we were in Texas visiting her family. All of those three weeks we did eat by the program but didn’t workout. So our decision is to truly put our bodies at where the Power 90 program would have our bodies had we not slipped those three weeks. Read the rest of this entry »

A locavore is someone that only eats food that is from a 100 mile radius from their house.

I was reading through this month’s Bicycling magazine and came across an article about locavorism. I do my best to be a locavore. I visit my local farmers market regularly to buy seasonal produce and other products. I know I am not perfect, but I make my efforts a regular habit. Read the rest of this entry »

I have added a bunch more iPhone wallpapers (iPod Touch too) to my Obey Giant iPhone Wallpapers Gallery. From what I can tell most of these additions to TheGiant.org’s site are from his recent art show that was at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston (a show I wish I could have attended). Enjoy the new wallpapers!

When people find out that I am a roller derby referee, most usually ask “How did you get into that?” Well, here is my story. Read the rest of this entry »

Check out the new roller derby gallery I put up. The pictures were taken by Jim from Kustom Kulture. Thank you Jim for the great shots.

You can check out the rest of the bout photo on his site under SDDD vs OCRG 1/10/09. This bout was between our San Diego Wildfires and the Orange County Rollergirls. It was held at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in the Wyland Hall.

I am now on day 52 of my 90 Day Fitness Challenge (Power 90 Program - P90), and I have to say that I am feeling great!

I had been really sick for about 2 weeks followed by a Holiday trip for a week visiting Heidi’s family in Texas. So for about 3 weeks, I didn’t work out very much, I think I got in about 4 or five days. I did however follow the meals that we had planned fairly accurately. I think that eating as well as we did considering I didn’t work out as much, helped me keep weight off. Read the rest of this entry »
