This is a view from within one of the cavernous beer tents in Oktoberfest at Munich from my recent trip to Germany. They had some of the best tasting rotisserie chicken and beer that I’ve had… This was taken at around 10 am, and you can see that it’s pretty full. As the day progresses and gets later and later these tents really pack up… but no one seems to mind because the beer is flowing!

- Another article about Lebron’s diet to go with the many others out there, only this one has pictures of his food! Here’s a followup article detailing the increase in popularity of ketogenic diets among athletes.

- Metamoris 5 is soon approaching with a match up that made me so OMG for the first time like a teenager, Renzo Gracie vs Kazushi Sakuraba. I remember watching the first couple of Pride’s and just being blown away with how effective Sakuraba aka the Gracie Hunter was. November 22 cannot come soon enough!
- One of my favorite podcasts is This American Life, and some of their recent spinoffs have jsut been fantastic. I’m particularly captivated by a new one called Serial…
- A link the BJJ Cavedad sent me about one of his favorite gluten free pies…. American Pie.
- Mark Sisson wrote an entertaining tongue-in-cheek post this week. I was on board with the majority of things he was saying… except for giving up Amazon Prime. Sorry… I don’t care how un-paleo and un-primal Amazon prime is, free two day shipping is a modern day convenience you’ll have to pry from my cold dead hands!
- Lastly, while I applaud the innovation, this is a supplement I definitely won’t be adding to my regimen…
