I'm passionate about coding and researching the history of technology as well as exploring where technology is leading.

I used to work in flight simulation doing both hardware implementation (electrical design, wiring), web development (design, development, webmaster), as well as software development (desktop development in C#).

I'm a big fan of both using and contributing to Open source projects.

I am the creator of the pypreprocessor library that can be found on PYPI as well as Google code.

Oct 10	comment	Is “Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It” thesis correct? @Joe lol... Actually, no. I was just responding directly to the passage the OP quoted. Maybe I'll check it out to see if I could learn something new.
Sep 1	comment	Strengthening neck and shoulders to hold weight on my head +1 for headstands. Wearing a helmet makes it more comfortable to do for longer periods of time. Kinda like what BBoys use while practicing headspins. While on your head you can also do cor strengthening exercises using your legs.
Aug 12	comment	How to maximize mitochondrial biogenesis? +1 Great answer. I wonder how an increase in mitochondria mass relates to the increase in anaerobic threshold you get from high intensity anaerobic workouts. I know that blood lactate saturation is an indicator that whatever byproducts of work that cause fatigue are building up faster than they can be processed. Could mitochondrial mass be used as a deciding factor to determine fatigue resistance while doing anaerobic work? Or, is it just one small piece to the greater physiological puzzle.
Aug 10	comment	Tips to lose fat without running, jogging etc (have bad knee) @Berin I only mentioned thermodynamics to try to bring the comments back on topic (since that's what this answer is really addressing). I think you're confusing BMR with caloric expenditure. BMR is energy used when you're in a resting state (lying down doing absolutely nothing). To say your calorie deficit increased even when you were doing absolutely nothing active just because you had more muscle mass is a pretty controversial statement. I'm not saying it isn't plausible, I'd just like to see factual proof (not anecdotal).

Jul 22	comment	Why is it important to recuperate between workouts? The importance of recovery has already been largely addressed in this question fitness.stackexchange.com/q/96/501.
Jul 21	comment	Constantly feeling tired despite sufficient sleep and regular exercises. +1 Insufficient recover (overtraining) after exercise could definitely be the cause. Be sure to check out fitness.stackexchange.com/q/96/501 for a more detailed synopsis on recovery.

Jul 15	comment	What is a recovery meal, and of what should it consist? On a side-note, the original Gatorade that became so famous was basically water with potassium, salt, lemon juice, and a little sugar added to replace electrolytes and give a little energy boost. It also supposedly tasted terrible. The stuff you see in stores is not the same formula. Store-bought Gatorade is nothing but non-carbonated soda with some potassium and sodium added. You can make your own homemade gatorade using Morton's Lite Salt (potassium chloride), sugar, lemon juice (or Kool-aid), and regular salt, just be careful about how much potassium/salt you add.
Jul 15	comment	What should I eat or drink before jogging? +1 good answer.
Jul 15	comment	What is a recovery meal, and of what should it consist? +1 good answer. I'd also put emphasis on the 'how much' of each type of nutrient. For instance, more emphasis on protein after anaerobic or weight lifting and more emphasis on carbs after long duration aerobic. Also, don't forget to replenish your electrolytes (potassium, sodium). Most sports drinks supplement these but also contain a ton of sugar (bad for weight loss). A healthy alternative would include eating a banana and food with some salt, or drinking some pickle juice. Electrolytes are the key to avoid the workout-hangover feeling the morning after a hard workout.
Jul 15	comment	Recommended amount of cardio exercise (cont) There are disadvantages to both types of workouts too. For instance, if you focus mostly on aerobic cardio, you'll find that it becomes increasingly difficult to increase intensity above your normal range. Conversely, while anaerobic cardio is also good for endurance it's not so good for long range endurance. While your cardiovascular system will become really good at recovering from high intensity exercises, you'll also increase muscle mass (which requires more energy). That means you'll run out of energy a lot faster and have to eat more often to avoid hitting an energy trough.
