Highpointing 10 More U.S. States
It took a little over 3 and a half years to do another 10 states, but here they are! Over 6 years high pointing and I don't intend to stop. Hopefully you'll see me in 2026 or 2027 with 30 states down!

Reading a 500 Page Book in 1 Day: Achievement Unlocked
Переглядів 1,2 тис.3 роки тому
"All The Light We Cannot See" by Anthony Doerr was the PERFECT choice for this challenge. But I don't think I'll do this again, probably maximum of 100 pages a day from now on unless I find something equally gripping. I have a few other ideas for reading challenges and I'm looking forward to them in the near future.
18 Perfect Holes in One (Mini Golf)
Переглядів 9473 роки тому
Filmed 3/20/21. A total of 411 strokes. While only 2 of these holes were genuine holes in one, those were mainly luck. It feels like a much better accomplishment to get a hole in 1 after 50 failed attempts. This course was relatively easy (no windmills or water jumps), but still took nearly 4 hours and gave me a very sore back!

7:59.5. Twice a week, 3 miles each run. I know this was with very little training, but the first goal was meant to be simple. The sub-7 minute mile will come soon! One day I will be back to where I was in high school, running low 5. :) Overthinking (instrumental) by RYYZN soundcloud.com/ryyzn​ Creative Commons - Attribution 3.0 Unported - CC BY 3.0 Free Download / Stream: bit.ly/_overthinking​ ...
Rubik's Cube Race Against World Record Holder

Throwback! September 19, 2017, at Book Culture in NYC. At the time of this video, Patrick Ponce was the 3x3 world record holder with a time of 4.69 seconds. Patrick is a phenomenal all around cuber and an even cooler friend, and it's been great to watch him just succeed monumentally at everything he's set his mind to, including becoming world record holder as well as National Champion.

    This was a great video Bobby, I dont have people to kick with either and henced delved into the freestyle type of footbag. If you havent yet DO IT. Your kick skills are on point, next practice delays, then clippers, then the around the world, then the world is your oyster.

    • @BobbyMack

      I learned to play when I was six years old but did not take it seriously until a year prior to this video. I did regular chess puzzles on chess.com and watched videos from Ben Finegold on famous games. I played in 1 tournament prior to this video and that is what most improved my play. Playing long, slow, 4 hour tournament games and analyzing them (and solving chess puzzles) I think is what best helps your play.

    I'm a noob and don't play chess. At 2:38 why not take the pawn at D6 first? Would he have responded by moving the castle, so this was just a guaranteed way to get it off the board?

      Yes. The rook is worth more than the bishop, so I was up material after this exchange.

    At the end of the day this guy is still a hustler and has guaranteed cheated people out of money. I have zero respect for any of those guys. They try to distract you, they put their hands all over the board and your pieces, they always cheat the clock by grabbing their piece too soon, and they often put pieces halfway onto squares and then dispute where it was. They play garbage, disrespectful chess and you should never play them. I don’t care if this guy seemed nice, he was being filmed and knew he had to be on his best behavior. Even still he was annoying the whole time.

    Good job, it can take some time, but you hustled hard and made that goal happen -- bravo! In the last 6 months I have also been hackin away again after a decade long hiatus, and I can say that I feel so much better now that I have started up again. I re-learned the basics that I always knew - but also learned how to be more consistent, especially with that front toe kick I usually turned into a knee pop move.
