One of my credit card providers sent me an email this morning promoting some of the ways I can use my membership rewards points.

Here’s a screenshot from the email:

That’s right… This email promoted both discounts on fitness bands for keeping New Year’s resolutions and charity bonuses for using rewards points to eat at McDonald’s.

Unfortunately, I already carry a Fitbit, so I know which offer I am more likely to use.

I previously posted this image more than three years ago, shortly after I started commuting to work by bike. It represents one of the many reasons I ride to work, which I will continue to do for the foreseeable future.

Benefits of riding a bike

I only care about a few of these benefits. Guess which ones.

ZOMBIES, RUN!

ZOMBIES, RUN!

I am severely tempted to buy an iPhone just to try this app that recreates the sensation of being chased by Zombies. Apparently, you are less likely to slow down or stop if there is a risk of your brains being eaten.

You tie your shoes, put on your headphones, take your first steps outside. You’ve barely covered 100 yards when you hear them. They must be close. You can hear every guttural breath, every rattling groan – they’re everywhere. Zombies. There’s only one thing you can do: Run!
