It looks like 113 YC is proving to be a very good year for many people.
One of my corp mates, Alex Polokov, has decided he wants to man up and be publicly accountable. Alex is a great guy, and I look forward to personally working with him at this. He has a bit of advantage in that he knows me directly, so hopefully we’ll have some great progress pictures to show in three months! Continue reading
Everyone has a certain food they just crave. For me, it’s eggs; I can’t get enough of them. A high protein source of omegas, wrapped up in an easy to cook, versatile little package. There are so many ways to eat eggs that I could never tire of them.
Today, we’re going to look at another simple to prepare, quick to cook, healthy way to improve your nutrition.
In recent months, the relationship between CCP and it’s customers has been the subject of some controversy. The player-elected Council of Stellar Management has played a key role in these events, but not for the first time they are finding CCP difficult to deal with. What effect will CCP’s recent strategies have on the future of EVE Online and it’s player-base? What part can and should the CSM play in shaping that future? How best can EVE Online’s continued health and growth be assured?
Relationships, politics, religion, assured futures. What do they have in common? Uncertainty.
It has always been our nature as a species; concurrent progression and regression. Continue reading
We all hear this phrase thrown around the forums, and we usually laugh. Yet I have to stop and wonder, is there any truth to it lately?
I like to consider myself a good writer, one that can put forward his ideas in a succinct and gripping manner. Even if this is true, I also know when to defer to greater writers than myself, and Seleene recently posted something that simply captures it all in a way better than I could express it.

I know! I know! I thought within my pod. It was an odd sensation to be yelling with your thoughts alone.
Armour plating at 47% capacity. Please engage repairs. Retreat recommended. Aura stated calmly in my mind. Continue reading

It had made sense when I retired from the militia to just continue leasing the hangar I had made use of during my time of service. It was one of the perks offered when honourably discharged, and it was a lot easier than moving my stuff.
The only problem I hadn’t forseen was that I would no longer have use of the militia support staff… Continue reading
Now it’s my turn to blame people. After doing the first 4 Minutes of Hell video, I was so pumped and charged I had to do two more! Of course, looking at the raw footage of the third one, I realize that I have a lot of work to do as a video host, and that one will need to be redone completely. Boo.
In the meantime, let’s talk pushups. Continue reading
A few weeks ago on Twitter, #tweetfleet member @lostoffworld blamed me for her sore legs. Now of course, being the man I am, I had to tell her all the ladies say that, but she was referring specifically to the spin classes she had started taking at her local fitness facility as a result of all my talk about pushing our own workouts to the next level.
It would appear that my “Push it til you puke” mentality has become infectious amongst many of New Eden’s capsuleer community, and quite frankly, I couldn’t be more proud. Continue reading
What a night! Starfleet Comms and Voices from the Void in one fun filled evening! It’s my own fault of course; I had double booked. Thankfully, both show hosts were incredibly gracious and we ended up doing back to back interviews.
Gavin Phoenix has been a fan, and a friend, for a long while. He’s been nothing but supportive of everything I do, and even has encouraged my wife on her blog over at www.farahtheiqbal.com (yeah, she doesn’t post often, I know). Continue reading
Harlon, Daemeon, and more to follow I’m sure. What do they have in common? Public accountability. Each has looked at where they are and not been satisfied. Each has begun the journey of self improvement. Each has stepped forward and said “Roc, I’m going to be held accountable for myself.” Each has shown commitment, discipline, dedication and balls of steel.
I mentioned in the recent Voices from the Void podcast interview that something I have personally struggled with is showing my own beginnings, showing my Day 0 picture. It’s vanity, pure and simple. Will the ladies be disappointed if they see the real me? Will the men criticize, laugh, insult?
Roc Wieler is a hard image to live up to.
So this morning I manned up. This morning I took pictures of where I am today as compared to where I was then. Even though I am my own harshest critique; even though I still have much further to go in my own journey of self-improvement, I have to walk the walk.
Consider this my public accountability. Continue reading
