I Am Running the Damon Runyon Yankee Stadium 5K
In my continuing desire to keep running and to run with my friends, I have signed up to run through Yankee Stadium for the Damon Runyon 5K. This unique opportunity helps raise money for cancer research and gives an unusual tour of Yankee Stadium that I couldn’t pass up, since it is an intersection of my interests of the New York Yankees, running and working with charities.
Blogiversary
On July 1, 2009, I wrote how Your Medium is Your Message in response to something that was said at a panel that marginalized the role of technology in Social Media. From there, I wanted to continue my point and began weekly blogging and a year later, I continue to write, bringing us to this anniversary.
Bronx Zoo Run for the Wild 5K and April Detox Results
Nine weeks ago, I went to brunch with friends and they challenged me to run the Bronx Zoo Run For the Wild 5K because I was considering taking up running but wavering because of the predicted poor weather. After 9 weeks of running and a month of “detoxing,” I finally ran the race. And I am aware there are a few days left of April, but I thought it best to recap it with the race results.
April Detox
March was a long, busy month for me. Between work, social activities and activity commitments, my free time became minimal and life became strained for me. As such, I felt like I needed to make April a reactionary month for myself and take some time for myself and my health.
I Am Running the Bronx Zoo Run for the Wild 5K
I was at brunch a month ago when I told some friends I was thinking of trying to take up running again, a failed endeavor a year earlier due to work commitments. The coming snow storm caused me to consider starting a week later, but cajoling from my friends pushed me to start the Couch to 5K program that Monday and to prepare for a 5K around the Bronx Zoo.
2009 – My Year in Review
2009 has been a year of ups and downs, highs and lows, and a roller coaster of new experiences. For better or for worse, 2009 has been a game changing year for me, between work, social media, and socially, my world is a different place than it was one year ago.
Wings of a Butterfly (How Twestival Changed My Life)
On February 12, 2009, Twestival not only raised $24,000 in New York City and $250,000 worldwide, but it changed my life as well.
Giving 2 Weeks Notice
So I started this blog with the intention of talking about different projects I was working on and whatnot, but then something happened that I couldn’t talk about until today… About a month ago, I was bored after I got home from kung-fu class and bounced around online, and one of the sites I hit [...]
Rick Rolled
So I was talking to Beth yesterday and she did not know what Rick Rolling was until dinner the night before, when Danielle told her about it. Since they were in person, and not online, there was no actual Rick Rolling, just discussion of said Rick Rolling. Beth tells me this and I figure if [...]
Curiouser and Curiouser
Seems visitors can’t leave comments on that first little blog. I wonder why not. That’s the problem with a turnkey solution vs. a custom made one. I need to learn the ins and outs of a piece of software, rather than building it from the bottom up and editing it to my whims. Alas and [...]
