Mindful Tweets

In an earlier post I had briefly pondered the applications of internet tools, such as Twitter, within the health and fitness industry.

For the past several months (as part of my research for a fitness/tech article I’m writing), I’ve been exploring the various ways health and fitness professionals are using YouTube.

On the third day of […]

I meant, South by Southwest - the Austin based film-music-interactive media festival!!!  AAAAH! I’ve been wanting to attend this conference since I was a film student in college. But since leaving the ‘biz’ […]
