To see results, you’ve got to STICKAM to your workouts!

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. I’ve come to find many applications that have been beneficial for both group exercise instructors and personal trainers.
One personal trainer in particular, Steve Turano from […]

South by Southwest (aka SXSW)

No, it’s not a typo. I didn’t mean to write “North by Northwest” (the famous Hitchock-Cary Grant flick thriller). 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’ […]

I’ve been Tagged!

It was Tuesday evening and I was hard at work on a presentation for Virginia G. Piper Cancer Center in Scottsdale, AZ on how to integrate Web 2.0 technologies with their programming (thanks to Jennifer Sukalo for connecting me with this opportunity). When all of a sudden… “beep-beep-beep” - in came a text message from […]

Blogging for Health & Wellness

When it comes to subscribing to blogs, you have to spend a lot of time sorting through a million foggy-blogs before finding those that are substancial (and hopefully, still active) enough to read. I don’t care if Technorati claims over 70 million blogs online. I just want to know which blogs […]

Your Facebook is Runlicious!

 
Is it just me or is Facebook one of life’s best little addictions?  I’ve been keeping my profile active, logging in at least once a day, hoping to find out if there’s more to this online social networking than making and reconnecting with new and old friends.
As most of you know, it’s running season […]
