Earth Day 5K 2008

Earth day 5K 2008, Tempe, AZ.
I couldn’t have asked for a more crystal moment of clarity during the race: Watching the Arizona sun set behind the mountains. My heart beating out of my chest, as I tried to complete the race under 30 minutes. And listening the Beatles cover band echoing the chorus of […]

Run, FatBoy, Run!

I haven’t had much luck with my choices of running movies, lately. The last marathon flick I reviewed (Spirit of the Marathon) was too long, uninspired, and nauseating to watch - kinda like a healthier version of The Blair Witch Project, had they been looking for a finish line instead of a witch.
But the recent […]

Stop, Blog and Roll!

I’ll be presenting another workshop on blogging called “Stop, Blog, and Roll” at Chandler Public Library at the Hamilton Branch on Wednesday, March 26th at 6:30pm. Attendance is FREE and open to the public. Enter the blogosphere and learn the healthy ways of blogging!
UPDATE: Thanks to Ted Leibler from CPL, who helped organize tonight’s […]

Spirit of the Marathon Lacked Spirit!

Last Thursday evening (1/24/08) I went to the premier showing of the documentary Spirit of the Marathon, a film showcasing the journeys of various runners preparing for the 2005 Chicago marathon. As a person who enjoys the sport (though I’ve only completed a half marathon) , I expected a lot more depth from this film. […]

Searching for a Cause

This weekend I attended my college roommate’s wedding. The invitation read “Your presence is the only presents they request.” While I wanted to honor the couple’s request, I didn’t quite feel comfortable showing up empty-handed. After consulting my Twitter friends for ideas, I thought the best ‘no-gift’ gift would be one that would […]

Happy New Year!!

Thank you to all who have been following my blog this year! I look forward to sharing more exciting posts in the new year!

I’m Walking on Sunshine!

Granted, I may spend way too much time drooling over technology. But at least I can step away from it every blue moon to enjoy an outdoor stroll.
(This was the suburban view of the Arizona sunset captured on my cellphone.)

(Okay, so I may have taken my web-enhanced, GPS-equipped, Twitter-capable geeky cellphone with […]

Be Fit on CNN.com

Last month I wrote a post about how the lines between virtual game play and the real world were starting to blur. We are seeing more games incorporate a physical dimension with their computer interfaces. Yesterday, CNN.com posted another article about exergaming. Although the article highlights the exercise trend that video […]

The use of technology can be debatable when it comes to education - when is it appropriate to bring technology into the classroom, what kind of technology is effective in teaching, and how will it ultimately benefit student learning? These are some of the questions that are frequently appearing in today’s academic […]

My Game Stats!

According to the Entertainment Software Association, the statistics on video games state that the average video game player is 33-years-old. Well, today is my birthday and although I’m just shy of 33, I definitely fall within one standard deviation from that number. I guess that either makes me statistically significant or just […]
