This is so funny, i peed in my pants. Enjoy……..(you have to know Russian)

This is a really cool tool. Just move the slider from left to right and watch the universe from it’s edge to the quantum foam of space time.
Makes you wonder ……..

As someone who spends majority of her awake time on line, with a right wrist in abnormal position I often have pain in my right wrist.
I read all the scary stories about wrist surgery that gone bad or even worst solution of living with chronic pain for the rest of my life.

Good news are here – mouse-less mouse.
I love the idea. Gives your hand freedom to move naturally on the surface.

An UNOFFICIAL race video

THS – The TRUE Hollywood Story

This is a spoof on the Keys 100 Race which is an ultra marathon event.
We (Friends in Training gang) participated in the relay. The day of the run was very hard, mostly because of the extreme heat conditions. We were on the road from 4:00 AM until 4:00 AM and each one of us ran a total of approximately 20 miles.
Of course all the pain and suffering was quickly forgotten as soon as we hit Key West and the party started

About 4 years ago i joined FIT (Friends in Training).
I will not go into details about FIT, but i just want to say that without their love and support I would not complete one single marathon. Never.

Now, 4 years, 3 marathons, 7 half marathons and many many 5 and 10 K’s later, I decided that it’s time to pay it forward.

Since FIT had a very old and not user-friendly website, and developing sites is my passion, I decided to give them new site.

This was my most fun project so far. There was no pressure of ROI, SERPs or Affiliates. Just pure fun.

Since I wanted to be able to choose out of many designs, I decided to post a design contest.

When you hold a contest, you get the most world talents working for you. The response was great.

I had 30+ designers participated in the contest.

Marcela (FIT’s owner) choose the final design which reflects bright Florida colors of the beach where we run every Saturday.

The new site had to be CMS and I choose Drupal.

I really wanted to use my favorite worpress but decided in Drupal favor since wordpress lack many complicated features that Drupal provides.

New site lounge was a huge success. Everyone loved it.

I am so happy and humbled that i was able to work on this project.

So i received my iPad. Did i need it? No. I did not need it. Did I want it? Yes, I definitely wanted it. I am a gadget junkie.

I was sure it will not arrive on time when I received an email notification that it left China on April 1st.

It was in Kansas already on April 3rd at 4:30 in the morning and made it’s way on time as they promised (on April 3rd).
I used it so far only for few hours and here is my opinion so far:

Pros:
1. Looks – very sexy
2. Easy to navigate (like it’s little brother the iPhone)
3. Bright screen
4. Very fast (I am not sure if it’s fast by itself or this is the 50 MG cable connection that I have)
5. Battery life is amazing.
6. Can read emails and other content without glasses (big issue when you are over 40 and need reading glasses)

Cons:
1. A bit heavy to hold in one hand for a long time.
2. After taking off the plastic protector(I hate plastic covers) and using it for few hours it looks like a finger prints machine (not sexy at all)
3. Can’t access any of sites that require login unless I know the login info. I use roboform to store all the login info for all sites. Since it’s impossible to install outside apps on the iPad, I have to think of some other alternative. Will try to test with online roboform and see if it will work
4. I am always paranoid that I will drop it. I am sure accidents will happen like this one. There are nice covers out there to purchase. I will wait until I know exactly what are the weak spots and than I will order a cover.
5. No camera – mistake on Apple’s part. Camera is essential in my opinion.
6. Resolution – when I enlarge some apps, such as skype, the resolution is really bad.
7. Runs only one app at a time. Can’t multitask – this is a big disadvantage.

Overall, I think iPad will be a hit. I think that Non-tech-savvy people will love it. I spoke with my 72 year old father who can’t get used to a regular PC and does not speak any English and he asked if I think that iPad will be good for him. I actually think that it’s a great idea. He will not need to be worried about malware and viruses, installing and upgrading software and all the rest of the hassles that come with windows.

Conversational Confusion

I recently recommended to a friend of mine, who is typical ‘couch potato’, that she join FIT and start running. She did so, but like everyone who is new to exercise, she wound up with her fair share of aches and pains. This past Saturday, she ran her first six miles, and a few days later, on Tuesday, she was suffering from some severe muscle pain.

Now, this friend of mine is fluent in three different languages, but English is not one of those three. She works from home, and sits down most of the day in order to work. Yesterday, she went to the FIT coach and asked him what he would recommend in order to help lessen the muscle pain that she was now suffering from. The coach replied simply, ‘Ice it down.’ Quizzically, my friend thought that this advice could not be right, and she replied, ‘But, I sit down all day…’ (Say out loud: “Ice it down” and “I sit down”)

The coach missed this, and when realization dawned on my friend, she was too embarrassed to explain it. I got a huge laugh out of it.

I love SoBe LEAN. Especially the Citrus one. It has this special refreshing and energizing taste without the calories. But the only place where you can get is Quiznos. None of the grocery stores, 7/11, gas stations, etc… sell Sobe LEAN. You can’t even buy them on their website. They don’t sell them online. Sobe LEAN’s marketing and sales team suck.
