Take A Ride In A Bobsled

February 21st, 2010

With the current 2010 Olympics going on I was curious to see if you could experience a bobsled ride.  It turns out that you can at one of the Olympic parks in the United States.  Lake placid offers a Bobsled experience for only $75.00.  They also have a skeleton experience, but I don’t think I would be brave enough to handle that.  Check out the link below to find out more information if you have ever thought of taking a bobsled ride.

February 10th, 2010

Mat Hester and Brian La Mee have started up a new podcast series talking about exercise.  They just released episode one on both of their blogs.  It is really interesting to hear both of their stories and how they have changed their lives.   It was glad to hear that they were not only talking about weight but also putting on lean muscle.  Stop by and have a listen and let me know what you think.

January 27th, 2010

It is interesting to see new technologies and how they can be used.  CNN has published a video clip with a new camera technology that is pretty amazing.  The clip allows you your to turn the camera anyway you want along with being able to zoom in and out.  The panning and zooming can be done while the video is actually playing.  It will be interesting to see how this technology is used moving forward.  Follow the link below to watch the clip.  Let us know what you think.
