Preparing for the 2008 Bay to Breakers

Well… tonight is the big night. I am sitting around with Amy, Joe, Pam and Nick having a few frosty beverages shooting the shit preparing for the 2008 Bay to Breakers. We have our costumes prepared, we have a plan for getting to and from the race course, and now… we are drinking whiskey and lemonade drinks :D Check out the photos below to keep up to date with our progress.

Grilling Oysters, Dear Lord They Were HUGE!

We bought a dozen oysters. They were HUGE! If you have ever eaten an oyster and thought to yourself, “I love oysters, I wish they were bigger so I could enjoy more of this delicious taste”, you didn’t really know what you were asking for. There is such a thing as too big! Some of these babies were the size of hot dogs! Check out the photo set in the link below. While you are at it, check out the photos of our tilapia adventure as well. As you can see on Nick and my faces, we were quite scared of what was going on!!

Nick Produces a ‘Just for Fun’ Video for Mevio

A few of the folks at the office got together and made a video to show the rest of the company at a todays Fubar. FYI, this Fubar is something we have every few weeks for the company employees to get together, have some drinks, enjoy each others company and to spread recent news and new features throughout the departments. Usually a department makes a presentation (and tries to out do the others) and I thought this one was hilarious, but then again, I am a bit biased. It was shot and edited by the one and only, Nick (yeah, my brother). It was just a quick shoot and edit, but it made the whole office laugh.

Mevio Shows & Channels, Now Embeddable!

A new feature just released on the Mevio site is the ability to embed videos, shows and channels found on the site in other locations. I thought I should test it out… so enjoy Amy Mac’s Fit Life below!

I Bought A Bike > Schwinn 2007 LeTour

2007 Schwinn Le Tour Road BikeHere it is, my new road bike. It is a little odd riding a road bike considering I have ever only ridden a mountain bike, but I am starting to get used to it. I have only been out on a few rides, but it is an amazing bike. It is fast and is pretty comfortable.

The goal is to ride this a few times a week (evenings and weekends) until the shin splints go away and as a cross-training tool. The next step is to start riding it to work. Not a big deal in distance (its only 3 miles to the train) but the ride from the train to the house is the tough part. It’s uphill, foggy and dark by the time I get home in the evenings… which doesn’t sound like a safe thing to be doing to me. Not a whole lot of news here, just excited to own the bike and wanted to blog about it so I could remember it when I am old… that is, of course, one of the goals of this blog… to remind me of all of my adventures when my brain gives up on me.
