Stepping It Up
I’ve been working hard to mix in some weight lifting with all of the basketball I’ve been playing lately. On a good week, I’ll play ball 4-5 times and lift weights 1-2 times (it’s a start, right?). Last week was…
Month November 2010
Thanks Kelly Kunik!
I dropped my lancing device (a.k.a. my “finger poker”) on the gym floor last week. The cap that goes over the lancet popped off and skittered away. I’m on the side of the basketball court, facing the wall. There’s nothing…
(Also) Guest Posting at DSMA Today
They swear they did not coordinate this, but my guest post for DSMA also went up today (the same day my guest post was published on George’s blog).What is DSMA? DSMA stands for Diabetes Social Media Advocacy. There is…

Roche Social Media Summit – Skeptics?
Just a quick note today. I’m a few minutes shy of heading out to play some lunchtime basketball, and I can’t wait to get there! I’ve got a short week of exercise this week because of the holidays, so I’m…

Fountain Drinks – Check The Box
Fountain sodapop is one of my favorite things. Lots of ice, unlimited refills, and I’m a happy guy. Until recently I didn’t know how those machines worked behind the scenes. I had visions of lots of tubes and hoses running…
Bret Michaels Pays For Camp!
I recently got an email from my brother-in-law. He wanted to share a fun story about Bret Michaels and his generosity around supporting diabetes. This is Tammy. Tammy is married to my BIL’s boss, Jason. Tammy and Jason’s daughter was…

BiG Blue Test! Almost There! 75,000 Views already!
It is not often that an idea can be brought to life with such spirit. This video is a great example of such an idea. Diabetes is something that is often portrayed as dark, sad, and scary (which it sometimes…
6th Annual D-Blog Day
Happy D-Blog Day! For the past six years our friend Gina has coordinated this event, and I always appreciate it. I’m hoping that this year we have even more people joining in than ever. This year we are talking about…
“Do Not Give Up Hope” – Spring Point Project
I recently attended a local ‘Adults With Type One’ meeting. A couple of volunteers from the JDRF have been organizing this group for the last 18 months, though this was only my second meeting. I’m making it a priority to…
Be Part of the CURE
I mentioned recently that I’m doing some part-time work with the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation’s Diabetes Diplomats program. One really fun campaign that launched on Monday is “Be Part of the Cure“. It’s a HUGE photo collage that will literally…
