Here’s a great Wired article about how Nike+ is affecting running, not only with its data collecting features but through behavioral psychology.

The Real von Trapp Family from the Sound of Music

Gee Why Life, Passion music

I didn’t know that the Sound of Music is based on the real life story of the von Trapp family. Yes, there really is a Maria von Trapp (who doesn’t look like Julie Andrews).

Read the history of the von Trapp family and their travels from Austria to America.

Return of the And1 Tai Chi

Gee Why Addiction, Passion kicks, shoes, sneakers

Another serious blast from the kicks past! The iconic And1 Tai Chi is making its return though I don’t like this planned colorway.

I loved my royal blue/sky blue combo with the multicolored laces. And if you forgot, these are the kicks that Half Man, Half Amazing Vince Carter wore when he went nutso at the 2000 NBA All Star Slam Dunk Contest. Oh yeah, the Bulldogs of Fresno State had these as their team shoe when Chris Herren was much loved and hated in the WAC.

Journey from Glee to Arnel

Gee Why Passion glee, music

Finally got around to watching the pilot episode of Glee, and it was entertaining! Kinda quirky with lots of high school stereotypes, but the music was great. Major props for covering Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’.

You can get the Glee cast version of Don’t Stop Believin’ on .

And speaking of Journey, I had to listen to vintage Journey songs after watching Glee. Then I started reading about Journey’s new lead singer from the Philippines, Arnel Pineda. What a story! This vocal replica of Steve Perry was discovered on YouTube and sounds awesome. Listen and watch this Journey concert at Chile, especially Only the Young at around the 6:00 mark. Without the video, I would have thought Steve Perry all the way. Wow.

And don’t forget to follow Glee on Twitter.

What Twitter Is Really About

Gee Why Life, Passion facebook, twitter

Read this short but interesting article about what Twitter is really about.

How Twitter compares with Facebook?

Facebook is for people you know, and Twitter is for people you donâ€™t know and with whom you may share common interests.

How to user Twitter?

find someone you trust, who spends their time discovering and reporting on things you want to learn about and follow their every move. They effectively become a human RSS feed for tons of information you would never find out about otherwise.

Where Twitter fits in with information overload.
