Sony Active Style Headphones

March 30, 2010 Leave a Comment

The blog has been a little light recently – but with a lot of things going on, Holy Week starting…and too many deadlines to need to meet, Pomomusings hasn’t gotten a lot of attention. But since I know some folks who read this blog are runners, I couldn’t help but pass on an unsolicited product review for a new set of headphones I tried out tonight on a run. I had just been using some earbuds for running, and they were working okay, but when I ran the 5K I had many problems with them. The cord was too long and kept getting in the way, the earbuds kept falling out and it was just annoying.

I was having similar problems on Saturday when I went for my longest run yet: 6.23 miles. It doesn’t seem like much compared to the 13 I’ll be running in a few weeks, but it’s the longest I’ve gone yet and I did it without walking at all – which was great. And I was happy with an average 10:30 minute mile for the full run). Anyway – the earbuds kept falling out.

5K Race Completed & 6 Weeks Until Half Marathon

March 20, 2010 2 Comments

Today I ran the Diablo Trails Challenge 5K put on by Brazen Racing. They did a really great job with everything related to the race. This was my first race and I had a lot of fun. It was a mountain trail run which was very different from my training (which has been on all flat paved trails) – and we even had 4 creeks that we had to cross (each creek took about 4 long strides to get across). Aside from the fact that there were some 4-5 middle school kids who beat me, it was a great race.

According to the official results, my time was 27:56. I was 4th (out of 9) in the Men’s 25-29 age bracket and 21st (out of 65) in the Overall Men’s bracket.

Theology After Google #tag10

March 11, 2010 1 Comment

I’m down in Claremont, CA right now for the Theology After Google conference, actually listening to Google-expert Jeff Jarvis Skype in with our conference. This is a conference that is both focusing on new theology and new media (in a world after Google). There are some really great folks down here sharing TED-style presentations on ideas about theology & technology.

Hearing Jeff Jarvis was one of the highlights so far, as well Dwight Friesen, Tony Jones and Jonathan Walton. I gave a presentation last night called “Pomomusings & Beer: Opening up the Conversation for All.” If you want to watch it, you can go here and skip to around the 27 minute mark, and I posted my slides here. It’s been good to re-connect with many friends and hear some great stuff about theology after the age of Google.

We still have a full day left of activities and you can follow the Twitter feed here if you like.
