FYI – there is a CHI 2007 flickr photo pool but for some reason, it isn’t showing up in flickr search results. If you’re attending CHI, post your photos there so that we’ll have one central place. I’m uploading my photos from the first day of the conference right now (yes, this very moment).

About two weeks ago, I started a beginning running program that I had found online. The first two weeks are pretty basic – alternate between running and walking for 30 minutes (1 minute run, 1.5 minutes walk, repeat). When I’ve had extra time this past week, I’ve been doing an hour of this run/walk routine, mostly because I’m now used to working out for about an hour and a half hour usually doesn’t feel enough. This morning, I was at Club One for my usual two-hour Saturday workout – an hour strength training class and an hour cardio. When I finished my hour of running/walking, I walked over to the functional training area to do some stretches. There was another woman doing some exercises with a medicine ball. As I was doing my stretches, she approached me and started telling me about how she was watching me when I was running. She said that I “inspired” her! She wanted to know how long I was on the treadmill and how long I’ve been running. I’m like, “Umm, I just started two weeks ago.” She also wanted to know if there was a trick to staying on the treadmill for that long. I didn’t really have any good advice for her, other than having a mini goal (only running for minute and getting rewarded with 90 seconds of walking) seemed to be helping. I’m not sure I was much help to her but she really made my day!
Who knew, me, inspiring someone at the gym? :)
It’s April 1st and here are the online hoaxes I’ve found so far:

Google creates a wireless service that works through your toilet
Have you seen anything else?
update: checkout Gmail Paper, via O. (this is perhaps my favorite so far)

09.) your mortgage
08.) your rent

06.) how you can’t imagine living anywhere else other than the City
05.) an extremely detailed description of your highly-technical job
04.) baby names
03.) your mortgage
02.) how could anyone live in the South Bay?
01.) why haven’t I thought about moving to the City?
