City Bike Tampa.

Stay tuned for details.

Tampa Convention center and final preparations are under way.  KC and I are planning to bring our youngest two down tomorrow morning for some free
Red Bull and possibly a chance to get on the local CBS morning show during the exhibition they are throwing to promote the event.

Flugtag is coming!

The city is expecting over 40,000 spectators to descend on downtown for the festivities that will start at 1pm this Saturday (7/19).  KC and I are using the event as an opportunity to help our closest friends out with some free parking downtown (since we live within walking distance) and our official house warming party now that we’ve been back in town for 3 months.

BTW – thanks for sticking with me and checking back as often as you do.  It has been a super busy summer so far and I don’t see any signs of things slowing down anytime soon.  I do need to make some time management adjustments in order to get more of the things done that I like to do so I can get back into balance with the things that I have to do.  The good thing is that I am getting a lot done and I’m having a great time doing it.

 

 

 

 

 Have a fun and safe weekend!  Drop me a note via comment on this post if you plan to be at the event.

Not just because I didn’t have time to write it, but with all of the back and forth in bidding on our new purchase, then scheduling inspections and making preparations for the move, I was challenged to keep up with everything that was happening around us.

While the past few days haven’t been much better, we have accomplished quite a bit and I was able to catch up on a few interesting things that I thought you might enjoy. Here is the best of what I found in the little time that I had this week…

  • This Week’s Top Pick: Adam Clark from the
    Lance Armstrong Fund posted a
    story about Johns Atkinson, a 39-year old, never-smoker, survivor of stage IV
    lung cancer. John is now one of 5 semi-finalist in the
    Tiger Woods Golf Challenge with an opportunity to play in a celebrity
    golf tournament prior to the 2008 US Open. To win, he needs the votes of the American public. If you would like to help John like I did this morning, you can go to
    Golf Digest US Open Contest and vote for him up to once per day during the month of April.
  • While trolling through my overloaded collection of RSS feeds earlier this week, I noticed that
    Engadget redesigned their layout to offer a content body that is a little wider and a little easier to read than the cramped look and feel that they were sporting earlier.
  • Speaking of blogs needing a redesign for a more user friendly experience…last week, in
    WinningtheWeb’s craziest Internet Contest Ever, I won a customer Wordpress theme from
    FutureROI (a $200 value). Thanks Gyutae and Christopher! Jcyreus readers should see the new look in a few weeks.

That is all I had time for this week. Looking forward, the next 4 weeks should prove challenging to say the least. Considering that it is now mid-April and there was a fresh coat of snow on the groung this morning here in
Wisconsin, moving day can’t come soon enough.

  • I read about then downloaded a great blog composing tool on
    TechCrunch called Zemanta. It works real well for Wordpress bloggers in the way that it integrates with the Wordpress admin console and helps to find relevant news articles, external links, images and generates tags as you compose each new post. You can test drive a
    demo here and download the application for free if you would like to give it a try (Jcyreus recommended).

I hope this weekend is a great one for you. I think I’ll head out for a run to see if I can’t shed a few of those winter lbs before the weather warms up.

4,000 American military deaths later, the war continues.

Here are just a few of the things from the blogosphere that moved me this week:

  • And Finally, The craziest Internet Marketing Contest continued this week over at WinningtheWeb with 4 more clues including
    this one (contest clue #10) recommending that readers join the Bidvertiser network.
  • Part 1 of my multi-part series on how real estate professionals can bring value to buyers in a severely depressed market riddled with foreclosures was published this week. Part 2 is on its way.

Got big plans for the Easter Holiday weekend?

I do, check back or subscribe to my full RSS feed to read about it in a few days.
