Zena is the traveling companion of Mike Mah, a pain management specialist who “practices healing techniques through martial arts.” They visited Learfield in 2006. Mike insists Zena rides on the motorcycle with him, hence the goggles.

Do you need a “website?
My pals at the local yoga center have been asking for my advice on re-doing their website. Since my advice is free, I don’t have to worry too much about it being good advice. But if I were doing this and didn’t have to answer to a committee (or Vishnu) I think I might go in this direction. (Nothing original here, BTW. Regular readers know who my influences are)
Don’t make people come to you (or your website). Take your information to where they are: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, etc.
I like posterous for feeding these social nodes. And it gives you a nice, clean, low-maintenance “place” to park your domain.
What is Google Wave?
Ah, starting to make sense. I’d very much like to try this out. I no longer rely on email as my primary means of communicating online. Google Wave just might be The Thing.
Use text message to report the jerk behind you
Iowa State and University of Iowa football fans can now text university staff to alert them to problems. Like some drunk ass clown sitting behind you screaming obscenities. Or a lost child or something.
They just punch in 97178, then type the word ALERT, before sending a text message (including your seat location).
Hawkeye officials implemented a new text messaging system before the season, in order to give fans quick and discrete access to ushers as well as security and medical personnel.
The texting program is part of a larger communications agreement with Learfield Sports (company I work for) and FanDriveMedia. Full story here.
Top 10 Reasons Chicago Failed to Win the 2016 Olympics
From my friend (and recovering Bush apologist) David Brazeal:
10. IOC delegates disappointed to discover Oprah hadn’t hidden portable DVD players under their seats.
9. Voters perturbed by President Obama’s effort to lead them in a chant of “USA! USA!”
8. US credibility damaged when Michelle Obama expressed her hope to meet “international soccer star David Beckett.”
7. Many of Chicago’s most supportive IOC delegates still partying in Pittsburgh after last week’s G-20 protests.
6. Chicago officials bribed delegates with US dollars instead of euros.
5. Delegates unswayed by promises that Chicago Olympics will “save or create 8-million jobs.”
4. Withdrawal of US missile defense from Eastern Europe swayed large bloc of Polish and Czech soccer moms to support Rio de Janeiro.
3. Voters creeped out by Joe Biden’s pro-Chicago video presentation, praising “northern girls with the way they kiss.”
2. Delegates turned off when American Kanye West interrupted Tokyo’s presentation to say Beyonce really deserves to win.
1. It’s all George W. Bush’s fault.
