Wednesday, June 13th, 2007

The Virginia Beach Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon to be held on September 2nd, 2007 is sure to close out soon. An estimated 20,000 runners will take part in the 13.1 mile race held on Labor Day Weekend but at the moment there are still slots available. As an incentive to sign up for the […]

Technorati Favorites Exchange: An Interactive Experiment

Wednesday, June 13th, 2007

In my never ending quest to drive extra traffic to this site, I found a great post over at the “Make Money Online The Quick and Easy Way!” blog today called Want To Get Faved?
In typical cymru66 fashion I decided to jump in head first and join the experiment. Actually, I’m probably a little late […]

Another FIRST Training Run

Wednesday, June 13th, 2007

Last night I tried another key workout from the FIRST Marathon Training Plan (full details of my run here).
The Run Less, Run Faster book seems to be getting rave reviews everywhere. I guess the appeal of improving your race times by running less is VERY appealing - I know it is to me!
I’m only part […]

Get Slim For Summer: 10 Great Calorie Burners

Tuesday, June 12th, 2007

It looks like the warmer weather is here to stay, which is the cue for many people to spend more time outside.
As many regular readers of this blog already know, I’m an avid runner. I don’t think twice about exercising outside all year round, but quite understandably, most people wait for the nicer weather to […]

Monday, June 11th, 2007

Today saw the release of the public beta of Safari 3.0 for Windows (available for download here).
However, just hours after Apple released the beta, researcher Aviv Raff said he’d found a bug.
Bad news for Apple or just geek talk?
Raff said it took about three minutes of “fuzzing” to find the bug. To be fair […]

Improve your Rankings and Google PR with ViralTags

Monday, June 11th, 2007

I recently jumped onboard the Viralink Train with the aim of generating extra links to cymru66 and increasing my Page Rank. However, I’ve since read that Viralink, as effective as it was, is flawed with the use of “stars only” anchor text, despite this being the simplicity of it. Another benefit of course was all […]

Push Ups: The Quest for Strength Week 3

Monday, June 11th, 2007

Before starting Week 3 of the Push Ups Quest for Strength plan, I had to complete another “exhaustion test”. In layman’s terms, this means doing as many push ups as you can to determine which column of exercises to follow for the next 2 weeks. I took the test yesterday so I’d be able to […]

New Guinness World Record: Most MINIs/Minis in a Parade

Sunday, June 10th, 2007

About a month ago I posted about an attempt on a Guinness World Record for the most MINIs in a parade to be held in Virginia Beach, Virginia on June 10th. The current record, held by a group in Blackpool, England, stands at 269 and event organizers were hopeful for a convoy of 300 vehicles.
Registration […]

Sunday, June 10th, 2007

Ever wanted to create one of those cool photo collages that seem so fashionable at the moment? Many people think you need to be a wizard in Photoshop to create something similar to the collage on the left (click on the thumbnail on the left for a larger image, or “right-click, save as” here to […]
