I am participating in a first-of-its-kind event this weekend in Boulder.  StartUpWeekend.com has gathered a talented group of developers, coders, lawyers, Designers, web entrepreneurs and VC's in an office for the weekend.  The goal, create and launch a fully functional web application by sunrise on monday. 

Heres what were up to:

VoSnap is the instant cross platform social collaboration tool that facilitates

group decision making quickly and easily.  Make tough decisions with your group in minutes on anything from what time the planning meeting should happen, to the best place in town to get sushi.  VoSnap lets you ask the question and get the answer instantly, from whomever you chose using your phone, the web or email.

With my marketing background, I have gravitated to the "Promotions" team and we are working on press releases, social network splash, media kit and blogger resources.  fun.

This dev guys here are truly amazing and we expect to see and alpha by around 6 tonight!  They are also concurrently developing a Facebook app to extend functionality directly into Facebook.

Look out for VoSnap on monday, or follow all the action in real time.

Inspired by the amazing results of my training partner, I got a Body Composition scan last week, and have formulated a goal and strategy for my physical practice for the next three months.

Jasons dedication to physical practice in the last 12 weeks not only resulted in him meeting his formidable goals, but actually exceeding them.   While I had joined him in this practice, I did not have a goal of my own, and was relying on the practice itself as a motivator. 

My own Body Composition analysis revealed encouraging condition with room for improvement.  I have decided to set a three month goal to drop 4.5% body fat over the next three months while maintaining or increasing lean muscle mass. 

Setting this goal will add to the solid support system I already have in place for my physical practice.  I have found that having a training partner is a key factor in a successful training practice.  Much like the buddhist concept of sangha, the training partner offers much needed support when obstacles present themselves.  Setting up some sort of dependancy with your training partener is also essential.  Jason and I carpool, and knowing that he will be waiting for me on the curb if I don't show up has gotten me out of bed more times than I can count.

I have elected to adopt Jasons practice of Interval Training on tuesday and thursday, days when I would usually rest.  Interval training is an intense way to kick up the metabolism, not to mention get in good cardiovascular condition.

In addition to the Body Fat reduction goal, I want to be in GREAT shape for snowboarding this season.  My three month program will wrap up just in time for opening day.  A few epic days on the mountain will be a welcome reward for a few months of hard work. 

so thats where I am with the Physical development.  Journaling it helps to make it real and gives me community support as well.  cheer me along ;)
