Treadputing, is it in your future too?

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

Pretty much everybody who knows me has heard I’m walking 40 miles in July in the Avon Foundation’s walk for breast cancer research and treatment. (Have I asked you to donate yet?)

Anyway, the biggest challenge has been wedging training time into my schedule. We bought a treadmill so we didn’t have to go to the gym, but still, not enough time in a day.

A friend sent me a link to this site and it was an easy jump to see how we could be using our multi-tasking skills. After a lot of insanely complex design concepts, in the long run we ended up with a shelf across the arms of the treadmill with some 2 inch pvc piping to secure the shelf in place, a $50 wall mount for a monitor, and it was all set. We can switch out laptops when we want to work on specific projects, or just leave the “spare” plugged in for whoever wants to walk-n-surf.

Treadputing

Beyond the obvious gains in weight loss and fitness, this has turned out to be a block of time that I use to catch up on social networks, read rss feeds, do research for clients or upcoming personal projects and catch up on the latest in coding. I’ve added a couple of new tools to my browser to make life a little easier. Diigo is a bookmarking service that allows me to bookmark, highlight or share content online, and I can access and search these items from any computer or on my iphone.

Twhirl lets me keep up on what my friends and colleagues are up to while I’m working, but doesn’t take up too much space on the monitor. Stumble is for just surfing for inspiration, art or tools.

Intrigued? Do it yourself, and take your inspiration from some more examples. or spend the 4K for a Steelcase Treadmill Workstation…

Tatu Digital Media is pleased to launch a website for the Willow Glen Team in San Francisco’s Avon walk (July 12, 123, 2008). The team will walk a total of 40 miles over 2 days in San Francisco and Marin to raise awareness and funds for the Avon Foundation.

Why a blog?
The obvious advantage of using WordPress in this case is to take advantage of the social media distribution and tagging of WordPress, the installed some nifty SEO tools to get the word out even faster. With only a few months to raise over $20,000 the team needed to use every avenue for press possible. They also needed a place to keep track of training hikes and fund raising events, and to send possible donors to to learn more about the team.

The ease of posting to the blog with Wordpress was an added benefit, and we added some custom features to add to the user experience.

What else?
Beyond the blog we created a Flickr account for the team’s photos and a e-list just for the team so they could arrange to meet for walks, talk about training strategies and generally get to know each other.

You can donate to team members on the website or join them and walk with them! Visit the website at www.bestofwillowglen.com/avon/
