WalkJogRun on Fox News

I'm delighted to report that WalkJogRun was featured on Fox News two days ago for the Cool Websites section after I tipped off Nancy Loo about the site.  I was surprised in her coverage when she said she had already featured the site at one point but I missed it I guess.  This time I was prepared and have my first YouTube video up now.  I know, I'm probably the last person in the tech world to do this but this is the first thing I felt was worth it.

For anyone who hasn't read anything about WalkJogRun, it's over 3 years old and is a community for runners, cyclists, walkers and anyone else to create and share routes.  It is based on Google Maps and uses custom AJAX, ColdFusion and is built on BlueDragon 6 with MySQL on an Ubuntu server.

  2. Congrats Adam! I should email her about GoPats.com, though I suspect it may not make it.

  3. Ha. Pats. Hope it's Bears Pats in the superbowl again so we can show you another 43-10 ;-)

  5. One game away from a Bears Pats Superbowl if it all works out. 43-10 is quite a memory to erase...

  6. Actually, it was 46-10... it's tattooed on the inside of my brain. :)
