That's one path to Geek Fitness

Season 4 Episode 9

In the spirit of New Years’ resolutions, we focus on the hot topic of how fellow eGeeks can get/stay in shape. Dan and I share some of our tips as well as some of the tools we use.  Please feel free to share your own tips in the comment section.

Craig also found an interesting article from mid-2011 which talks about the top gadgets of the year so far.  We use the power of hindsight to comment on (ridicule) these top choices.

  • Tips to get Started
  • My Fitness Pal
  • Runkeeper
• The Best Gadgets of 2011 – a retrospective of where they are today

Just a little reminder that we will be slightly off our regular podcast schedule because of the up coming SAP TechEd/SAPPHIRE Madrid. We didn’t record a podcast this week because of all the preparations for next week.

Rich Heilman and myself will be at TechEd Madrid next week. We will be recording two live podcasts during the week.  The first will be recorded during the Enterprise Geeks dinner on Tuesday, November 8th. The other will be recorded on the show floor in Community Lounge #7 on Thursday, November 10th from 13:30-14:00. Everyone is invited to join either recording and share you thoughts on the event.  Depending upon the availability of  WIFI at the event, we will attempt to get these recordings posted as soon as possible during the week.

Also a special thanks to Christian Braukmüller for creating the Madrid version of the Enterprise Geeks banner, which we will use on all SAP TechEd/SAPPHIRE Madrid related postings.

Ok EgHeads, its that time again.  Since Tom was the only founding member of the EnterpriseGeeks at the SAP TechEd in Las Vegas, we decided to have the annual TechEd dinner in Madrid this year where we will have at least 2 founding members, Tom and I.  Anyway, we asked for some suggestions, and Martin Lang has come through with a really good one I think.  That’s right, another meat feast it will be.  Join us on Tuesday, November 8th at around 10:00pm at El Rodizio.  Once again, it is a Brazilian style steakhouse sort of like Fogo de Chao, where we visited in Phoenix a couple years back.  You can find directions from the conference center to the restaurant here.  Please RSVP using the registration link here.  This will give us a better idea of who is coming, and how many I should make the reservation for.  See you all there!

UPDATE:  Apparently, it would be better to have dinner just before bed so that all that meat can sit in our stomachs throughout the night with no way to burn it off till morning, so lets move the time to 10:00pm 

UPDATE: Yes, another one.  So we are moving our dinner to Tuesday night, November 8th at 10:00pm to accomodate people who want to attend other events on Wednesday night.
