Need your help raising money to fight Leukemia Lymphoma

I'm incredibly proud to be training to participate in the Honolulu Marathon on December 13, 2009 as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training. All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I am completing this event in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancers, including AJ Utter (the son of my friends Brian and Sarah Utter) and and our team honoree, 3-year old Abby Rogers. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!

Please make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance LLS's mission.

Beers with Brad Feld tonight in Seattle

I admit that my blogging has trailed off as of late. What with Twitter, TeachStreet blogging and articles, and life in general, it's seemed less important to be posting on No Snivelling. But, a good amount of planning went into tonight's Brad Feld event, so just in case I missed any loyal readers, here goes:

Brad Feld will be coming to Seattle and tonight, he's doing an event called Beers and Boulder with Brad. He'll be talking about entrepreneurial communities, the critical importance of entrepreneurship and innovation today, TechStars, what we�ve done in Boulder to drive entrepreneurship that can apply to other cities such as Seattle, and why they're expanding TechStars to Boston. He'll then stick around until they kick us out answering any and all questions and talking with whoever wants to hang out.

I helped organize the event as part of TeachStreet's goal to help people "Learn Something New" -- in this case, how to get off your butt and start a company!

Three great sponsors � Beacon Law Advisors, Square 1 Bank, and Microsoft BizSpark are underwriting the event.

Holiday Shopping in Snowy Seattle

For those of you who haven't seen Karen and I in awhile, here's a quick picture that our friend took of us in her store, Urchin, locate on 1st Ave in downtown Seattle (where we did more than half of our holiday shopping, by the way!)

Happy Holidays, everyone :-)

How old do I look? I think I look 28!

My friend Karen celebrated her birthday today, and we were talking about how old we are, how old we feel and wondering about how old OTHER people think we are.

I know that I feel like I look quite young and in my mind believe that I could pass for a 29 year old, but I'm starting to realize that the world has different ideas. I said, "It would be a cool 'Hot or Not' type service if you could upload your photo and have people guess at your age, and then see how old you actually are."

Well, of course, someone already built this exact site -- check out my page here, and let me know how Old (young!) you think I am!
