Hup and Steph will see you at the 2009 San Francisco Marathon

Posted By Hup | March 25, 2009

Last night Stephanie went out to dinner with a friend from her school in Palo Alto and I headed to a PayPal/Zong party that I was invited to by my friend Tamer Hassanein up in San Francisco with my surfing-addicted buddy, Nobu (he’s awesome). The party was at a really cool night club called Vessel and since it was invite-only the bar was completely open all night and there were these girls that were doing laps around the place and they were carrying platters full of tasty steak and chicken on little, wooden sticks. Of course I didn’t eat before I went, so it was a meat-on-a-stick dinner for me, which I was OK with.

As I was mingling at the party and making my way through the crowd of really, really good looking tech people, I did my normal, habitual quick glance at my Blackberry and more specifically my calendar. Now something that you need to know is that a couple of months ago I installed Google Sync, which wirelessly adds all of the stuff that I add to my Blackberry to my Google accounts (contacts, calendar items, etc.). Well, one of the cool things about this Google Sync is that Stephanie and I share our Google Calendars so that whenever she wants me to be somewhere or do something she can simply add it to her calendar, which adds it to my calendar, which adds it to my BackBerry. All of this happens instantly and it has really done wonders for keeping us both in the loop with all of the things we have scheduled. Yeah, we’re nerds — but it works.

So, as I was looking at my calendar on my Blackberry a couple of new things stuck out right away. For some reason I had new items on my calendar that were labeled ‘3 Mile Run’ and ‘6 Mile Run’ and I wasn’t really sure why. When I moved from my calendar to Twitter on my BlackBerry I quickly figured out what was going on thought – Stephanie had tweeted that we were officially running the San Francisco Marathon (which we just talked about for the first time last night) and she was starting to add our training schedule (that she got here) to her calendar, which then ended up on my calendar, which of course then ended up on my BlackBerry.


This is what I magically appeared on my calendar last night. Interesting..


Stephanie let the world know about our marathon plans via Twitter

With that fairly complicated explanation I guess that all I really wanted to tell you is that we’re now officially running the San Francisco Marathon on Juy 26th and our training schedule begins today. Also, we’re going to be asking for donations that will benefit the underserved youth in San Francisco, which we’ll give you more details on soon.

As always, thanks for being awesome and we’ll catch up soon.

      Interesting… in your description of the event that you gave to me last night, you conveniently left out the meat on a stick lap dances ;)

      Oh goodness… after re-reading, I stand corrected… i accidentally confused “laps around the room” and “lap dances”… oops. Consider yourself out of the doghouse.
