Kerri-the Wheaton Terrier
Here are a few pictures I snapped recently of my puppy Kerri. She is a five year old Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. I am not sure why she was sitting in front of the couch looking at us, she looks like she is waiting for something.....
She is definitely all terrier! The minute anyone closes a door, makes a loud noise, opens the refrigerator or digs in a cupboard, she is right there wanting to know what is happening!
Twitter Logosunda Değişiklik
Twitter’ın markalaşmasında başrol oynayan mavi kuş ikonu şirketin olduğu her yerde karşımıza çıkıyor. Mobil uygulamalarından diğer servislere kadar Twitter isminin olduğu her yerde bu küçük mavi kuş logosunu görüyoruz. Twitter yıllar içinde oldukça büyük bir yol kat etti ve bugün dünyanın en popüler sosyal ağlarından biri.
Kuruluşundan bu yana geçen altı yılda dünyanın en popüler sosyal ağlarından biri olmayı başaran Twitter, kendisiyle özdeşleşen meşhur mavi kuş logosunda birtakım değişiklikler yaptı. Twitter markasını ifade eden mavi kuş Larry’nin yeni hali mikroblog sitesinin yükselişini simgeliyor.
Logoda yapılan değişikliği resmi blogundan duyuran Twitter, yeni kuşun tasarımında birbiriyle örtüşen daireler kullanmış. Logonun artık evrensel bir hale bürüneceğine dikkat çeken açıklamada, bugünden itibaren Twitter’ı ifade etmek için kullanılan kabartma yazı ve harflerin yerini yeni mavi kuşun alacağı belirtildi.
Yeni Twitter kuşunun farklılığı eskisiyle karşılaştırıldığında hemen göze çarpıyor. Eski logodaki kuşun sevimli ama çıkıntılı yapısı, yeni tasarımda yerini daha aerodinamik bir forma bırakmış. Belirtilene göre tıpkı Twitter’daki kullanıcıların birbiriyle iletişimi, ilgi alanları ve fikirlerinin bir arada olması gibi yeni logo da üç dairenin kesişmesinden oluşuyor.
Logoda dikkat çeken bir diğer detay ise, eskiye nazaran kuşun yukarı doğru uçan konumlandırması. Blogdaki açıklamada bunun özgürlük, umut ve sınırsızlığı mükemmel bir şekilde temsil ettiği vurgulanmış. eMarketer verilerine göre 2014 yılında 540 milyon dolar reklam gelirine ulaşacağı tahmin edilen Twitter’ın global marka imajını yeni logosuyla birlirlikte sağlamlaştırmaya çalıştığını söyleyebiliriz. Zira Nike ve Apple gibi dev şirketlerinin marka imajında logolarının etkisi bir hayli yüksek.

See Jane Run: Race Recap

First off, I am excited to say that I have a post up over on FITBLOGGER. If you get a chance, please go check it out! It's about running, naturally.
For all that I did have some cons for this race, the actual running of the race itself was pretty good. The course was well marked and mostly flat, there were several aide stations and the volunteers were awesome.
However, the parking was not. I opted to drive to this race, because, although I could have walked (5 miles each way), I did not want to do so and then race and then have to walk back. So we drove. Mr. Lovely came with me and spent the time doing research and drinking coffee in a local coffee shop down the street. We got there with plenty of time to spare, but it took us probably 15 minutes to find parking, which was not very close, probably about a mile and a half from the start of the race. By the time we got to the start line, I had to use the restroom, but it was about 10 minutes to start time and the line was L.O.N.G. I got in it anyway, just to see if I could make it. I did, but the race started while I was inside, so I got out of there fast and ran to the start line just in time to....stop short. The crowd was not moving. Well, it WAS moving, but very slowly.
I crossed the start line and started doing the weave of death. I must have passed a couple hundred people before the path widened to one lane of a two lane road. I started passing people on the left, which was also to the left of the cones, and I got yelled at a few times by the local police (MAM, stay to the LEFT of the CONES!!!) I swear I passed another hundred thousand people but it was hard going. It wasn't until about mile 3 that it started to get to a point where it was easier to find my pace and pass people.
Mile 1: 7:03, Mile 2: 7:05, Mile 3: 7:23
My goal had been to stay below a 7:40 pace in order to get a 1:40 finish, but after the first few miles, I noticed I was going a little faster, so I resolved to stay under a 7:30 instead. After mile 3, there was one girl that was pretty much running at the same pace as me, so I would follow her, then she would slow a bit, and I would pass her, and then I would slow a bit and she would pass me. We did the "dance" for a while before she slowed down to about a 7:40, and I passed her and didn't see her again.
Mile 4: 7:25, Mile 5: 7:30, Mile 6: 7:24
After mile 6, the crowd was pretty thin. It seemed like I could see the start of the pack way up in front of me. At this point we were running along the bay and it was beautiful. I decided that I would try to pass one person each mile, of course at the same time trying to maintain approximately a 7:30 pace. Mile 7, I passed a couple of people. Mile 8, one person. Mile 9, 3 people. I maintained my 7:30, even though it was getting hard. I remember hitting mile 8 and thinking (with my limited math + running skills) that I was almost done, but then realizing I still had 5 miles (5! How did that happen?) left.
Mile 7: 7:29, Mile 8: 7:34, Mile 9: 7:29
Mile 10, 11 and 12 went by pretty slow. I could see the front few girls in front of me. From what I could see, there were three. I passed one during mile 10, one during mile 11 and really pushed to get the one at mile 12 (I was really tired by now)! Thank goodness for two things (a) the view -- I can see the city and the bay and the headlands in the distance, and (b) the spectators -- there are people all along the route cheering. They really lift my spirits. Although my hamstrings are still killing me.
Mile 10: 7:26, Mile 11: 7:22, Mile 12: 7:23
I didn't know if I was first or not. Then I saw her. A girl waaaaay up in front of me. I wonder if there are more like her? Darn it.
Mile 13: 7:19, Mile 13.1: 7:30
I cross the finish at 1:37:17. A new PR.
I look for the race results. They are not posted. The MC says that they are online. They are not. I need to know! Unfortunately, they did not get posted online until late that night. Also unfortunately, there was a hidden posse of girls ahead of me.
Results: 1:37:17
Age group: 5/266
Overall: 15/1432
The Verdict? I ran this race to see if I REALLY have a chance to BQ. I don't want to have unrealistically high expectations when I really need to just keep training and wait until next year. I don't want to let myself down. According to the McMillan Pace Calculator using this race time, I should be able to run a 3:25 marathon. That means 7:50 pace for 26 miles! I am still unsure (read: scared of failure). But I am working on it!
Are you scared to try things sometimes because you are afraid of failure? How do you talk yourself into it or have confidence in yourself during times of doubt?

Yüksek çözünürlüklü duvar kağıdı, geniş ekran masaüstünüzü özelleştirmek için hızlı ve kolay bir seçim olabilir.Sadece masaüstü değilde, blog yada sitenizde arka plan olarak da kullanabileceğiniz ölçüde duvar kağıtları bunlar.Değişikliği seven biri olduğumdan genellikle hafta içinde en az bir kere masaüstü duvar kağıdını değiştiririm; hatta bazen masaüstü duvar kağıdı değiştirme işlemini daha sık
Karşınızda Yeni Tasarımı ile Foursquare
Foursquare‘in merakla beklenen yeni tasarımı bugün kullanıcılara sunuldu. Yeni tasarım ile Foursquare uygulamasının görünümü baştan aşağıya değişirken, üyelerin sosyal ağda daha çok vakit geçirilmesini amaçlayan yeni özellikler eklenmiş.
Foursquare, uzun süredir şikayet edilen ve web versiyonundan geri kaldığı düşünülen (konum bazlı olmasına rağmen) uygulamasını bugün itibariyle yeniledi. Yeni tasarım ile birlikte profil sayfalarında bilgiler Facebook ve Twitter’daki gibi kullanıcılara sunulacak.
Foursquare, uzun süredir şikayet edilen ve web versiyonundan geri kaldığı düşünülen (konum bazlı olmasına rağmen) uygulamasını bugün itibariyle yeniledi. Yeni tasarım ile birlikte profil sayfalarında bilgiler Facebook ve Twitter’daki gibi kullanıcılara sunulacak.
Bunun yanında Foursquare kullanıcıları mobil uygulamalar üzerinden arkadaşlarının haritada nerede olduklarını görüntüleyebilecekler. Bu özellik daha önce sadece web versiyonu için sunulmuştu. Yeni versiyon ile birlikte kullanıcılar sadece kendileri ile aynı mekanda olan arkadaşlarını değil, yakınlarında olanları da uygulama üzerinden görebilecekler. Yukarıda da belirttiğim gibi yeni Foursquare, kullanıcılara uygulama içerisinde daha çok vakit geçirmelerini teşvik etme amacıyla geliştirilmiş. Profil sayfalarında üyelerin kişisel bilgilerinin yer almasının yanında ana sayfada yapılan değişiklikler de bu yönde. Foursquare kullanıcıları ana sayfada arkadaşlarına ait check-inler hakkında daha ayrıntılı bilgiye sahip olacaklar.
Bakalım Foursquare yeni tasarımı ile üyelerini memnun edebilecek mi?
