Some of the folk in the office have been using the BUPA smartrunner app for this and found while the program suggested by the ASICS site was similar, it gave a lot more useful information and less disclaimers. Don’t get us wrong the BUPA app is still great and also useful on the mobile, given that it is an app. You can find it on iTunes here – Bupa smartrunner app.

On the ASICS site, the only issue is the manual input of data. I have a Garmin which automatically updates the Garmin Connect site and is really good, but does not have the planner. If this is to work, I fear ASICS will need to tie up with the likes of Garmin or Polar or both to allow the upload of data, but it still beats a spreadsheet.

The SEO training course is this same one run in the US and also allows you to proceed to SEO certification.

You can register on the Bruce Clay website SEO training registration page and if you are not sure read testimonials from past training attendees. The course has been run in Australia since 2007 and should be in every serious SEO calendar as a must attend. Sorry maybe a little bit of oversell but this course is great, I have attended 3 times and cannot recommend it enough.

Lets get back to basics. Valentines Day, or Saint Valentines Day of even shorted here in Australia to V Day is a day to remember your loved ones and generally send them flowers, chocolates or a card and in certain cases anonymously. You can find out more about Valentines Day history on the Wiki.

The traditional shapes or figures associated with Valentines day include a Heart, Cupid or Doves.

In reality anybody who is selling anything suddenly has a reason why it is the perfect gift for Valentines Day and that you are not expressing your love unless you buy that specific thing.

So we like Roses Only, they do Roses and if you are going send Valentines Day Flowers, they have a good mix and are reliabgle. Finally you get what you see, after having some bad experiences with other online flower shops.

Happy Valentines Day.

You can try the test here, it takes about 20 minutes and covers a wide variety of questions. Your result can then be compared to your state, gender, family, age. income etc. Some interesting facts from the scores:

• Tasmania seem to be the most unhappy state
• Men are more stressed
• Those married or in a de facto relationship are the unhealthy/ happy bunch
• People earning less money scored lover than those earning a lot
• Those with full time work are the most stressed and unhappy

Be interesting to watch where this goes and what they do with the data, as this would allow all sorts of opportunities. Being able to login and check your scores over time would be awesome. Oh, and where is the Facebook page? We scored 55 after doing the test. Not bad, and better than most of you. Sitting in a cafe and blogging, seems to be working for us.

No doubt that in time the likes of Fairfax who have Essential Baby and News, who recently bought Kidspot will want more exposure in this space, not to mention some of the larger FMCG companies also marketing to this demographic of mums with kids of 4 years plus. Not only that, but with all the talk of child obesity and the need to get kids out from behind the computer games console or the computer, the focus on this space is sure to grow. Whether the kids will get out from behind the gaming console or not we don’t know.
