Digital Underground once said, “Well, yeah, I guess it’s obvious, I also like to write.” If you feel the same way then we want to talk with you!

CitySolve Urban Race looking for 30 bloggers from Boston to Seattle who want to tell the world about all the cool and hip happenings in their city/neighborhood.

What we can’t pay you in $$$ we can give you pats-on-the-backs, your name in lights (or at least an LED back lit computer) and possibly a gift certificate from time-to-time.

If you’re interested please contact Jason at jason@CitySolveUrbanRace.com.

This sounds a bit crazy for us Americans. Running through Medellin! Me thinks not! But after reading about the Colombian urban adventure race I definitely have a different perspective on this city. See for yourself.

Saw this on BART. I’ve never heard of John Lescroart. Is he any good? I’m not sure if I trust book ads on public transit. ;P  I’m going to check this book out sometime, but might wait until paperback.

Feb 2/20: CitySolve Urban Race Honolulu

When you sign up by 11:59 pm PST on January 31st CitySolve Urban Race will donate $5 of your registration to Partners in Health. We chose Partners in Health because it has very low operating costs and thus is able to provide more of each dollar donated directly to those suffering in Haiti. Please do your part and donate, even if you don’t sign up for our races. This is a dire matter and needs your help immediately.
