Help A Great Little Place
Great Little Place is a start up that enables people to find the greatest little places in town. When it comes to places: brimming with character, unforgettable and individual is the order of the day. It’s a shout out for the little guys; the labours of love, the places with some soul, be they bars, museums, restaurants, galleries or just somewhere to enjoy a nice walk. So far they’ve brought together an online Facebook following of over 215,000 fans for different cities around the world to share their finest discoveries (with London‘s being the biggest with 81,000 followers). With their own labour of love being a blog on London’s finer spots, built from suggestions from the Facebook community.
GLP are looking to build the investment required to get a better website, and possibly mobile app, which will make the service better. They’re crowdfunding and asking fans to contribute small amounts, in order to gain the investment required to get our new service off the ground.
As friends of rubbishcorp® (both you and GLP) I urge you to follow the link below and donate a little cash to the project if you can. You’d do it for me, right

Go fast as it ends tonight.

Shaun White’s Secret Halfpipe
‘Last year, Shaun White disappeared from the snowboard scene, holing up in the wilds of Colorado training for what would be the biggest winter of his life. This is the story of his year, the secret halfpipe and one of the most progressive sessions in history.’
Sick.
But dude, that hair? Seriously?
adidas | micoach
Yesterday I finally received the micoach kit. If you don’t already know, micoach is adidas’ real-time-audio-feedback-coaching-system designed to help people get—and-stay—fit. The box contains a shoe sensor/pedometer, a heart rate monitor and the Pacer bit (with is the monitoring/talking bit that feeds back to you as you run). micoach isn’t an Mp3 player, but you can plug it into one so you can hear the real-time coaching advice (along with your music) as you run.
Stride Sensor:
Heart Rate Monitor:
Pacer:
Of course it has an web/desktop interface that enables you to set a plan (including run faster, get fit, lose weight, learn to run or reduce stress) tailored to your ability level and goal. And because it’s based on your heart rate, the plans are flexible: So you can do gym-based cardio workouts or running/walking workouts.
It’s no secret that I am a big fan of micoach, it’s one of the things that attracted me to working with adidas at RIOT. I’ve run with + and the thing I most wanted from that (over and above stats) was to be able to actually improve my running (I’m rubbish obviously). micoach does that – which is pretty smart and pretty helpful.
Test to follow.
