Vibram Five Fingers

So I've been researching Vibram Five Fingers for the past month or so, along with the biomechanical aspects of barefoot and in-shoe running. I have a friend here, Daniel, who also happens to Crossfit, who got a pair last month and couldn't say enough about them, so naturally I broke down and ordered a pair on Friday, which got here today. I've only had them for five or six hours, but I'm already in love; I would highly recommend everyone try them out at some point. There's just enough protection/cushioning that you can walk places that you normally couldn't barefoot, i.e. on broken glass (lots of that at Hampshire...), gravel, etc., but the sole is thin enough that you can still feel what you're walking on. These things are super-legit for pretty much every sporting/outdoor activity (although Frisbee is still best played in cleats). But they do look a little silly. You can also get them for free from REI, although I bought mine from there so I can return them if need be. Here's some pictures:

Having looked at some research, barefoot movement is way, way better for you than using shoes. And it feels better. Word.

Canvassing for the Sierra Club

So earlier today I got an offer to canvass for the Sierra Club by this lady named Katrina. She came to Whitman, and after talking to her for half an hour she said she would hire me right there.

I said I'd get back to her in a week.

I know canvassing sucks, but I would get paid$8.55 plus 1/3 of the commissions.

Potentially 10 - 12 an hour 40 hours a week.

Thoughts?

My Europe Blog

So I started writing on my Chile blog again about Europe. Here's the link: hammagua.livejournal.com. I already posted one entry about my plans if you want to check it out. I'll be posting pictures there too.

4-6k summer job

I had Dante in mind when I read this but this job would certainly not be bad for any of us, check it out.

Sierra Club App

This is the video app i made for the best internship on earth thing. It is a little tacky, and the location leaves something to be desired, but whatever, i gave it a shot. If you guys want to boost my chances, you should watch it and leave good rating and reviews. This is what they said in the email they sent me:

"We'll be reviewing the submissions over the next couple of weeks and contacting the finalists before Earth Day, April 22nd. You can check out the competition here (we definitely are -- and we love seeing ratings and comments left by your fans, hint, hint). "

so whatever you guys can put up would be helpful.
