JP on local TV at fitness convention
Every year our city's marathon has a two day health and fitness expo, in which I take part in some capacity. This year I was doing computerized gait analysis using my Motion DNA equipment, and one of our local TV stations did a brief spot on me. (It's about a minute or so in)

That was pretty cool! I was expecting a little 5-second blurb -- you got some serious air time!

You attention whore! 
Hey, word on the street is that you are going to start using that technology in the Little Rock brothels and call it e-motion DNA.

They didn't ask you to do the spot shirtless to show off the abs? 
Just kidding - good stuff. |

Thanks. You can actually read more about it down in the Motion DNA subforums. They don't get a lot of traffic at the moment, but if you post some questions about it you will surely get some response from both me and Zig (the guy who turned me on to this technology).
