How to submit a story idea or link to GeekFit
0
Steve and I use to use del.icio.us for our link gathering efforts for the show. I’ve been a fan of reddit for a number of years but I’m more of a lurker then a submitter but I think that is about to change. Today I started a new subreddit called geekfit and if you are a fan of reddit feel free to submit cool techie health and fitness related links and ideas here so we can all share. If we like the link, product or service we’ll be sure to mention it and you on the show!
Marielle Carroccio (Another Update)
Marielle did in fact get her kidney! She’s on the mend and looking great. Read more over at Domestic Diva’s blog at the link below:

Transplants and Shoes
I was over on Domestic Diva’s Disasters reading up on the latest on Marielle (she’s scheduled for a transplant!) and saw her mention NikeID sneakers. One of the hospital staff had a pair with “HEMOBOB” on the back.
What does everyone think about a contest with a prize of some new Nike kicks with “GEEKFIT” emblazoned on the heel?
DJ Steve Boy – PodRunner – OC Podcasters
I haven’t really talked about my involvement in the new media space all that much here on GeekFit. I’m the President of the OC Podcasters in Southern California, the group meets monthly in Costa Mesa and discusses podcasting, new media, social media and all things audio video. Tonight we have a guest that I’ve been wanting to have talk at our meeting for some time now DJ Steve Boyett who does the Podrunner Podcast. I’ve known DJ Steve Boy for a while now, we’d see each other at various LA events and at the most recent one we were talking about the unique way he got into podcasting. Steve has a unique way he got into podcasting and how he runs his podcasts and he kinda went off on his own way of putting his show together. He also pays dearly for the rights to use the music that he plays on his show. Tonight we’re going to have him talk about all of that at tonights meeting and I wanted to tell you all about it.
If you’ve ever wondered where that awesome music you listen to during your workout comes from I invite you to come watch the live stream tonight (or the archive once we release it) over at the OC Podcasters Live site. The live stream start at 7:00pm PST (-0800 UTC), tune in a bit early to catch us setting things up. Also if you have any questions you want me to relay to Steve you can leave a comment here on this blog post or you can ask him in the uStream chat yourself tonight.

Marielle Carroccio (Update)
This just in, well recently anyway. Marielle may have herself a donor after all. The jury is still out, but the tests they’ve run thusfar have come back positive. More details after the jump.
