What is it that people are chattering regarding chiropractic care? Ever wonder what’s going on in the stream of various Internet conversations? I like to take a peak now and then to get a glimpse of what’s being said as people go about their daily activities. If you’re expecting text messaging like: OMG my chiro taught me about TONE. 1895 so ROX! or: SubLuxAtion Removal Time :O off to DC you may be disappointed. The local chiropractor may not be in your Fav 5 (they should be!) but that thing often referred to as a spinal adjustment (not by patients) is certainly a topic of conversation.

There’s been much discussion the past few weeks regarding the micro blogging service Twitter as a real time search engine. While the debate continues (I say it’s a human powered search help tool) I’ll keep “searching” the real-time events I’m interested in. For me, Twitter has become the first place I go to find the latest up to date information, and a runners marathon in Pasadena, CA, provides an excellent localized example, of why I love it so much.

A crowd of over 8,000 runners, walkers and cyclists will hit the streets of Pasadena, California, Sunday morning to compete in the 2009 inaugural Pasadena marathon, half marathon, bike tour, 5K and fun run/walk. The 26.2 mile full marathon and 13.1 mile half marathon will begin at 6:30 a.m. in Pasadena, CA. Weather forecasts show a 70% chance of precipitation and possible thunderstorms, but race events will continue rain or shine.

From the Tournament of Roses Parade to the day before the 2009 Super Bowl (SuperBowl XLIII), this month of January is packed full of activities, events, and news happenings, some that will shape year remaining months to come. I’ve organized a summary of happenings for the month along with resources for those seeking details on specific topics. Best of health to all of you and hope you are enjoying the new year so far.
