Mine That Bird and Calvin Borel will likely be the center of attention in the 2009 Belmont Stakes, at least until a horse and jockey cross the finish line. If they win the Belmont horse race, be prepared for more of the excitement seen in the 2009 Kentucky Derby, as Calvin has shown he’s full of spizzerinctum. For jockey Calvin Borel (who rode Mine That Bird in the Kentucky Derby and Rachel Alexandra in the Pimlico Preakness Stakes), a win at the 2009 Belmont Stakes would be history in the making, with him becoming the first jockey to win the Crown on different horses. ABC television (with live belmont stakes tv coverage) would be happy about that too.

Or is it National Doughnut Day? Honestly, I don’t know which is preferred. Doughnut or donut? Either way you spell it, they are still yummy. Happy National Donut Day! It’s a long-standing tradition, apparently starting in 1938 as a fundraiser for the Chicago Salvation Army. National Donut Day is the first Friday in June (June 5, 2009) and I understand some national chains (like Krispy Kreme doughnuts and Dunkin’ Donuts) are giving away goods (or offering specials) today. Buy some coffee and you may be able to get free donuts from the doughnut chains, or maybe somebody will buy you one. Either way, here’s some info I rounded up on doughnut shops in America.

The Orlando Magic face-off with the Los Angeles Lakers tonight at the Staples Center in downtown LA, for game one of a best-of-seven series that will crown a champion in the 2009 NBA Finals. Locally in LA County, big black Cadillac Escalades with 40 inch rims, and other LA SUVs and vehicles, are cruising the streets, adorning traditional Lakers purple and gold flags above their windows. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear the same is going on in Orlando (with blue and gray Orlando Magic flags seen on the freeways and streets). Los Angeles is undoubtedly NBA basketball dynasty territory, and Lakers fans are coming out of the woodwork for the 2009 NBA finals.

About to experience their largest turnout of participants ever, the 2009 Stockholm Marathon race runs on Saturday, May 29th. With a unique marathon event, and quite a few top contenders entered in the race, the Stockholm Marathon will be one to watch. It is part of a marathon series that’s been broadcasted live over the Internet, with streaming marathon footage delivered by universalsports.com.

It’s that time of year again, when hundreds of bloggers and tech geeks, converge on the Mission Bay Conference Center in San Francisco, for WordCamp 2009. This is the third year straight I’m heading to San Francisco for the event, and as in the past, I’m rather excited about it. It’s likely a great majority of chiropractors know nothing about WordCamp or even WordPress, but I suspect more chiropractic blogs operate on the WordPress platform than any other blogging platform available. So there’s definitely some chiropractors knowledgeable about blogging and WordPress. This weekend’s event is sold out, and there is an amazing lineup of speakers, as well as attendees.
