Race Reunion - Canterbury Invitational (9/22/12)

Big nepxc reunion today at Canterbury. I saw Addis (Camp '11 & '12), Shoshanna (Camp '11 & '12) and Veronica (Camp '12). Addis won the race in 20:12. I snapped some pictures of her accepting the individual and team title, so I figured I'd pass them on. Pomfret [Rachel's team] came in 4th.

Best,

Rachel (Camp '07; Staff '09-'12)

Camp 2012 Reminder Info #5

Speaking of scanning, emailing, faxing, etc., did you know that if you have an iPhone or iPad (ver. 2 or 3) but no scanner then you really DO have a scanner. It's true! With a free program like GeniusScan (there are others, as well, and there are paid versions that don't have the little ads on them), you can capture single- or multi-page documents that can be saved as PDFs and then emailed to anyone. It's quick, easy, and very convenient. The most important tip I offer about this is to keep the camera PARALLEL to the object being scanned to minimize blur. It may take a little practice to get comfortable doing (there are even platform aids to help accomplish this), but this skill is something you may use more and more as time goes on, especially if you want to save documents or send documents to people on a regular basis.

Here's another potentially useful (albeit, non running-related) item: Evernote. If you use this free program, you know what I mean; if you have heard about it, but never explored it, do so; if you don't know what it is, you can learn about it at www.evernote.com (and all over the web). This program stores and organizes information in a way that is accessible on whatever device(s) you choose to use - desktop, laptop, netbook, phone, pad; Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Windows Mobile, Blackberry - and automagically syncs between all your devices. Evernote has been integrated into the workflow of students, teachers, doctors, lawyers, and a broad range of business owners. While it may not be for everyone, Evernote is an extremely useful tool for millions (about 32 million!) of people and would be worth some of your time to explore.

[NOTE: I have no stake in either GeniusScan or Evernote; I just think they are important enough to spread the word.]

Please let me know if you have any questions about camp or anything else.

Run safely and wear sunscreen!
