Three Local Walla Walla Martial Arts Schools Team Up for Haiti Fund Raiser

Three local Walla Walla Martial Arts schools teamed up Sunday January 31, to raise funds for relief efforts in Haiti.

A free seminar was held with everyone who wished donating money to  be sent to the American Red Cross and another charity, in all $500 dollars was raised.

Members of The Walla Walla Academy of Martial Arts, Beginners Mind Dojo, and The Little Dojo enjoyed a 3 hour work shop commemorating the life and art of the late Maestro Sonny Umpad who Bruce Lee’s First Student Jesse Glover likened to Bruce Lee for skill and speed.  Many members then joined for Thai Food and discussion for further fund raising efforts.

How was it coordinated?  Blackberrys, iPhones and the internet provided communication between all the participating schools and members, and the platform for researching the final choice of recipients of the funds.

Google Android HTC @ Sprint in Walla Walla

Two weeks ago we purchased our HTC Hero with Google’s Android operating system from the Sprint Store in Down Town Walla Walla.   Zach Winterton our expert there at Sprint took me through a few smart phone options that Sprint has available like the Blackberry series, HTC’s Windows Mobile series, the Palm Pre and the new HTC Hero powered by the robust Google Android Operating System.  Owning a small business here in Walla Walla we were shooting for a device that would seamlessly integrate with email, calendar, browser, we needed a good camera 5 mega pixels, and it needed to be straight forward to use.

The HTC Hero became for us that phone.  It has excellent sms and email functions, the camera is fantastic allowing us to upload video directly to youtube for promotions, and the integration with Google Calendar is perfect.  So far the only slight concerns have been the touch screen for ease of use which for this user has been no problem small fingers, and we were warned about a short battery life which has been no problem what so ever.

The Android operating system is a very good choice for business and for personal use and stacks up well against the iPhone in all areas that matter to us, and the HTC Hero in particular with it’s SD Memory chip made the decision easy.
