It was a sea of pink t-shirts and fanny packs marching down Market Street Saturday morning (6-21-2008). Over 66 thousand people participated in the race downtown celebrating breast cancer survivors and raising $3.3 million dollars for Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Witnessing the mass of people and tributes to loved ones hit by breast cancer was truly an inspiring experience. The race/walk was about 3 miles long beginning at 15th and Olive Street, up to N. Compton and continued down Market Street to the finish line at Market and 14th Street.

As someone with loved ones who have battled breast cancer (My Mom is 5 years cancer free!), participating in the Race for the Cure imparts a sense of togetherness with so many that have helped friends and family fight breast cancer. For those brave women currently in the battle, I only wish that the Race for the Cure inspires a little hope along their way to being cancer free.

It is estimated that 182,460 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008.

As of June 10th, St. Louis’ Street view on Google Maps is live.  It provides a panoramic drive-by view of a large portion of metro St. Louis on both sides of the river.  From clues around town and comments of others, the photos seem to have been captured from late July to early October of 2007.

The Firefox team set out on a mission to set a Guinness World Record for the most software downloads in a 24 hour period.  At the time of this writing, they have reported more than 7.22 million downloads worldwide.

If you are still using Internet Explorer, I’m sorry.  I’d highly recommend checking into Firefox, a free, open-source, standards-based web browser that makes life easier for web developers by following the rules.
