I just contacted the <a href="http://www.cnw.org/" rel="nofollow">big local running club</a> to see if anybody knows what's up with this or see if I might get that ball rolling. Sorry for confusing Barbie and Cindy... Great idea. I just contacted the big local running club to see if anybody knows what’s up with this or see if I might get that ball rolling.

Sorry for confusing Barbie and Cindy…

Barbie is a *highly* protected trademark of Mattell. I'm surprised you haven't been sued for misuse yet. (FYI--It's a Cindy doll. If she were a real person, I think she'd actually be able to stand up (unlike Barbie).) (2) Since you've got time, why not campaign for some kind of standardization of chips that are used in Seattle? On the east coast, if it's chip timed, everyone uses Champion Chip. As you know, once you get a "tipping effect" where most races/people use one kind of chip, everyone else will likely following suit rather than get left behind. It might cut into your daily-blogging time or hanging-out-in-coffee-shops time, but you accomplish something the Pacific Northwest could thank you for. (1) It’s not a Barbie.
