Ran my first 5K race today...

Posted on February 12th

Back in the summer I jumped back into fitness by signing up for the 20/20 program at the Pro Club. 20/20 is a serious weight loss program that involves both diet change (I'd characterize it as South Beach in style) and five workouts a week (including three with a personal trainer). Well, it has been […]

Universal HD (relatively new channel) is awesome

Posted on February 9th

If you have digital cable from Comcast, including HD service, then go up into the 600's and try to find the new Universal HD channel. Repeats of shows like Firefly, Battlestar Galatica (new series, not old), The Equalizer, Knight Rider... and tons more, all in HD. I watched an episode of Firefly […]

Ever send yourself an email and then click on the 'you have new mail' alert a moment later?

Posted on February 8th

I send myself email... which sounds more pathetic than it is. I just use it as a way to hang onto links or notes to myself (do this, watch this, etc...). I do it all the time. Every once in awhile though, right after I send something to myself I see the 'new mail' pop up on my computer and I click o […]

I stumbled upon the PSP Connect site a few weeks ago, and I've been really enjoying it as a source of video for my Zune. This site, since it is aimed at the PSP, has a ton of great 320x240 MP4 content, including a lot of popular viral videos, movie trailers (of all the upcoming Sony movies for sure) […]

Great Vista Ad

Posted on February 6th

I was telling the folks at work about this one yesterday, my wife and I had been watching the Daily Show when it came on and although we never watch commercials, we silently watched this entire one. We were very impressed... and then the Vista logo came up and we were stunned. Good work on this one, […]

SportsDo - GPS based activity tracking

Posted on February 5th

My previous post about the Nike+ system left me searching for a similar solution for non-iPod users... without a lot of luck, but Mark let me know about http://www.sportsdo.net, which is very cool. This site/software uses any GPS enabled Windows Mobile device to produce some useful info about y […]

Nike+ actually makes me consider an iPod

Posted on February 2nd

If you know me, or read my blog much, you'll probably gather that I've fully bought into the WMA/WMV world. I've always been a bit annoyed at the iPod model of things as well... I mean, seriously, you can only use iTunes with iPods and iPods with iTunes... talk about crazy... people need choice, who […]
