I'm just now getting around to reading Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson, and though I know I'll learn little new from the book, I'll still get through it. John Gruber summarizes the issues with the book succinctly: You could learn more about Steve Jobs's work by reading Rob Walker's 2003 New York Times Magazine piece […]

I vaguely remember watching this. It wasn't as impressive at the time - I remember thinking more that it was odd she was wearing a track suit or something than how well she performed.

First, an image: Now, obviously, during November and December I was still doing the Run5K (nee C25K) program. And in January I started my streak of running one mile, minimum, every day (#dailymileminimum). So that helps. But anyway… I've graduated from C25K/Run5K, and I'm working on building a training program rather than aimlessly running around. […]

I guess the RoadID folks had heard enough about me talking about my 1BandID. They sent me a nice coupon for a RoadID Elite and so I ordered one. It arrived while I was in Florida, and it looks like this: At this point I still prefer the 1BandID. I'm more likely to take it […]
