For Christmas I was lucky enough to get the Nike+ sensor for my shoe. This ‘talks’ wirelessly to my iPod Nano and allows me to set up workouts according to speed, time, calories etc. The GPS tracks my distance and speed (via pace), and a female voice lets me know when I have run .5 [...]
Posts have been scarce lately what with my camera lens being broken, settling into my new apartment, and beginning graduate school after having taken a year off. I can feel my brain getting into gear again (all of that dust being blown off from the areas that weren’t being used for travelling and working) and [...]

Looks like I’m going to see the Bee Movie tomorrow night. After this great teaser, how could I not? Also, Eddie Izzard was in it, who is utterly awesome. I think I will be content to follow him around in whatever movie he happens to be starring in, especially his own stand [...]
