Hola Internets! Thanks for logging in.
I will get back to exercise-related technology when we get back from Christmas break.
In the meantime, I'm giving you an imaginary $200 to spend on any technology-based product that you would like. You have to use all of the money . . . you can't tell me you'd spend $50 and then keep the rest. Use any website that you'd like to shop at.
Come back here and post a link to the site, tell me what you'd buy and how much it costs.
Example:
From bestbuy.com
Wireless optical mouse - $36
Logitech G15 gaming keyboard - $100
From zipzoomfly.com
Corsair Survivor Pen Drive - $34
Maxell 16x DVD+R (tower of 100) - $29
TOTAL: $199
You must do this to receive blog credit this week.
Have a wonderful Christmas break! Everybody stay safe!

Blog 14 - 12/07/09
Hello Internets! Thanks for logging in!
In anticipation of the coming New Year when many people vow to take better care of their bodies, I want to spend the next two weeks talking about high tech fitness gear.
I have a running buddy who has Nike + shoes that talk to her Ipod. They send her Ipod information about her workout . . . how far she ran, how many calories she burned, etc. Somehow this system also allows Lance Armstrong to come through her headphones occasionally and tell her what a good job she's doing. To which I say . . . (!)
Does anybody here own those? If so, please tell us about them.
Maybe I'm missing the boat here, but I don't think I want my shoes talking to my Ipod. I think I like the relationship between my electronic possessions to stay isolated, thank you very much. What if the shoes and the Ipod start talking ABOUT me behind my back?!?
Shoes: Ya know, she skipped her run this morning . . .
Ipod: Yeah, I figured that when I didn't play her run mix.
Shoes: I think she's been slipping a bit lately with her workouts.
Ipod: I agree, she just doesn't seem as pumped as she used to.
Shoes: Hey let's ask her scale if it's seeing a weight increase lately . . .
I'm gonna have to go ahead and pass, thanks.
So let's read about this technology a bit this week. Tell me what YOU think about it. Do you use it? Would you use it? Can you see it's purpose? Where might this technology be going? What's coming next?
