Just Another Geek’s Completely Useless Blog.
Seriously, every time?
I last put my iPhone on the dock about 8 hours ago, when I went to sleep.
They really need to have a setting or something to do this less often for the applications. Nothing changed on my iPhone applications over night. Not a single thing. Can’t they implement a check for that before beginning the back up process?
Oooooooh! Now we’re moving!
It’s been just over a month since I last posted. It isn’t that I don’t have time, it’s that I just don’t really think about it. A lot of the time I’ll find something really interesting during my work day but by the time I get home it has made the rounds so much I’m tired of hearing about it and don’t feel like writing about it. The big problem is that blogging is sort of frowned upon from my work computer and blogging from my iPhone is a little rough over EDGE and the iPhone-friendly Wordpress admin plugin I installed. There is some pain involved with typing out links and such with two or three fingers. Then there is the fact that there is no copy and paste. I’m hoping there winds up being a free Wordpress blogging application in the App Store soon. That won’t resolve the typing long entries issue or the copy and paste issue, but it will resolve the web interface issue and might make other things easier.

Sphere: Related ContentI had a good long weekend. Friday was my off day so I spent the first part of it goofing off at home and getting some cleaning done. Then I headed up to Baltimore to meet Elizabeth and head to Delaware where we crashed before heading up to New York. I got a chance to see my grandparents for the first time in like… 8 years I think? We only met for lunch but it was nice to see them. I miss them again already and I hope I can get up there again much much sooner than 8 years from now. The rest of the long weekend was nice as well, with camping, a birthday party for an awesome lady, good conversation and lots of kids who are always entertaining. :)
On Monday, we headed south again. We were going to stop at Four Quarters to set up our campsite for Gaian Mind Summer Festival in June, but it looked like rain so we took a different route that didn’t take us through there. It turned out to be gorgeous weather, but not stopping probably worked out for the best given the time we finally got back to Baltimore. Along the way, we stopped at an outlet mall and I picked up some running shoes; a pair of Nike Air Zoom RS+ (not the color pictured). Unfortunately, the Nike+ system doesn’t work with iPhone (yet)so I’m hunting a cheap iPod nano to use in the mean time. I’m basically trying to leverage my love for gadgetry and generally geekiness into motivation to get into running. I like the virtual coaching and community aspects of the Nike+ setup. With the probable GPS built-in to the iPhone’s next iteration I can see some good opportunities there.
I’m doing the Couch to 5K program, and I did my first training session tonight. It went well so hopefully I’ll continue down that path and get the nerdery going as well. It seems to be a solid program for getting folks like me who have never been into running to get into it and continue without burning out from starting too fast. I’ll keep blogging my progress. I have a good feeling about it. Already, the running shoes have completely eliminated the shin splints I normally get. I have some soreness in my calves but nothing that stretching won’t fix.
Anyway, it is getting late but I wanted to make a non-political post for a change. Now to clear the laundry off my bed, make some tea and have some yogurt and possibly a few chapters in a book or something before crashing
