Anybody wanna run with me?

Starting Thursday, Nike is selling nifty running companion called the Nike+ SportBand for $59. It works just like the original Nike+ iPod nano...minus the $150+ nano.

Here's how it works (as the official site explains it):

  • Drop the sensor into your Nike+ running shoe. It sends out a signal with every step you take.
  • Wear the SportBand on the inside of your wrist for easy visibility. Your run data is stored on the SportBand Link.
  • After you run, remove the Nike+ Link and plug it into a USB connection on your computer.
  • Upload your runs nikeplus.com, where you can track your runs. Set goals. Get training programs. And join challenges with runners from all over the world.

I hear Nike+ monitors all sorts of data from your runs. And when you plug it into your computer, you can admire a graphical representation of your pace as it changed during your run. ("...aaaand this part is around 200 feet from my house where I passed out.") That's pretty cool by itself.

But the feature I really like is the ability to share your running logs and challenge people. I think that's some pretty cool motivation. Your running buddies could be all the way across the nation and it'd still be fun.

Sooooo...

Would any of you guys be interested in running with me? I could use a running buddy since basketball is no longer convenient for me. I'm thinking of adding a little widget to the site too so I could suffer from ridicule and embarrassment if I slack off. It could be like our little pact -- run at least 50 miles before the Oregon reunion. :shrug:

(Oh, and no fucking cheating. None of this "I'll tape it to someone's dog and it'll run for me" bullshit. I'm for real, if you are.)

Weekend in NorCal?

Cathy: i would love you guys to come out
Cathy: you could all share a rm or something
Cathy: and we could eat our hearts out in berkeley for aday!
Mel: hahahaha
Mel: that'd be the plan.....
Mel: 1. eat @ berkeley
Mel: 2. see cathy
Cathy: dude
Cathy: no the plan is 1. eat food w cathy
Cathy: ...
Cathy: thats it
Mel: oh.
Mel: yeah, that works too

To all my fans...

Thank you all so much for all the Facebook shouts outs, Myspace comments, text messages, phone calls, IMs, WD40, homemade t-shirts, cheesy drawings of food in a homemade birthday card, cookies & cream ice cream cake, double fudge brownie awesomeness, white chocolate macadamia caramel cheesecake and the new showerhead. My heart is a little warmer, pants are a little tighter and text message plan is a little over.

Seven Sins Survey

It's that time of the year again. 40 days and 40 nights. What am I gonna give up this year? Last year I gave up elevators. But that started to fail when I moved offices and kept getting lost in my new building.

This year, I'll be giving up desserts and other chocolatey, sugary goodnesses. Except for on my birthday, in which case a cake is required.

This is gonna be hard. Especially cuz of Valentine's day and the fact that I'm in charge of buying birthday cakes at the office.

But if I screw up this year, it won't be the first time. Besides, there's a bunch of other sins I've got to worry about. Here I present to you the Sins Survey [via Sherwin]:

Letter Associations

You know the moments when you're talking on the phone and you have to spell out something? It could be your name, street name, an internet address or whatever. But the guy on the other line doesn't know what the hell you're talking about and you're forced to literaly spell it out for 'em.

It happens to me a lot. And I have the fucking hardest time spelling out the letters.

Actually, I take that back. It's very easy for me. It's just completely inappropriate when talking to people that don't know me.

The military, instead of using "A-B-C," uses a phonetic alphabet like "alpha, bravo, charlie." This works great for them...but I go by a much different phonetic alphabet.

Here we go, me typing out the first word that comes to mind for each letter:

  • A as in ass!
  • B as in balls!
  • C as in children!
  • D as in dick!
  • E as in ecstacy!
  • F as in fuck!
  • G as in girls!
  • H as in hoes!
  • I as in incest!
  • J as in jerk!
  • K as in kids!
  • L as in loose!
  • M as in Melvin! (This one really fucks me up... "My name is Melvin. Spelled M....as in Melvin..." :oh: )
  • N as in black people!
  • O as in orgasm!
  • P as in penis!
  • Q as in queer!
  • R as in harrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! pirate
  • S as in secks!
  • T as in titties!
  • U as in ugly!
  • V as in vagina!
  • W as in women!
  • X as in xstacy!
  • Y as in whyyyyyyyyyyy nooooooooooooooooooooooes!
  • Z as in....zebra? :dunno:

Okay, okay, I know exactly what you're thinking. There's something not right about this list...

Zebra?!
