The only issue i see so far is that Google’s Quick Search Box freezes. I switched to QuickSilver…for now

Get rid of that ANT+ dongle. It’s unreliable on distances over 6 feet anyway…you know what else that’s capable of attaching your devices to a nearby computer under 6 feet? A USB cable.

I’m a sad panda. I’m not building another one. I’m just waiting for the new iMac with Sandy Bridge and Thunderbolt.

Obama has stated publicly again and again that he is a Christian.

Which now brings me to my point: I don’t give a damn about Obama’s religion. Why should it matter? It doesn’t…and it shouldn’t.

I hate people. There are a lot of other issues to bitch about and they are so hung up on this.

“You’re going to have to go through this. We’re not leaving this place until we have that tooth removed.”

(Silence)

“Then we’re going to have to stay here forever…”

Hopefully I’ll have the discipline to stick with the training plan.

On the Newton Gravitas: After about 20 miles with them (combined treadmill and outdoor running) I think I’m almost at the point to declare that I cannot imagine myself wearing any other shoes. Although I think I should have gone a half size bigger; fortunately, with RoadRunnerSports membership I can have them exchanged…but I’ll decide after a few more miles with them.
