My car is a storage shed
For those that know me well, know that I'm a bit compulsive when it comes to keeping things neat. I've kept my car this way for a long time and kept it uncluttered, but (in my old age), I've relaxed a bit when it comes to being neat. Now my car is more a general purpose storage area. I have several bottles of water rolling around (who knows when you'll need water and I've actually used some), a large first aid kit (that's primarily so when I cut myself I can put a bandage on), a hat, and other miscellaneous things. While I attempt to keep things arranged, it really doesn't bother me anymore.

Handsfree car kit installed!
Way back in January, I mentioned that I bought a Parrot CK3100 handsfree carkit for my cell phone. Unfortunately I had to return the kit because my phone kept rebooting the car kit. After hearing about the impending legislation requiring handsfree cell phone talking (car kit or headset), I decided to take another look. I read on forums that the kit now worked with the Samsung A900, so I decided to give it another shot. I went to Fry's (a store I hate, but I knew that they had the kit and I could return it if it didn't work), searched the shelves and found 1 left, but it had been returned (the upside is that it was $10 off). Having seen a brand new one before, I checked the contents and everything looked intact. I also knew that installing the car kit would be a pain, so most people would get intimidated when they saw the directions which gave me hopes that it was never used.

Software typos
Today as I was happily working in Apple's Interface Builder working on some software, an error message came up that made me laugh. You can definitely tell that it never got proofread as it refers to a "header filer" instead of a header file. For your amusement, here's the error:

Training with the Garmin Forerunner 305
It's now been over 4 months since I started using my Garmin Forerunner 305 to train for the Rock 'N' Roll Marathon. I managed to complete the marathon and am now training for a half marathon. At first, the Forerunner was more of a gimmick in helping me train, but now it is integrated into my training. I use the current pace to see where I should be at based on how I feel. By now, I know the distance on most of my runs, so while the total distance initially helped me, it is more now just telling me how much longer until the pain stops! I'm also very interested in my heart rate, so uploading my data to MotionBased allows me to see how I'm doing in trying to bring down my heartrate.
