Check this out. Apple and Nike have partnered to finally make a device that integrates with the iPod that keeps track of how many calories you've burned / distance traveled while working out! All I have to say is FINALLY! It seems like such a long time ago but, training for a marathon with a Forerunner 201, and a 3G iPod strapped around my waist was a pain in the ass.Notice how in this picture, Steve isn't dawning his standard issue New Balance running shoes, but instead wearing Nike's. What a sell out.

A part of the the song entitled "Empty Apartment" by Yellowcard, frames perfectly how I've been feeling.

Waking up from this nightmareHow's your life?What's it like there?Is it all what you want it to be?Does it hurt when you think about me?And how broken my heart isTake you away from that empty apartmentYou stay, and forget where the heart isSomeday if ever you loved me you'd say, it's okayIt's okay to be angry and never let goIt only gets harder the more that you knowWhen you get lonely if no one's aroundYou know that I'll catch you when you're falling downWe came together but you left aloneAnd I know how it feels to walk out on your ownMaybe someday I will see you againAnd you'll look me in my eyes and call me your friendTake you away from that empty apartmentYou stay, and forget where the heart isSomeday if ever you loved me you'd say, it's okay

Something inside of me is tugging on me. Like a child trying to get the attention of it's parent. That inner voice, is calling me, but I can't understand what it's trying to tell me.

Found a great video of Google VP Marissa Mayer speaking at Stanford. Her presentation is very Lessig-like. Something about her, is absolutely hott.

It's been a little over a month, and I still feel like I've cut out my own heart out, let alone other important body sustaining organs. I never knew this is how it would feel. All I do is come home and listen to The Cure, Death Cab, and Morrisey. Fun times, and with every day that passes, it's suppose to feel better, but it's just more time away. No matter what I do it's like this haunting memory. But then I ponder weather or not what I've cut out is really my heart?

This article describes how Microsoft is going to increase it's investment to something like $1.6 billion dollars, in MSN, and other online businesses. Attention all suits....Throwing more money at a part of your company, for NO good reason doesn't solve any problems. Yes, Mr. Ballmer that definitely means you. How about this, just drop MSN, completely pull out of the online search engine market. Only invest resources in making the "web based" Office products, then take the remaining amount of money and pump it into making an OS/platform that gives consumers/businesses a reason to upgrade! I think Microsoft should take some advice from Guy Kawasaki, "If you make meaning, you'll probably make money. But, if you set out to make money, you will probably not make meaning, and you won't make money."

There are three ways to make meaning:

• Increase the quality of life.
• Right a wrong.
• Prevent the end of something good.

I finally broke down and bought a couple of these Moleskine notebooks. Everytime I go into a Barnes and Noble, I find myself picking one up, but then putting it down. I find the Moleskine Pocket most useful, for task lists. And it obviously fits easy in my pocket.
