Christmas Gifts

This year's gift was the fabulous and always entertaining

iPod Touch 16 GB!

In addition received another baseball History Shots, two books (Haiku Book, Outliers, and The Natural), new water bottle, cool globe that when it is dark shows the night sky, book on sky scrapers, Nike running jacket, and some games to include Scotland Yard.

Nike+ Sportsband

My latest gadget.  When Nike first came out with the iPod attachment I thought it was a neat gimmick.  I of course bought it because I am a Nike homer.  Anyway my problem with the whole iPod was it just became too complicated.  I mean you have to get the iPod to pick up the signal, then start it, then find some place to store it, and then finally trying to run with earphones.  It became a real chore and this was new toy is just what a runner needs.  Something simple stupid.  Throw on your gear, head out the door, and you are monitoring.  I am surprised they haven't integrated this with a simple heart monitor.  I think that should be the next step.  A complete integration of heartbeats, mileage, pace, and time.
