Heat wave over? Is it safe to go outside?

It looks like the heat wave finally broke here after a few weeks of 90-100F temps. With the heat, family in town and a brief vacation to Disneyland, I really got off track with my running.

It was nice to get back out there this evening, even though I didn’t meet my normal 3mi goal.

New iPods announced; new Nano on the way

Apple today announced their complete new line of iPods, including a whole new 3rd-generation Nano, updated iPod Classic, and a new iPod Touch which is basically the iPhone without the phone. They also dropped the cost of the 8GB iPhone by $200 and discontinued the 4GB iPhone (good move). This should make the decision for a lot of people to cancel their contracts and move to the iPhone/AT&T a whole lot easier (ahem, Mike!)

Amazing technology… glad I skipped a generation of Nanos so I can get the new one with the video screen.

The new Nano also works with the Nike+ sport kit, so this is a no-brainer for me! I can use it for my running, and have an extra video player and gaming machine around which is key for my kids. They seem to monopolize my iPhone when we’re out… so this solves that problem too! The 8GB black Nano is ordered.

Padres vs. Diamondbacks

I had the opportunity to go to the Padres game last night with Frozone and his boss, Kevin. The Padres won and best of all we got to watch the game from the very plush McMillin box off the 1st base line. Free food and beer!

NFL Mobile

I found a direct link to NFL Mobile, for those of you who want to get at Sprint’s offering:

That link doesn’t work from a PC, so don’t bother clicking.

I went there from my Verizon Motorola Q and it works great.
