Rest In Peace, iPod MINI
Thankfully, my iPod MINI still works great. But, Apple is no longer selling them. Its replacement is the iPod Nano. pretty spicy, 2gb or 4gb flash (and 8gb rumored to be coming soon), color screen, and not too expensive. Available now. In related news, Motorola and Apple have also released a new phone, the rokr,…

Attention Dukes Fans!
New York Times had some pointers to cool Dukes of Hazzard cars: ’69 Charger Replicas Pick up yours for about $32 grand. 2006 Charger Painted up like the General Cool step by step pictures. Loved the airhorns! I’d love to have one of the new Hemi V-8’s (either in a 300 or Charger) but with…

My Dave Matthews Band Concert List

July 26, 1998 Saratoga Performing Arts Center August 2, 1998 Vernon Downs July 21, 2000 Ralph Wilson Stadium June 20, 2001 Ralph Wilson Stadium July…

Dave Matthews Band? Still rockin!
I almost passed on Dave Matthews Band concerts this year. Since Ticketbastard has made it just about impossible to get good seats (with their no camping policies, inept clerks in person, and an inept website), its just not worth the money or hassle. Dave Matthews’ Warehouse fan club doesn’t help either (tickets cost even more…

Boilermaker 2k5
Hmm, before I forget the details, I think its time for a Boilermaker 2005 race update. For those outside of the running loop, the Boilermaker is the largest 15K road race in the US. Its held in my home town, Utica, NY. 2005 was the 28th running of the race and my 3rd. The race…

Cool Google Maps Hack
A while back, my pal Larry showed me a cool mapping site that lets you take out a virtual tape measure and measure distances arbitrarily. It really hit the spot for figuring out how far I’ve been running. Today, via Make, I found a Google Maps hack called the Gmaps Pedometer. Using the same awesome…

No Reunion Tour Yet
Via Fark, femalefirst.co.uk reports that Pink Floyd has turned down offers of up to 150M Pounds (aka $262M ) to tour the US. Nutz. Let’s hope that this just a dirty rumor. Keeping my fingers crossed.

It’s Official. Hell has frozen over. Pink Floyd reunites.
Between MTV and aolmusic.com, I got to see Pink Floyd’s performance at Live8. Breathe, Money, Wish You Were Here, and Comfortably Numb. Freaking amazing. Even thought its been 24 years since the last time they all played together, you’d hardly notice. They were very tight and all in very good spirits. I was quite moved.…

Pink Floyd to Reunite
Whoa, big news, ladies and gentlemen. A while back I saw a rumor that Pink Floyd was reuniting to play for the upcoming Live 8 benefit concert. Like most Pink Floyd reunion rumors, I thought it was pure bunk. Especially when they said that Roger would be joining up too. To my great surprise it…

Quick Run Update
Pulled in a nice 14.6 miler on Saturday morning. I overslept and started later than I wanted to; so, I just grabbed a 20oz plastic water bottle because I didn’t want to mess around with one of my camelbacks. Worked out pretty well. No more annoying than a camelback, except a little cramping in my…
