I have removed the last post I did because it was not a reflection of who I am. Sorry to anyone that read it.

Palm marching out a happy half dozen?

PreCentral says that 5 to 6 new devices are planned for 2011.  That's a pretty safe assumption either way since HP has already said they will put newly acquired WebOS on a number of new products and in different form factors.

My guess is that after the Pre 2 we will probably finally see a slab-styled device like the Samsung Galaxy S phones with a virtual keyboard and large screen.  From there a slate, which has already been rumoured and discussed, followed by...who knows what!  An updated Pixi will show up, but not too sure where strategy will put that in the mix, timing-wise.

All told, it will be an interesting year for WebOS in 2011, whether that means profitability and long term success, who knows.

I'm back!

Ok, I've changed my mind AGAIN!  I am back on Posterous, at least for now.  While I was able to set up Blogger with ads I am not getting enough views to make money at it anyway and probably won't post enough to create the traffic.

Posterous just makes it dead simple to post a thought or picture or whatever and have it cross-post to many places.  Simple is good...for me...

Bye bye Posterous!

I've decided to move my blogging to Blogger.com.  From what I can see, that is the only site that allows Google's Adsense on a free blogging account.  I'm all for free, so here we go!

Ok, I'll stop after this one.  Last shot from the Vibrant while coming back from Niagara on Saturday.

Another natural effect a love...

Anyone else love seeing the contrast between a cloudy backdrop and sun-lit subject?  I think it looks fantastic!

Especially glad to have a phone with a great camera to be able to capture these kinds of moments. (Samsung Vibrant again)

I'm a Sucker for Autumn Colours!

I love fall colours.  Well, who doesn't.  Anyway, here is a nifty shot as seen through the lens of the Samsung Vibrant.

Pictures from today (iPod touch 4G)

The camera on the iPod touch is only 0.7MP so you won't catch lots of details but the shots come out pretty good.  Low light pictures are horrible, but you can see here that with good lighting results are decent.

Couch to 5k in 90 days?

Tired_runner1

Sure!  Why not!

Carolyn and I have decided to take on the Couch to 5K challenge and started running last week.  Man, it's been WAY too long since I ran anywhere (car is faster...) and my legs certainly felt it.  With the program you start by alternating between jogging and walking and move up from there.

The day after our first run/walk was...interesting.  My quads (which are more like monos at this point) complained all day about having to hold up my bulk.  I promised them I would ease their burden...somehow.

Actually, rather than running tonight we walked about 8k.  Ok, there was a short stop over at Tim Horton's at the 4k mark, but we still walked 8k, so shut up.

Walking that distance felt like a breeze compared to the run/walk of 3k.  Ya ya, it'll get easier, but for now I am going to complain a bit.

I've been having a few weird feelings in my chest recently, so I have been to see the doc am and having things checked out, but so far everything looks fine.  It's probably the stress of deciding what to watch on TV this fall.  "What?!  No Heroes or Lost?!!"  Since things checked out fine with the ticker we figured we should get out there and get in shape.  Being 40 shouldn't feel so old. ;)

Ok, back to my ice packs, A535 and Tylenol!!  Cya!
