Weird Mon w/a pair of Dr's appts serving as book ends; watched class video w/Puggles in PM, Office on TiVo w/Ash, now reading before bed.

Got my evening project planned! RT @google: Push Gmail comes to Google Sync for iPhone and Windows Mobile http://bit.ly/1137UB
12:24 PM Sep 22nd from Tweetie
Spent evening w/a conference call for school (impressed by GoToMeeting functionality), House on TiVo, then Gmail Push setup & reading.
9:47 PM Sep 22nd from Tweetie
Just discovered I get access to ESPN360.com as a Comcast customer; I'll have to test this out for the Auburn football game on Sat night.
8:41 PM Sep 23rd from Tweetie
Ordered my cap & gown for Dec today...end in sight! Knocked out school work in PM, then spec'd out my soon-to-be-built Windows 7 box
10:06 PM Sep 23rd from Tweetie
@RyanDurham Good call...ESPNU is awesome, especially w/the new ESPN/SEC deal. Great news that we may get to see you down south again soon!
9:53 PM Sep 24th from Tweetie in reply to RyanDurham
Grump-a-potamus for much of the day, although in better spirits now; swung by our new house in PM, & grabbed more software from IEEE MSNDNAA
10:27 PM Sep 24th from Tweetie
First iPhone MMS test? My recipient received the image twice. AT&T: double the pleasure, double the fun!
1:00 PM Sep 25th from Tweetie
Man, AT&T's network must be struggling after flipping the MMS switch; txts to my GVoice # are hitting Gmail 5 minutes faster than my iPhone.
9:17 PM Sep 25th from Tweetie
Well that's new. Looks like they've added the Yahoo logo to the bottom of Flickr's logo on the home page: http://twitpic.com/j5etv
9:23 PM Sep 25th from Tweetie
iPhone + BeejiveIM/Google Talk is awesome. It's almost like Google Voice SMS in reverse, since the other person can use THEIR full keyboard.
9:44 PM Sep 25th from Tweetie
Tons of testing today @ work; home @ lunch to meet deck refinishing guy; met Ash @ new house in PM, then took her out for dinner @ Rico's.
9:45 PM Sep 25th from Tweetie
Awesome, just discovered that Ch 55 here in Houston has SEC Network games (like the old Jefferson Pilot / Raycom Sports).
11:11 AM Sep 26th from Tweetie
Just bought my alumni tailgate & game tickets for the Tulane vs Rice game here in Houston in November. I love college football season.
11:22 AM Sep 26th from Tweetie
Testing out ESPN360.com for the 1st time on the LSU vs MSU game. Seems to be about a 90 second delay b/t real-time & streaming...not bad!
11:24 AM Sep 26th from Tweetie
@rgremill It's on Channel 55 on Comcast Houston.
11:26 AM Sep 26th from TweetDeck in reply to rgremill
Just watched the entire Auburn game for free in near real-time on ESPN360.com without a single streaming hiccup; technology is awesome. :-)

@dudesy916 Make sure you've got plenty of upstream bandwidth @ the site where you install the Slingbox! Also, ISP may require port tweaking.

11:19 PM Oct 1st from Tweetie
My Sprint data card speeds are so much better at my house than at my office. Ideally, that would be reversed. :-)

JW / Electronica Classics 030: John Digweed Live at Pawn Shop WMC 2007
The Electronica Classics series underwent a tad of a hiatus the past month or two, as I've been wrapped up with a house move & a bit of a medical bout culminating in back surgery. It's that last piece that's led to this week's musical selection.
Since 2000, I've run more miles listening to John Digweed albums and live performances than any other artist. With my back injury, I've been unable to run and it's made me realize just how much value I place on putting on my Nikes, strapping on my iPod, and then heading out to run a few miles while listening to Diggers.
This mix I've selected today is the one I had on my iPod when I ran my first Crescent City Classic 10K race in New Orleans post-Hurricane Katrina. I find it has a song progression that lends itself very well to a 10K pace, with upbeat tracks hitting at just the right time. Of particular note is the track that starts building around the 40 minute mark and peaks some six minutes later.
I encourage you to give it a shot the next time you go out running. Hopefully I can do the same within the next 8 weeks or so!
