Now that I’m almost an iPhone user, I can finally take advantage of the multitude of Apps that help track fitness and exercise.
The first App I’m looking at is RunKeeper. There is a free version and a Pro, but this “review” is strictly for the free one.
The interface is nice and clean, and very well organized. The app itself (not shown in the video) is easy to use. Select the activity (running, cycling , or whatever) and press start! That’s it! RunKeeper tracks your pace via GPS. When your activity is done, press stop, then save, and it is uploaded to the website. Honestly, that’s about all there is to it.
I was listening to an archived podcast of The God Journey and it summed up exactly how I feel about “church” that I thought I’d share it. Please listen and tell me what you think!
What I like most about these guys is how “un-dogmatic” they are. If you prefer a Sunday morning event and want that to be your main way to connect with other people, then go for it! On the same hand, if you feel disconnected with the Sunday morning event and find fellowship outside of it, then go for it!
I’ve been waiting and waiting and waiting…over 3 years to finally buy one. Our finances are in order and the 4th generation iPhone is to be released next week and it is time to buy!
But in comes the corporate bad guy AT&T, changing the data plans, and not for the better. As of June 7, 2010 (next Monday), the data plans change from a $30 a month unlimited data to two plans. $15 a month buys you 200 megabytes and $25 buys you 2 gigabytes. To be able to tether your iPhone to your laptop will cost you another $20 on top of the data plan.
But! If you already own the $30 unlimited data plan, you will be grandfathered into the new scheme and get to keep that plan! So here is where my nefarious (you like that word Bekah?) came into play.
Our good friend Michelle let me borrow her 3GS that she was using as an iPod Touch (thanks again Michelle!!) to activate my new number to get in on the unlimited data plan. She is kind enough to let me borrow it until the new iPhones are ready to sell (hopefully next week). Then I’ll buy the new little bundle of awesomeness, give Michelle her iPod Touch back and all is good!
I’m already in awe of the power of Pandora. Type in “Van Halen” and poof! magically a radio station of like minded music starts streaming to your phone! This alone is worth getting an iPhone for! I’m sure I’ll be writing posts about my favorite apps and what not, so check back in and see what’s going on!
Well, it sure has been a while since I’ve written any original posts, non Lost related!
Today is the last day of school for my kids. I’m so proud of them all! Starting next August I’ll officially have a Junior in high school, an 8th grader and a 6th grader! Good bye elementary school.
I’m sure this summer will include lots of sleeping, swimming and Playstation 3. My goal is to beat Nate and Hannah at least once in Call of Duty!!
Up next month is my second half marathon in San Francisco. I’m really looking forward to participating in that. Running over the Golden Gate Bridge? I’m in! And to get to do that as the sun is rising up over the mountains! Can you say breath taking?
I have lots of yard work to do, but I’m not sure I want to dwell on that!
