My home iMac houses all of my music, photos, and movies. My company-issued Windows laptop has all of my schedule and contact info, and lots of documents. I chose to use my iMac as my home-base for my new iPod Touch, mainly for the photos, since I was not aware of any sync-able photo app on Windows. (I didn’t look very hard, either. Copying my music to the laptop is one thing; photos are a different ball game). As expected the iPod integrates seamlessly with my iMac: plug, unplug and go. My entire media collection goes with me wherever I go, including podcasts bluetoothed to my car stereo during my 45-minute commute. I have a few simple puzzle-games to pass the time while I’m waiting in line somewhere. I bought the Kindle reader app too, and have now finished a couple of eBooks (very readable to my 5-decade-old eyes).

Finding bridges to my business stuff has been more challenging. Using Google as an intermediary is not an option because exporting business data to an outside server violates my company’s policy. I have not yet been able to find a way to conveniently sync with my Outlook info and work documents without switching my iPod to be completely based off of my laptop. I can get the data, but it involves multiple steps. Part of the difficulty is that there does not seem to be a standard way of transferring info via USB except for the iTunes/iPod sync. Several apps use http transfer via WiFi, but the company won’t allow iPods or other PDAs on their network (viewed as a security risk).

All tolled, l very much like the iPod’s functionality and look-and-feel. All products have trade-offs and this one shows how cleverness and attention to ease-of-use can turn challenges into coolness.
Diamondback Bigfoot Pedals

Over the past 10 years or so, I have bought 5 to 10 pedometers from Sports authority, Radio Shack and on-line. None of them lasted more than 3 months before failing until I bought the Omron HJ112. It is now going on it’s 3rd year, and it does everything that it claims, except that I find that the average battery life is closer to 9 months than 6 (and you can buy these batteries for very low prices on Amazon – I bought 5 Maxell for $2.00). Does everything that it claims – I keep it in my pocket, walk 1,000 or so steps and check the readout – almost right on target – well within the 5% claimed by the manufacturer. Likewise, I walk in NYC a lot where it is easy to measure a mile (20 blocks). Again, almost right on target. Buy this any you’ll probably never buy another.

Im a starting racer. And i know this bike is better than most bikes out there by diamondback. It is very light, considering your age or how good your skill is. it is VERY fast and has outstanding breaks.
Diamondback Viper BMX Bike

mine arrived in a box of good condition taped well etc… very timely which would be a plus. But when I opened and was putting it together I realised a few parts or attachments were missing, but could work around that problem or thought. There were cracks in the tanks and bottom we didn’t notice till it was on and water was coming out everywhere then the nice burning smell was all it took for me to fear the worse. I think someone ordered this it got sent back to factory in worse condition then they intial got it in and didn’t send all the parts back. so I had to have professional come and clean the water the towels didn’t soak up on xmas eve and my kids were afraid to turn on or touch anything afraid it would smell of fire n smoke later too
