San Jose / San Francisco trip (teaser)

This is just a teaser... I haven't got my pictures off of Angel's laptop yet.

It was a blast and I wish I would have done it sooner, and I can't wait to go back.

Stay tuned...

Here's 2 to whet your whistle... (via the dreaded cell phone cam)

something i've never done before

So... I'm going to keep this short.

Usually when I go to the gym I ride the bike for 25 minutes and that usually ends up being around 340 calories and just over 7 miles. I haven't ran in a while because when I would, I couldn't sustain it for all that long and it almost felt torturous. I'm the guy that couldn't run a mile, non-stop, in middle school. I'm the guy that couldn't run a mile, non-stop, in high school. I'm the guy that could barely run a mile a year ago at the age of 28.

But last night all of that changed.

ultimate ipod shuffle

A while back, I was getting frustrated with how the shuffle was working or not working on my Ipod. It would favor songs and it would often play stuff that I don't really want to listen to all the time. I started searching for hacks and stuff like that and I found nothing. I did, however, find a site that got me going on this "Ultimate Shuffle" playlist.

Before digging into this, you need to remember 2 things:

• You need to rate your tracks! This is essential to how this works. You don't always have to rate them as they play, but definitely rate them when you plug it in to your computer to sync.
• Tracks need to be played in full! In order for a "play" to count, the track needs to be played in full from beginning to end. I sometimes will fast forward tracks so they count.

So here we go!
