AWESOME kim! I've been just looking through the site and am amazed at all the routes i didn't know about. I'll have to check out MapMyWalk too, I bet it's good for finding short courses. thanks!

Hey Josh - Good to see you catching on to the Map my Run...(walk in my case). I use the sister site, Map my Walk. The arial tracking option comes in handy when Matt wants to go off road for a "short cut". I love that site and have been using it for my walks around town, even the ones that Matt and I took around Barcelona. Take care - Kim

YES! YES YOU DO!! arrrrg. soooo torn. I'm measuring our fireplace to build an enclosure for a flat screen. right now it would have to be pretty thick, but if I wait, oh a few more months, the ultra-thin and OLED's will be more common, maybe more affordable, but man it would be fun to have some HD, blue-ray action right now. must... wait.. a ... bit ... longer. of course, it's neverending. but as soon as 42" LCD/OLED are reasonably priced and around 1" thick or less, I'm buyin' :)

I like to procrastinate on the high ticket items also. I have to ask myself, "Do I really need to spend $2000+ on a tv today?", or can I wait a couple of years and pay half the cost?

I agree Rod, it's tough will all the cool tech and toys out there. I've found that using the power of procrastination on high ticket items helps me avoid buying a lot of things I just don't need or wouldn't use!

The 18 ways to live below your means is a good article. I see so many people who are always wanting more when they could be content with what they already have.

The Sliderocket presentation could have a future if more people switch over to cloud computing.

yeah, don't bend your metal ruler. use a good stiff piece of laminate or masonite. works perfect.

I like the Bench. Interesting it was designed in Alibre.

I had to laugh when I saw the builder recommending to "bend a steel rule" to make the radius. Bent steel rules laying around can't be good.

Cheers,
