    Gabe Newell on Mac gaming. 

    well, we have this pattern with Apple, where we meet with them, people there go “wow, gaming is incredibly important, we should do something with gaming”. And then we’ll say, “OK, here are three things you could do to make that better”, and then they say OK, and then we never see them again.

    Interview link with Gabe Newell, head of Valve.

    I really wish Valve would release their games on the Mac. I don’t like having to boot into Windows just to play Half-Life 2.

    Podcasts and the iPod Touch, it’s doable. Kinda. 

    It requires a WiFi connection, but all you have to do it bookmark the xml feed of the podcast and then you can listen to any of them on-demand.

    It’s sure not ideal, but it sort of works.

    Concerned about my triceps with the Fundraiser happening on Saturday. Hope they stop hurting.

      You may have over-blasted them, I’d focus on blowing out another extreme group, possibly quads using split-set, pyramids with minimal recovery times, you’ll be totally shredded…..to the max!

      ………..extreme!

      That’s bad advice.

      Not even close to being good.

    New Newton Rumors 

    So, there are rumors swirling again about the New Newton and I’d love to see it.

    Bearing in mind that I’ve only had 2 days with iPod Touch, I can see the value in a larger version of the Touch positioned as a tablet/pda/whatever.

    Most of the missing features I’d like to see are PDA-like, note taking, calendar stuff, email.

    I know I’d have to seriously consider a tablet sized Touch if it appeared.

    CrossFit: Sept 25 

    Max rounds in 20 minutes of:
    - 10 Push Press – 85 lbs
    - 25 squats

    10 rounds + 3 push press. Pics.

    The 85 lbs push press caught up very quickly. The first round was 10 straight, the remaining were broken up.

    iPod Touch in the house [updated] 

    My iPod Touch showed up.

    Utter hotness.

    Gmail works well, Google Calendar and Meebo. WiFi has worked well so far.

    I’ll post pictures tonight.

    [Update]
    I’d like a few things on the iPod Touch:
    - RSS Reader
    - Maps Widget
    - Google Calendar integration
    - Note taking application
    - Gestures!

    Heroes Season 2 Premiere 

    Heroes brought their A-game last night. Oh mama, great episode. I’m looking forward to Hiro’s storyline in the upcoming season.

      I hear you on that one.

      I totally had the Kensai guy pegged as being one of Hiro’s long ago uncle or something….guess I was wrong about that.

      Peter Patrelli in a crate? WTF?!?!

      ps. Why can I only post once every 15 seconds??? And that’s “space cowboy” thank you very much.
