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.
Oh, dammit, I tore tendons.
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.
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.
also listening to archived Crossfit podcasts.
Reading the paleo diet for athletes.
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.
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 brought their A-game last night. Oh mama, great episode. I’m looking forward to Hiro’s storyline in the upcoming season.
5 rounds of:
- 10 Front Squat - 75 lbs
- 25 KB Swings - 24 kg

Cech is worth his weight in gold for Chelsea.
Yesterday I said it hadn’t shipped and I just got notification that my iPod Touch is on it’s way.
beep beep.
My pre-order has yet to ship and I have a few concerns with Touch.
1) Lack of Mail application (gmail on the web may work instead)
2) No Google Maps application (google maps on the web may work, but goofy in comparison)
3) Inability to add Calendar events (seems like such an odd thing to not include)
My hope is that Apple will add these in future updates to the firmware.
I’d like to know the reasons for these decisions, but I’ll never know.
