Nike+iPod (Nano)





This looks to be the most amazing combination that I have seen in a long time. Ok maybe the Mac move to Intel was good but this is amazing. I love it because I love sport and studied Sport Science at University. What an amazing way to use your iPod!!!!




It has a wireless module on the bottom of the iPod Nano that reads the info from the sensor in the shoe. You can then sync your information with iTunes and NikePlus and get analysis of your workout. Go to http://www.apple.com/ipod/nike/ or http://www.nikeplus.com/ for more information.

I was absolutely horrified when I read this article from 'The Consumerist' website:

One detail that we missed in the on-going Bausch & Lomb eye fungus scandal is that the Health Ministry of Singapore had reported several cases of a corneal fungus since November 2004. Commonality between sufferers? Bausch & Lomb’s ReNu with MoistureLoc Multi-Purpose Solution for contact lenses.

Still, because the ReNu formula wasn’t currently causing American customers to go blind, Bausch & Lomb decided to just ignore the problem. Which, as we all know, has led to 109 people almost going blind as their eyes are replaced with a socket full of itchy, flesh-eating fungus.

What was Bausch & Lomb’s justification for ruining the lives of people who put their trust in them? According to B&L, they didn’t feel they needed to initiate an American recall because the Singapore solution was made in a different plant

God, we hope these scumbags get taken for billions in the upcoming class-action lawsuit.

New Japanese Red Maple Bonsai

Well for Bank Holiday Monday we bought a new bonsai. It completely dwarfs my original birthday bonsai, by a good 8 inches. The Maple is called 'Chokkan Dai', Chokkan means formal, straight trunk, and Dai means over 24 inches tall.
