Nike Ploooos
I run regularly. I’m not very good at it but it gets the job done in keeping my overly vain obsession of not having a gut in checkcheck. I was reading running my ass off a few months ago. It a running blog written by one of the princes of making dolo online. She talked about how she bought the nike plus and how it helped her bang out some long ass runs on her way to preparing for a marathon.
I picked up an ipod nano and the 30 dolla nike plus a few weeks ago. I’ve gotta say, I’m a pc-ho and have always had a strong allegiance to the PC world. I think part of that is just the herd mentality. Apple makes dope products. period.
The nikeplus works but insert a small plastic transmitter in your shoe (or in my case, my sock) and a radio transmitter on the end of the nano. It tracks:
-distance
-time
-pace
-calories
it’s like having your very own treadmill display AND music in a device that weighs about as much as nothing. It took a bit to configure the device correctly and get it in the right spot in my sock so that it always works. But i’ve got the system down pat and from what I’ve heard the sucka is accurate to within feet.
two cool features:
distance: you set the distance that you want to run. A voice lets you know when you hit certain milestones on your way to your goal……….. 1 mile…. 2 miles…. 200 metres to go…. Awesome and absolutely dangerous feature. I’m pretty sure I died a few times mid-stride since I bought it.
new record: when you break your old distance record you get a congratulatory message from Lance Armstrong. I would have much preferred the Dalai Lama or Optimus Prime but Armstrong will do.
The total cost of everything was about 2 bones including tax. Well worth the dolo.

What to do with a durty spammer
I’ve mentioned a bunch of times how much I hate spam and how pointless it is (since most programs block it). Well, I got this unbelievably long spam comment for an old post. Spammers will generally do this because older posts aren’t monitored as closely and their comment as well as the backlink to a garbage site will stay up a bit longer.
Instead of deleting the comment the way i usually do I decided to play johny adlibs with it. So check out the replacement phrases:
Allah – –Al Davies, Rightful Leader of Zamunda
Islam — Albino Bearcat
Iraq — jersey shore
Christians — baby kittens
christian – overmedicated female bodybuilder
jews — baby gorillas
jew — 14 year old boy from the bronx
holocaust — mixed martial arts fight
america — 15th century el salvador
now check out the actual comment: it appears after the post.. obvi
