Hate running with a big 'ol smartphone. I pre-measure my runs using gmaps-pedometer, and have a plain jane stopwatch for time. Don't even listen to music anymore, find it nicer to be unencumbered and 'tech free' when running.

I think once it gets to dvd/blu-ray/on-demand, plus international box-office, it will do alright.

Pretty sure that's a Wusthof Classic ... perhaps you need another year in Housewares ;)

My chef's knife, hands down. I think I might have the same one as in the picture. I know some don't like German blades, but the weighting/balance works for me.

And even if it doesn't (my 4 year old Thinkpad doesn't have HDMI), many HDTV's have a PC-in connection that you can plug a plain old monitor cable into. I've been doing that for years and it works just fine.

Have you used a thinkpad in recent years? Nothing ugly or heavy about them, well thought out and well built computers. I'm not going to comment on dell...

The fencing arena looks like something out of Tron. Plus their outfits make it look like two cyborgs dueling.

Missy Franklin : 17 years old, 6'1" tall, 6'4" wingspan, size 13 shoes. She's basically the female version of Phelps, body-wise.

My humble Sansa Clip behaves the same way ... I actually prefer it to keep the same shuffle order unless you reset it.

Yea I saw that ... which is too bad because the tv & storage boxes that come w/ it seem pretty damn nice.

They do seem to be missing some key channels though (AMC, HBO, ESPN most notably) ... so we'll see.

Their $120 package for gigabit internet + TV seems pretty good for what you get.

Gotcha. My friends are probably 50-50 on cable/no-cable (I have cable, mostly for HBO/Showtime/AMC). Although I'm over 30, so depending on how old you are I could be one of your "older co-workers" types.

I'm sure you have at least one friend w/ cable who would happy to let you 'borrow' their login info.

I'm not worried, we have the same taste in television!

Yea just saw the Real Sports segment on this, pretty incredible. Can't find it online but here's a 20/20 story on it.

Posting the video is easier ;)

I usually tip my regular take out places a couple of bucks when I pick up ... because if they're my regular place it means I like them.

I think you need to change your avatar.

Sub out weed for booze and you might be onto something. If you're "super drunk" you'll probably just fall asleep.
