We are off to Atlanta to visit the zoo and the aquarium, so I started my run at 5:00 am. I ran alone since it was so early. So, I loaded up the play list (I used the Creative Zen Sleek since I am fairly well caught up on podcasts). Twas a good run and I enjoyed the tunes (see selection below). Data:

I'm back home, yeppee! I ran with an iPod Nano today. Why, you might ask? Well, while I was at the conference I met a friend of mine that works with a different company. His company and mine have a demo that demonstrates our products working together. During our first demo at one of my company's conferences, the demo suddenly stopped working properly just minutes before it was due to be shown. It was going to be shown during the opening key note session. The speaker was already on stage. I ran to get my friend who was in the audience at the time to see if he could help. On the way, I leaned too hard against a stair rail and broke the cover of my cell phone. Well, my friend had purchased an iPod Nano as a recompense for the whole affair. Which turned out fine. I had the speaker interrupted for an impromptu break. During the break, we made sure the test environment we had used originally still worked and shaped the demo just slightly to match the data in test. All went well. Back to the Nano, the Nano my friend purchased originally got lost in transit. So, at this conference. My friend said you have to come by on Wednesday! I did and that's when he gave me the Nano. What a guy! I have always wanted to play with an iPod, but not willing to buy one as about 1/2 half of my ripped CD's are in Windows Media format. I don't want to be bothered with transforming. Thus, couldn't be more appreciative of the gift. Now, I can check it out and it doesn't cost me anything. I like the player. I don't like iTunes. I am really hooked on the idea of being able to tell the desktop software that refreshes the player to simply monitor a directory. You can tell iTunes to import a folder, but I haven't not been able to find a way to have it monitor specific folders. Since I already use iPodder to manage my subscriptions and don't wish to change, this would make life easier. I have decided to use the Nano as my podcast device and leave the music on the Creative Zen Sleek. I may breakdown and start subscribing via iTunes. This would be fine for Adam Curry's Daily Source Code and Phedippidations (It was also interesting to learn that my friend listens to the Daily Source Code and Phedippidations too.). However, for IT Conversations, I normally filter the podcasts since I don't listen to all of them. I usually check out the show notes before putting on the player. That way, anything on the player is something I want to listen to. I listened to the Daily Source Code, btw. Data

Another early morning. This time I ran after my 5:00 am meeting. So, the sun was up and in my face for the first 1/2. But, still not bad. Tons of "naked women" rubbish on the side of the road. On the strip in Las Vegas, men stand around snapping cards to get your attention so they can give you a card. The card you receive has a very scantily dressed woman, a tantalizing statement, and some phone numbers. You can quess where it would lead. But, tons of these cards are on the side of the road. I can't imagine walking down this street with my toddler. I listened to one of my favorite running jams, Black Eyed Peas. Data:

An early morning, very early morning, run. But, it was beautiful. Something about the skies in the western US that are just more majestic than clear skies any where else. Things seem brighter and more clear. I presume its due to less moisture in the air. Other than the sky, the route was just urban sprawl away from the strip. I listened to one of my favorite running jams, Audioslave. Data:

Started off finishing up another of Adam Curry's Daily Source Codes and finished with 3 Doors Down. A good run and I got to watch the sun come up, which you may know I love to do. Although, I have a hard time starting a run in the morning. I prefer coffee and the news. Data:
