Loving the application Loopt on my iPhone. It is the one that Apple has done some TV commercials where you can see your friends on a map. When I downloaded it went thru my contact list of 449 names and I only had 2 friends on Loopt. I have lobbied a few others and now have 8 friends on Loopt. There are times when I'm in the office and I find out later that a buddy was 20 cubes away. This will fix that.
Try it out and play around. It will change things as my kids get older and mobile. This may be a few years ahead of it's time.

It had been a while since my last JB flight, I was so silly that I purchased a book to kill the time. I watched the WSOP final table rerun and then the 'Skins/Cowboys game before doing some work.

I always thought Facebook was for the babysitter crowd. You know cute highschoolers and college kids that posted photos from bars and concerts. My wife was advised as part of her startup to do a FaceBook page and she really is digging finding and staying in touch with old friends. Over the weekend, I decided to out do her and start my own page and holy smokes, I have old buddies and classmates coming out of the woodwork. How cool. If you are out there, look me up.

My new favorite free application is Say Who? It is a voice activated phone dialer that has worked beautifully for me. The app has saved me a lot of time looking down IF I choose to talk while driving. I have about 10 folks on my favorites list and calls tons of other folks so the voice dialer is great.
Since it is free and highly recommended here and elsewhere, give it a try.

Your dentist says as you are walking out of his office, "no hard feelings right?" I had the most painful experience that I can remember. The shots didn't seem to take total effect as my cavity was getting drilled. I had a semi emergency and got my buddy to work me into his schedule almost realtime, so that was great. All better now, but 15 minutes of living hell...

I had the biggest sports week of my life. That is a big statement, and not to take away anything from my older half marathons from a few years and 10 pounds ago. I had the biggest ESPN week, how about that?
I was able to go to Monday Night Football, Redskins versus Steelers, and take my son. He had no school on Monday or Tuesday due to election, so he was loving it. The tickets just popped up on Monday morning, thanks Bob. Then Wednesday morning, I got a call to be the DD for the Thursday night ESPN game with Virginia Tech and Maryland. Thursday morning, I got a call from a buddy with 2 more tickets. My wife claims to be a bigger Hokie fan and my little guy was really bumming. So little guy went to half day of school and missed Friday, he is only in 5th grade and to be able to hang with Mom and Dad at a great event, is worth more than a day at school.
Got to get back work now.

I have been a non blogging heathen, to use a John Clingan term, for a while now. Crazy busy, but lots of fun stuff going on. Entries coming. Stick with me.

Come on, you really did work? Or did you then play...
The TV was never turned off, so I was multitasking...
