TechTalk - FitTalk - 1,000 Miles - RunKeeper

 Remember the days, when the only way you could actually keep track of your workout distance and time is by running laps? or running a trail?

Thanks to smartphones with GPS along with smart techies that made awesome applications, now we can just start an application and BAM! Our pace, distance, time, elevation, even heartrate can be tracked.

Well, I've used several applications out there (previously Nike+, but their shoes suck) and I had years of lag before I found RunKeeper I love the app so much that I even changed to an Android phone (the windows version doesn't work as well).

So... today I reached a milestone using the runkeeper application - 1,000 miles!!  Through a  combination of running, cycling, a little bit of hiking and a smidgen of walking.

Any other RunKeeper users out there?!

BakeTalk - Spaghetti and Meatballs

Baking today I wanted to do something a bit different, and I thought of spaghetti and meatballs!

So... that's what I did... it is basically vanilla cupcakes with vanilla icing along with raspberry jam and ferrero rocher chocolate.

Doesn't it look like spaghetti and meatballs!?

YUM...

This batch was a little on the sweeter side, I would change the raspberry jam and make my own (to be more tart to offset the sweetness of the icing)

Officially a College Graduate - Now What!?

Yup, as of December 17, 2011, I am a college graduate.  Though apparently, it takes the system up to 12 weeks to verify that all things are in order before retroactively proving a piece of paper that validates me as a more functional member of society. (yey!)

 

 To be honest, I never thought this day would come.  College really wasn't for me when I was younger, I had no desire to mingle with kids my age that just talked about things I really could care less about.  Weird thing is, I knew I was going to be successful even without a degree, but I do know that it is important to my dad, and hey... it was the proper time for me!  Graduating at the age of 31 is actually great (for me anyways), I have a great repertoire with my instructors, always the first to volunteer, not shy to provide my opinion - not to mention a bit more eloquent than my other colleagues.

Well, this is just the first step for me and I can't wait to move forward a pursue a graduate degree in Anthropology.

TechTalk - Best Tablet Browser

Over the course of the past 2 years, I've had my share of tablets, from iPad, Dell Streak 7, HTC Evo View 4G, HTC Flyer and Blackberry Playbook.  Each running different OS systems, iOS, Android 2.2 (Froyo), Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) and BB OS.

So... who has the best browser?!?

My favorite browser on a tablet the one that can be found on Blackberry Playbook.

Why!?

Well, I know the apps are limited (very limited) but the browser more than makes up for it.  Example, it is true that iOS and Android has applications to stream television from NBC, ABC, FOX, etc. but you won't need those apps for the PlayBook.  All you have to do is go to the website like you would on your computer, stream and watch the show.  This is great for sites that don't have "apps" that still run their website on flash... examples... CW, Logo, Cnet and Yahoo (and countless more)

You'll be able to watch embedded views on these sites!

Streaming Project Runway All Stars on Lifetime

Yes, while other tablets have other capabilities and tons of other applications, for $199 you can get the best internet experience on a tablet...

called the Blackberry Playbook.
