Andrew Venegas is, "The Running Man"

I'm hooked on my new ipod nano.

Small screen size aside, there's been such an advance in the interface and customizability since I got my first ipod five years ago (it was a 2nd generation), that even a normal PC user like myself was humbled a little.

The latest add-on to my ipod, a Nike+Ipod. I bought a pair of Nike Plus shoes today, got the microchip that Apple sells, linked it to my nano, and went for my first run today. I also set the goal of running a measly 16 times over the next four weeks. Piece of cake... of course, now that it's online for everyone to read, I guess I really have to do it. Damn.

And that's the real genius of the new ipod. If Apple can get lazy tech geeks like myself to drool over the possibility of running, well, they may just rule the world one day (and that's coming from a PC guy).

SJSU Tennis has a Sense of Humor

French hippos... need I say more. The website for SJSU tennis may be down right now, but I'm still happy.

Check this site out while the video's still up.

Sports @ SJSU Growing?

I not a sports buff, by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, I'm just a geek. But this article today from College Hotline and this one from the Merc caught my attention - strange whispers of a stadium getting built near campus with some real promise of expanding SJSU's image across the Bay and beyond.

More attention, even in sports, would mean more revenue for the school, and possibly more opportunities for students. I'm not saying the deal would necessarily be the right thing for the school, but I'd definitely like to hear more.
