New Death Cab Album Out!

Death Cab for Cutie's new album, Narrow Stairs, released today.  I've seen DCFC live 3 times and they are probably one of my favorite acts.  I haven't listened to any of the tracks yet, but I can assure you this album will be spinning on my iPod for the next month or so.

I've posted about Death Cab twice before on CB once in April '06 and November '06.

A Video and a Thought.

If you're not grounded, then it's only a matter of time before you look and sound like everyone else… 

Garmin 405 Review and Unboxing

Garmin 405 Released - I got one!

Garmin just released their new Forerunner 405 GPS watch this weekend at the Boston Marathon Expo.  The watch was originally supposed to release mid-February; but, for unknown reasons, the release date keeps on being pushed back by Garmin.  Word on the street is that the watch won't hit stores for another 2 weeks.

Luckily, I have a friend in Boston and is running the marathon today.  He picked me up a new Garmin 405 with the heart rate monitor.  The question now is: to eBay or not to eBay?  There have been a handful listed since Saturday and they are currently selling $100 over retail price.  I think I'll keep it for now and be one of the exclusive few in the country to own one…

What's so cool about this watch?  Because it uses satellite technology, it can track how far you run, how fast you ran, where you ran (Google maps integration), the elevation changes of your run, and it wirelessly downloads all this information to your computer when you are within a 50 ft radius.

Check out some cool vids of the watch here and here

Global Warming.

I want to hear your thoughts on global warming.  Feel free to write long and lengthy comments.  I think this will provide great conversation.

*As a note, I do not believe in global warming and will share my thoughts in a later post.
