You have to love the FCC – these are the first pictures of the Amp+ along with its manual and other goodies.
I just hope the Flight+ (or Aero+, or whatever it was supposed to be called) with its proper screen appears soon too.

London Triathlon
Well done to Linda, Ben, Mark & Piers! It was a scorching day, but I think everyone just about survived!
Tour de France
Some pictures in the gallery for you…
I realised that they did (obviously) have support vehicles, just not as many!
Nike+ watches: update
As I happened to be passing Niketown on 5th Avenue this morning, I popped in and enquired when I’d be able to get my mitts on the new Nike running watches (Aero+, Flight+ etc.).
The guy there told me "within the next two months, but I’m not supposed to tell". Oh well :)
Two months to wait then!
CPAN
I’m now a fully fledged author on CPAN :)
My first contribution – WWW::Nike::NikePlus – a module that interfaces to the Nike+ running site which allows you to pull out all your run/goal/challenge data.
Go me.
New Nike+ watches
Now then, according to speculation back in January we were supposed to be able to get our mitts on new Nike+ watches that talk to our running shoes and our iPod yesterday.
Where are they, eh?
London Marathon 2007
Some pictures from today’s marathon for you:
Update: I forgot to mention that I’ve tagged all the photos as much as possible, including with the runner’s number (if I could see them) and obviousl running clubs. So, you can search for yourself with your number. I have higher res photos too, so if you find yourself and want a big pic, let me know.
Lovely Lycra
Pearl Izumi have released quite a nice Lycra cycling bib (sort of combined cycling shorts and, er, "suspenders") which combines my love of gadgetry with my lycra sports kit fetish.
I give you the cycling shorts with integrated MP3 player!
At $500 I think I’d just get myself some regular lycra gear and a Nano…

Runometer
OK, so I’ve uploaded a couple of runs now…
I like it, and I like the fact that there’s a growng community behind with the coders actively seeking out improvements. I’m particularly looking forward to the ability to plot your speeds on top of the map.
They also have a nice widget, so I can show you my last run:
Anyone else who runs round Greenland Quay want to join some sort of league? I’m rubbish and need the motivation ;)
New Nike+ running site
I’m a bit of a fan of my Nike+iPod system (and the sexy lycra running gear to match, but that’s another matter…) but the only problem I’ve found is that you’re forced into using the Nike running website to store your data and graph your runs.
Firstly the Nike running site is a bit slow and flakey at the best of times, and second, what happens if they suddenly decide to do away with it? All my data is lost forever.
No longer! Some cunning soles have reverse engineered the file format the iPod stores your run data in and also integrated it with a GMaps pedometer stylee thing. You can even share your runs out with others to find and have a go at.
It’s a bit beta and although I haven’t tried it yet, it promises lots. I shall let you know how I get on.
