I had the Polar 625 for 3 years, but I never really trusted the results. The 625 was difficult to calibrate and the accuracy seemed to change depending on how fast I was running.

The Garmin 305 is great! I was worried that it would be too big, but, although bigger than a n normal watch, it doesn’t seem obtrusive. I have full confidence that my distance and HR readings are accurate and it is fun to export the data to Google Earth.

I enjoy running and this device adds to the fun.

I loved my Kindle 2. Loved, loved, loved. However, after not using it for a couple months due to a strenuous time at work, I pulled it out yesterday to start ordering and reading some books. The first thing I see is my screen showing me the “Critical Battery / your battery is empty” message. Ok, that’s understandable since I haven’t used it in a while so I plug in the charger and go about my day. Roughly eight hours later I unplug the power-cable and pick up the Kindle only to see the same “Critical Battery” message on my screen. The power-slider-button-thing has no effect. Searching the web for answers I attempt three different strategies to “reboot” it, all to no avail. So, this morning I contact Kindle CS. During this call, a very friendly CS rep has me repeat the “reboot” steps I’d already tried and…nothing. Reboot without power-cord? Nothing. Reboot with power-cord? Nothing. Hold down power for 20 secs, then the “home” button? Nothing.

The short of it: Since my Kindle 2 is out of warranty there’s nothing Amazon can do for me except sell me a re-furbished Kindle for $159. WTF? I don’t read a book for two-three months and my $300 Kindle is bricked? Are you kidding me? Oh yeah, the CS said my “other option” was to just go ahead and buy a new Kindle since the refurbs only have a 90-day warranty on them and this problem may arise again…

The morale of the story: Until you read that there’s been a firmware update to resolve this “Critical Battery” issue, save your money and don’t buy a Kindle. Clearly there’s more R&D needed for this, otherwise, awesome device.

What a shame, because if it worked it’s a fantastic product. As it is now, it’s a time-bomb, and expensive time bomb at that.

Conversations with God : An Uncommon Dialogue by Neale Donald Walsch is a thought provoking book about one man’s relation with God. Walsch spends years writing down questions about religion and God on a legal pad. Out of the blue God starts answering them. It becomes quite complex at times. It’s just nice to see people are interested in what God has to say in this day and age.
If you’re so inclined, and want to read the messages God gave to a man who prayed 1,000,000 prayers than you definitely want to read this Great new book I found about faith, Jesus, God’s message and what we will do in the after-life entitled “The Enlightenment, What God Told Me After One Million Prayers: A Message for Everyone,” by John H. Eagan. It’s really fantastic and the message from God is just amazing. I think the readers of Walsch’s book will really enjoy The Enlightenment. I can’t recommend it enough!
