"The Republic of Iceland (en-us-Iceland.ogg /ˈaɪslənd/ (help·info)) (Icelandic: Ísland or Lýðveldið Ísland (names of Iceland); IPA: [ˈislant]), is an island country located in the North Atlantic Ocean.[2] It has a population of about 320,000 and a total area of 103,000 km².[3] Its capital and largest city is Reykjavík. Located on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, Iceland is volcanically and geologically active on a large scale; this defines the landscape. The interior mainly consists of a plateau characterised by sand fields, mountains and glaciers, while many big glacial rivers flow to the sea through the lowlands. Warmed by the Gulf Stream, Iceland has a temperate climate relative to its latitude and provides a habitable environment and nature."

I would love to go to Fårö, the island above Gotland in Sweden, where Ingmar Bergman used to live. I'm dreaming of it already for 20 years now. But I'm afraid I'm having too much trouble with homesickness (& I also don't dare to fly :-()
- Ton Zijp
Btw: I went to Åland once. Group of islands inbetween Sweden & Finland. 6.500 Islands. I never got further than the harbour because of my never lasting problem with being away from home. But at least I came to realise that the long journey was worth it, although I stayed there for just 2 nights (= 1 full day). I'd love to go back there again.
- Ton Zijp
Since the release, there has been an active community exploring the inside of the Pre. I'll be adding my notes here as well as pointers to some other useful resources.

I used the instructions for a Mac. Pretty painless although having to reset the phone to enable dev mode was a little alarming. Getting in via USB and novaterm after the reset was a no brainer though.

TCP congestion control is set to cubic (should hybla or something else be used instead?). However, this is the default for recent versions of the Linux kernel. http://74.125.155.132/search...
- Jauder Ho
However, only cubic and reno are available by default on the Pre. net.ipv4.tcp_available_congestion_control = cubic reno
- Jauder Ho
Some additional reading: TCP Congestion Control over 3G Communication Systems: an Experimental Evaluation of New Reno, BIC and Westwood+ http://74.125.155.132/search...

Note the fairly small TCP buffer size.

netstat -ntp output http://gist.github.com/133122 Looks like there is a SSL connection to a server in North Carolina. There is also an XMPP connection to the same subnet block.
- Jauder Ho
/var/log/messages appears to log most if not all power events. This should be useful in tracking down apps that are misbehaving wrt power.
- Jauder Ho
Looks like the XMPP server connection is automatically maintained, not quite sure what is being transferred since I do not have messaging setup (other than SMS).
- Jauder Ho
If you have Flightview installed, it looks like it tries to launch itself every 15 minutes even if it is not an open card. See http://gist.github.com/133127 This obviously could lead to battery drain.
- Jauder Ho
I'm deleting Flightview until this is fixed or an option to disable is provided.

Max observed charge is 1149.550049mAh which is pretty close to the stated max of 1150mAh. Can anyone with a Seidio battery report what they see?
- Jauder Ho
As reported, Google Calendar and Contacts sync in the background. This seems to happen every 15 minutes (after the 1.0.3 update).
- Jauder Ho
Prior to 1.0.3, the sync happened every 2 hours. Personally, I'm fine with the sync happening every 2 hours if it saves battery life.
- Jauder Ho
Suspend does not seem to work that well as IdleCheck often reports activity. But this could be because I am logged in via novaterm. Looking at older logs do indicate SLEEP periods.

Was going to look into hacking a character counter for the Messaging app but the code is pretty messy. This might be more work than I expected.

Tried to trick the Jawbone into playing music from Pandora using this method (http://bit.ly/VF48c) but it did not work.
- Jauder Ho
No dice with a mp3 on the Music player either.
- Jauder Ho
After more Googling, it looks like the Jawbone (orig) does not support A2DP. The previous link was about trying to use the headset profile to stream music. Too bad really, it would have been nice to be able to listen to music occasionally on the Jawbone (mono and all).
- Jauder Ho
Not currently syncing music with iTunes. I was able to create a music/ folder via USB and the music player found it automatically.
- Jauder Ho
I wonder what upgrades/apps are going to be possible given the similarity. Video recording app for the Pre?
- Jauder Ho
Per Rapid Repair, the Pre uses an OMAP3430 - 600 MHz ARM Cortex A8 + PowerVR SGX 530 GPU + 430MHz C64x+ DSP + ISP (Image Signal Processor)
- Jauder Ho
From the Wikipedia entry for OMAP3 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... "The OMAP3 is broken into 3 distinct groups: the OMAP34x, the OMAP35x, and the OMAP36x. OMAP34x and OMAP36x are distributed directly to large handset (such as cell phone) manufacturers. OMAP35x is a variant of OMAP34x intended for catalog distribution channels. The OMAP36x is a 45nm version of...
more...
- Jauder Ho
Interestingly, there are faster versions of the 34x up to 1GHz (3640 on 45nm process instead of 65nm).
- Jauder Ho
OMAP4 parts have been announced (from Wikipedia) that use the dual code ARM Cortex A9.
- Jauder Ho
The SGX530 is capable of 14 MPolys/s so it'll be interesting to see what games are produced for the Pre. The iPhone 3GS specs state that they use a PowerVR SGX too although the specific model is not clear.
- Jauder Ho
Added the ipkg feed via the predev wiki http://predev.wikidot.com/adding-... Enabled ssh by installing dropbear. Set ssh to be niced to 5 (ssh is not a priority process)
- Jauder Ho
Added .ssh/authorized_keys to Pre. It's better than using passwords... Will edit wiki to reflect this at some point.
- Jauder Ho
Was just digging around inside the Pre and noticed that the naming convention for the Pandora app is off. It says com.palm.pandora which implies that it's a Palm developed app...
- Jauder Ho
I do not like the minuscule button in the top left. Someone has mentioned using a gesture to flip the card over to set preferences. That would be brilliant.
- Jauder Ho
Erk. It seems that turning on CPU scaling makes the Pre a lot more aggressive about powering down (makes sense). However, this includes powering down the wifi which means ssh sessions will just hang... YMMV.
- Jauder Ho
Alrighty, taking a closer look at Bluetooth now.
- Jauder Ho
There's BluetoothMonitor, PmBtStart, PmBtStack and PmBtEngine. It does not look like bluez is being used.
- Jauder Ho
straced PmBtStack while powering up a BT keyboard with no effect so it looks like a) the supported profiles are hardcoded in (or I have not been able to find where they are) and b) hacking additional profile support in may not be possible.
- Jauder Ho
There looks like there is a Bluetooth sniffer at /usr/bin/palmsniffer which turns out to be a shell script.
- Jauder Ho
Bluetooth output appears to be bound to a port which then you can telnet to. Port number seems to be hardcoded to 16888.
- Jauder Ho
telnet to port 16888 will start the log and telnet to port 16889 will stop the log. Ends up generating a binary file. Running strings on it does show my BT headset connecting...
- Jauder Ho
FWIW, also bought some usb cables and car charger from monoprice.com. Cheapest option that I could find. 2 cables and 1 charger for less than $10.
- Jauder Ho
Back to Bluetooth, running hexdump and strings on the output did not show anything too interesting. Unfortunately, I do not have the BT keyboard with me any longer. Maybe I should try the Wiimote.
- Jauder Ho
Once again, current supported Bluetooth profiles by the Pre (as of 1.0.3): PAN, A2DP, HFP/HSP, PBAP, AVRCP. Let Palm know if you want different profiles such as HID, OPP and SPP.
- Jauder Ho
Crossing fingers and updating fairly heavily hacked system to 1.0.4.
- Jauder Ho
It is possible to use scp to copy files across wifi to the Pre. However, this drops the file by default into /var/home/<user> instead of the larger /media/internal partition.
- Jauder Ho
Out of curiosity, I tried playing the HaveFun.mp4 while watching top. It seems to consume about 12% CPU on average (cpu scaling turned on) so there's plenty of horsepower left.
- Jauder Ho
Open Card Information: Orange + Sym + i. You will see information about the open card, including how many images the app is using, how many DOM nodes, Render nodes, and Render layers it's calling. Potentially useful to web developers learning how to program for the webOS. (From precentral.net)
- Jauder Ho
Are tcpdump and hcidump available on the Pre, out of interest?
- Tyson Key
From what I can see, tcpdump and bluez-hcidump are available from the Optware ipkg feed (i.e. not installed by default but available). Note that the BT stack does not appear to be Bluez.
- Jauder Ho
Hmm, has anyone ran NMAP against a Pre whilst it's associated with a Wi-Fi LAN?
- Tyson Key
I'll be surprised if anyone manages to gets parts of the OpenMoko userland/UI layer working on it, just for the sake of it...
- Tyson Key
From my other thread (http://bit.ly/iIWnP), nmap over wifi shows only port 113 closed. This is pre-rooting and hacking. I now have ssh open over wifi.
- Jauder Ho
I would not be surprised if parts of OpenMoko work at some point especially given people already getting NES and PSX up and running on the Pre already. It is not inconceivable that some enterprising chap with the right libs and wrappers could potentially get iPhone apps on the Pre given the similarity between the hardware of the phones.
- Jauder Ho
All phones were spoken for by 8:10am or so. They are putting people on waitlists and will call as phones become available.
- Jauder Ho
Touchstones are in *very* short supply. The 5 in stock were snapped up right away. Other available accessories include a car charger and holster.
- Jauder Ho
Poll of the crowd seems to indicate mostly Sprint customers and not a lot of iPhone switchers.
- Jauder Ho
Registering the phone is taking quite a while as the systems are bogged down. The store is adequately staffed just not enough inventory or fast signup. Palm representative on hand to speak with customers.
- Jauder Ho
First impression of the phone is that it is much smaller than the 700p even though it is not that much shorter minus the antenna. Battery seems a lot more compact and not clear how it compares with older Treos. Will be getting an extended battery if it becomes available. Battery door is delicate but impressively moulded. Phone was 50% charged when unpacked but went to 100% in a short period after charging.
- Jauder Ho
Tip: Slide the phone out before trying to remove the door. There's a little bit more room to maneuver. The Micro USB door is not easy to get off and will probably end up being broken on many phones.
- Jauder Ho
The box itself has a new car-ish leather smell. Bundled accessories are charger and earphones. The phone itself fits very nicely in hand.
- Jauder Ho
Phone does not flex when in the open position. The indenting to open the phone one handed still needs work. The edges are quite sharp and probably should be buffed down to a duller edge. Dremel or sandpaper?
- Jauder Ho
Palm Profile is required. No opting out and hence you need to provide a valid email for the Pre to work.
- Jauder Ho
Initial signup and provision went smoothly. The introductory video tutorial will play with no way to skip. Next, some additional technical details.
- Jauder Ho
Running Steve Souder's UA Profiler returns a score of 6/11. User Agent string is "Mozilla/5.0 (webOS/1.0; U; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.27.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/1.0 Safari/525.27.1 Pre/1.0" which indicates building off of the Safari 3.x code base. So if Palm updates to use the Nitro engine, there could be a nice speed boost.
- Jauder Ho
Downloading is fairly fast. www.dslreports.com/mspeed 1MB test shows 462kbit/s and 0.308s latency.
- Jauder Ho
www.cloudfour.com/mobile test shows 1 connection but the browser does seem to support gzip compression. See detection code at http://www.cloudfour.com/mobile...
- Jauder Ho
There is Java 1.5 under the hood. Not sure why 1.6 is not used.
- Jauder Ho
Tip: Clean up your Google Contacts BEFORE adding to the Pre. Unfortunately, the Pre imports All Contacts instead of My Contacts from Google which results in a mess of contacts showing up in your addressbook such as temporary Craigslist addresses. There has been a bug report filed with Palm but this needs to be surfaced to them as a major bug. Contact cleanup also means less to download. OTOH, I am told that the iPhone suffers from this too. Can someone verify?
- Jauder Ho
By adding Gmail, the Pre will automatically download contacts from Google Contacts and meetings from Google Calendar. There does not seem to be a way to only import say just Gmail.
- Jauder Ho
Wi-fi works seamlessly. Was able to pair using WPA with zero issues.
- Jauder Ho
Device Info shows. Palm webOS 1.0.1 / Sprint 1.4. ##786 trick still works. PRL version is 60652. Some additional variables compared to 700p.
- Jauder Ho
Trying to nmap the device does not show anything right now but will retry later.
- Jauder Ho
Tip: Go to Screen & Lock and dial the brightness down to save battery as well as the dim interval (set to 30 seconds).
- Jauder Ho
Sound on videos still play when set to vibrate mode.
- Jauder Ho
webOS 1.0.2 is available at 67MB. Downloading over wifi now. No release notes available. Update estimated to take 10mins.
- Jauder Ho
Voicemail icon will show you how many voicemails you have but alas no visual voicemail. Hopefully, someone will develop a Google Voice app.
- Jauder Ho
While the update is installing, Sprint MiFi is available in stores although quantities are limited. If you buy a broadband card at the same time as your Pre, Sprint will take another $50 off. So for a MiFi which after rebates retails for $99 will sell for $49 + 2 year plan. Everything Plus + Broadband is $149/month. Just something to consider. Existing exotic pre-Pre unlimited plan for $90/mth did not port over to the Pre so now on the Everything plan.
- Jauder Ho
Update finished without issue. Did experience a web browser crash soon after. Reboot seems to take a while. Area of improvement for Palm.
- Jauder Ho
Phone does get visibly hotter under use. Particularly after playing videos or music.
- Jauder Ho
Not verified but the keyboard may not be backlit. If so, this is going to be a problem/pain in low light situations.
- Jauder Ho
Also, the App Catalog seems to have been hacked. It appears that the reviews section of an app allows arbitrary HTML. When trying to read an app review, a browser session was launched pointing at http://www.palmpre.org/importa...
- Jauder Ho
As a side note, the Google Contacts interface is hard to use when there are a couple of thousand entries.
- Jauder Ho
It appears that speed dial is missing from the phone app. Strange feature to have left out. Hopefully, this will come in an update soon.
- Jauder Ho
Hurray, the keyboard is backlit, albeit a little dim.
- Jauder Ho
Bluetooth works fine with Jawbone (first gen) and in car BT. No issues.
- Jauder Ho
Supported Bluetooth profiles: PAN, A2DP, HFP/HSP, PBAP, AVRCP. Mac addresses for wifi and Bluetooth show Palm as the vendor.
- Jauder Ho
nmap over wifi shows only port 113 closed.
- Jauder Ho
Developer SDK ROM is available to be installed over consumer ROM to provide debug support. Might be a way to get ssh access. Not trying for now.
- Jauder Ho
Tip: Google Contacts cleanup ahead of time really helps. Also, try to do the initial sync over wifi. Discovered an erroneous contact after first sync; corrected in Google Contacts and resynchronized to have it magically fixed on the Pre. So it looks like sync is doing "the right thing". Have not tested to see if contacts updated in Pre will update in the other direction.
- Jauder Ho
Email app does not allow for reply as recipient email.
- Jauder Ho
Tip: (thanks to @adora) For speed dial, go to Contacts > find person, Menu > Add to speed dial. Very unintuitive and should have been a hold down on the phone number for xx seconds and prompt or something like that. In some ways, the UX on the 700p was better.
- Jauder Ho
BUG: Rotating cards does not always work (needs hard twist) and sometimes renders with the wrong zoom level (easily corrected).
- Jauder Ho
BUG: Keypad based nav does not work on mobile sites. I.e typing 0 on m.twitter.com has no effect.
- Jauder Ho
Confirmed. Updating number on Pre does not update Google Contacts. Bug?
- Jauder Ho
BUG: Unable to remove AIM account after adding it to Messaging app. Also, a surprise to see AIM contacts added to Contacts. Correction: Unable to remove AIM while signed on. Not clear on the use case of what happens when you have AIM, FB imported with AIM contacts and then remove AIM. Do the FB contacts with AIM accounts get deleted too?
- Jauder Ho
Battery door is hard to take off. Was afraid I would break the tabs. See this vid (@1:15) on the way to take the door off. http://www.youtube.com/watch...
- Jauder Ho
Cut & paste is a little awkward IMO but happy to have that feature.
- Jauder Ho
Per @Marc_Wilson, Google Contacts sync with Pre is bidirectional. Can anyone else confirm?
- Jauder Ho
All this use completely drained the battery. While charging, it shows a big charging symbol which does not seem to go away. This should minimize or turn off to prevent screen burn in.
- Jauder Ho
Phone hung while charging. Needed to reset by pulling the battery. There does not seem to be a reset button.
- Jauder Ho
Some followup thoughts a week later...
- Jauder Ho
Battery life seems to have taken a huge dive midweek. It appears that the battery contacts are loose which was leading the phone to only charge sometimes.
- Jauder Ho
Dropping the phone accidentally seems to have fixed this. Obviously, this is not a recommended move.
- Jauder Ho
Current settings that seem to have resulted in okay battery life although I will probably be getting a Seidio extended battery at some point.
- Jauder Ho
Twitter Search only shows up in Global Search and not in inapp search for some reason.
- Jauder Ho
BTW if you are doing User-Agent sniffing (generally a bad idea IMO), you can just sniff for "webOS". This was successfully tested on a site yesterday.
- Jauder Ho
Evernote just ported to Pre. A little barebones right now but hopefully will be updated soon.
- Jauder Ho
There is not an official Yelp app yet but there the Where app does feature a Yelp button as an interim workaround.
- Jauder Ho
Still using m.twitter.com for lack of a good Twitter client for now.
- Jauder Ho
Will probably start rooting around inside the Pre soon but that will be a separate thread.
- Jauder Ho
Back to battery life, with the setup above, battery life is decent although you probably want to have multiple chargers handy. The Touchstone is making a case for itself if it is to be charged frequently.
- Jauder Ho
Bluetooth occasionally resets the phone. YMMV. AFAIK, the handling of multiple BT devices is still not there, i.e. Pre, Jawbone and BT in car.
- Jauder Ho
Pictures taken with the camera are kept in the standard DCIM folder. Under that is a folder called 100PALM. Looks like the naming will allow for 9999 pictures before rolling over.
- Jauder Ho
You can add your own wallpaper by putting a 320x480 image in /wallpapers
- Jauder Ho
Pictures are named in the format CIMGxxxx.JPG
- Jauder Ho
BUG: Ugh, there's a bug in the naming sequence. If you delete some images, it looks like the Pre will reuse the sequence number instead of monotonically increasing the number. So keep that in mind so you will not have overlapping images or make sure to rename them.
- Jauder Ho
Examined the EXIF. Shutter speed is way off and the focal length is not set.
- Jauder Ho
It would be nice if the Pre could set IPTC information automatically leveraging geotagging. Imagine having the IPTC prefilled with City: San Francisco, State: US etc.
- Jauder Ho
exiftool shows "Bad IFD2 directory" warning.
- Jauder Ho
Exposure Mode is not set: Exposure Mode : Unknown (41987)
- Jauder Ho
While in USB mode, a drive image is shown with no way to turn it off. Kind of a bummer.
- Jauder Ho
OTOH, the giant always on charging symbol seems to have gone away (after a crash and reset) and now charges quietly with the screen blanked (Good!)
- Jauder Ho
Accidentally triggered the Airplane mode today while phone was in pocket. Something to watch out for.
- Jauder Ho
There does not seem to be a lot of holster options available right now but I've had good luck with the Seidio holster for the Treo. They are selling one for the Pre now. YMMV. http://store.precentral.net/seidio-...
- Jauder Ho
As a side note, the chaps over at Tesla were very interested in the Pre when there today. Maybe they will build something to interface with the Pre.
- Jauder Ho
Each of the wallpapers are about 128k in size. By substituting a replacement image or recompressing, you will save some space.
- Jauder Ho
Now on to Google Maps. Impressed at the speed where location is acquired and displayed. Tried this at the Apple store and the Pre seemed to be consistently faster at this than the iPhone. YMMV.
- Jauder Ho
Finally, figured out how to add Speed Dial. This is very unintuitive as currently implemented. To add, find the person you want to add and select. Then go to Contacts > Set Speed Dial.
- Jauder Ho
Just found out that Google Maps updates location in near realtime. Impressive!
- Jauder Ho
BUG: If you try to send an email when in airplane mode, the mail app seems to go into an infinite loop.
- Jauder Ho
Ugh, the slider is now noticeably looser after 2 weeks of use. Maybe time to go to the Sprint store to compare.
- Jauder Ho
First real use of the phone yesterday away from a charger. Light to moderate use resulted in a dead phone by 7pm. Getting an extended battery seems to be a requirement at this point
- Jauder Ho
Also, turned off GPS in an attempt to save battery.
- Jauder Ho
Supposedly, there is an update coming soon that addresses battery issues.
- Jauder Ho
Plugging the Pre into a XP machine seems to hang the keyboard. Removing the device and retrying seems to fix things.
- Jauder Ho
Very impressed that wifi seems to work better on the Pre than my laptop (trying to connect from 3rd to 1st floor).
- Jauder Ho
Tip: For fast contact find: Try typing first letter of first name then last name so for John Doe, type jdo ...
- Jauder Ho
Interestingly, it is possible to be in airplane mode with wifi on. Good feature to have...
- Jauder Ho
Scrolling the call log seems to be pretty choppy. There also does not seem to be a way to clear the call log.
- Jauder Ho
Similarly, there does not seem to be a way to clear the messaging log. Separate thread on exploring the inside of a Pre here. http://bit.ly/enFqB

در قسمت اول این سری مطالب باهم سفری داشتیم به تاریخچه پیدایش مکینتاش و تحول آن در گذر زمان. سپس در قسمت دوم به بیان گوشه ای از تفاوتهای اجمالی این سیستم عامل جذاب با رقیب سرسختش ویندوز پرداختیم. همچنین گفتیم که با ظهور نسل جدید مکینتاش ها با سی پی یو های Intel این امکان فراهم شد تا بدون داشتن یک مکینتاش واقعی بتوان از لذت کار کردن با این سیستم عامل روی PC بهره مند شد. اگر با خواندن دو قسمت پیشین کنجکاو شده اید تا بدانید چگونه این امر ممکن شده است این مقاله مخصوص شماست.

"تصور کنید دوربین دیجیتالتان را به کامپیوترتان وصل کردهاید و میخواهید تصاویرتان را از روی دوربین به کامپیوتر انتقال دهید. حالا چهقدر جالب خواهد بود که نرمافزار تصوبر چهرهی دوستان و افراد خوانوادهتان را شناسایی کرده و همراه با نامشان برای شما نشان دهد. شاید تصور کنید این تصوری دور و دراز و دور از دسترس است اما اگر این گونه فکر میکنید سخت در اشتباهید زیرا در نسخه آینده نرمافزار Windows Live Photo gallery مایکروسافت این امکان را مفت و مجانی در اختیار شما خواهد گذاشت. در نسخهی آیندهی این نرمافزار یک سیستم شناسایی چهره (face recognition)، به صورت خاص اضافه خواهد شد که قادر به شناسایی چهرهها در عکسهای شخصی شماست و همچنین شما میتوانید عکسها را برای شناسایی چهرهها در عکسهای بعدی و کارهای دیگر Tag گذاری نمایید."

Oh, forgot the real comment. I'll drive off a road hundreds of feet into some canyon. Don't tell my friends and family...they'll be concerned.

"If you’re a slow reader, two people have died from it. It’s not your fault." Phew! Here I was thinking that having a learning disability was takin' folks out left and right.
- Joanmarie
nathan, pretty sure you meant that "tongue-in-cheek" ;-) but there actually is a link between gum disease and heart disease. http://www.webmd.com/heart-d... So you could probably roll up "gum disease" into the number 1 cause of death, heart disease. floss or die, peeps.
- Karim
Don't let my wife see this. Inches from a motorcycle
- Charlie Anzman
The day after July 4 it's good to know that the least likely way you will die is fireworks discharge.
- Kevin Shannon
I was serious about gum disease. I'm with you there, Karim. Though I don't floss.
- Nathan Rein
oh! well apologies for the didacticism, then :-D but what's up with the no flossing? are you TRYING to kill yourself? (and would "not flossing" roll up into "suicide?" But I digress...) one of life's little pleasures is having a cute dental hygienist lean over you and tell you your gums are in great shape.
- Karim
yes, i, too, am now worried that nathan is suicidal. those odds are kind of surprising, too. (rap, i'll be checking for your e-mail soon. ;) )
- edythe
karim, the time before last, the dental hygienist did a double take when she saw my gums and said she'd only seen gums so pink in textbooks...granted, i think her textbook days were probably not that far behind her, but it was still maybe the best compliment i got that year... :)
- edythe
I'm not suicidal, but I think the few years I'd gain by flossing are probably not worth the misery of flossing itself. I HATE flossing.

Car accident or murder for me, or maybe stroke

I've often joked that my last words will be to my wife. Probably something like, "Connie - Don't point that at me, it could be loaded'.

Any clues who wrote it? Do you still have the chain e-mail? My older computer died, and all my old e-mails are on a DVD backup. Too lazy to restore them...

Hutch: Wish I were in shape. Sigh... Started running again & I can only do a few miles. Once upon a time marathons were ok. Time to work up to road race. There was a 75-yr-old guy (now probably 85) who was always faster than me. My goal was to get faster times than him. Also met a guy 100+ who was gunning for the "oldest guy to run a marathon" record. Unfortunately, there was a guy 5 years older who was still running...waiting for that guy to die... :-)
- Mitchell Tsai
Mitch, next time, how about strategically placing a stick on his path.
- Anna Haro
To be 100 y.o. and able to run a marathon. Damn that's tough.
- Hutch Carpenter
My grandmother turned 102 this year. Uncle is 80s and still walks 5 miles around a lake every morning.
- Mitchell Tsai
@HC--Ditto. And this is what inspires me to really be healthy and active. I am 29 and for the first time ever, I am realizing my body has a mind of its own--damn it! But seriously, I would love to be like those older runners, beating people much younger than I, like Mitchell. j/k Mitch ;)
- Anna Haro
In 1992-95, there was a 65-yr-old lady who was like "smoked lightning". Her running times were also better than my fastest-ever times (even my age 18-25 times...) I've been out of running for 10 years, but I'm willing to bet people now are in even-better shape. It's a weird dichotomy. As a population, we're now super-obese (~25-35%) but we also have more super-fit. Maybe like with FriendFeed, the information-junkies can learn even faster...while "joe shmoe" thinks there are 48 states in the US.

When I was 17 and ran four marathons, best time was 3:14, I ran with a 50-year-old woman who ran 100-milers and regularly kicked my ass.
- Robert Scoble
At UCLA in the gymnastics "open gym", I was telling someone the story of how "48% of Americans don't know that England is an island"...and one of my friends said "I think I should take a geography class". I was looking for the nearest hole to crawl into.... :-( The average person (not the IQ 120 UCLA type) is ...very... uninformed & FriendFeed would be totally overwhelming (unlike how it delights the information junkie addicted to reading and learning)...
- Mitchell Tsai
Robert. Cool time! As a former 115 lb high school geek, I was only able to eeek out a 3:54 in the 1994 Los Angeles Marathon. My one & only time running more than 21 miles. There was a super-fat lady who I just passed a mile before the finish line. Embarassing. I could barely run 400m in 60 sec. Best event would have been 800m 2:24 (like a slow female college Div 2 runner). 100m at 14 sec. An Asian with no sprint speed.

Your work is amazing! My favorite is the flower!

Daynah: Wish I could take credit, but these are pictures from other people. My work is all on Google Picasa (or my website).

Saw this a few moments ago, it reminded me of the Twitter fail whale. Maybe at some point in the future once it learns to fly on its own. - http://tebe-interesno.livejournal.com/70440...
That scene in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was just hilarious :D
- Horst Gutmann
in the movie of "Hitchhiker's" anyone know who played the voice of the Whale and the Patunas?
- Noah David Simon
It's from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? Haven't read the book or seen the movie.

I laughed like crazy when I read this in the book. A whale and petunias! Only Douglas Adams could think that up.
- Rahul Das
@Michael Narciso - Tweets would have to be disabled for the fail whale to be that strong.
- exador23
still wondering who was the voice of the whale in the movie. Anyone know? Anyone? this isn't a test. I really want to know the answer..... and it isn't 42
- Noah David Simon
I thought those were stuffed animals at first. What is the story behind these pictures? I assume it has something to do with the earthquake and panda sanctuaries in China.
