I have been enjoying our discussions around Magento and other g33k stuffs in the past year. I’m sure we’ll keep the action going in 2011.

I just started using
http://www.worksmartlabs.com/cardiotrainer/about.php but it pretty much does the lot for tracking your exercises. So you really only need a new phone…

Uncanny, I had the Garmin 305 bookmarked. I shall go ahead with it on the back of your recommendation!

Thanks for the mention too, likewise, great to meet you too! Took a bit of last-ditch communicado but glad it all turned out well.

Funny you’d mention the XX (were we separated at birth by any chance?) they recently popped in my Spotify list and it’s right up my sleeve too. Got to go see them live at some stage this year.

As far as GPS trackers go, combine it with a heart rate monitor and go for the Garmin 305. We used to sell Polar but Garmin seems to have taken over pole position in this area, especially if you need/want GPS. Bought this unit a few weeks back for a new hire of ours as a X-Mas prezzie. Amazon is full of praise for this and you can pick up a bargain now its successor has been launched (which doesn’t warrant the extra cash IMO – unless you swim with it).

Comes with good software but – you’ll like this – there is some freeware out there which apparently is even better, integrates with Google Earth etc. Tech-gadgets like that will help you get that marathon ticked off this year (and get you in shape to fit your wedding dress 🙂 )

Anyways, thanks for posting insightful stuff on Magento and web dev/tech in general. It’s the only Mage source outside the official site I consistently follow and so far it’s all I need! Bring on Mage 2.0 I’d say 🙂 Or even 1.5 seems to finally make a lot of sense feature-wise.

Looking forward to what you’ll be offering!
