this is from RunKeeper. at the time of the hike, the map wasn't there, but it was still able to plot a course because it could get GPS. once we were back in AT&T range it was able to download the map underlay.
nice little hike; but I am *not* used to altitude. my home in SLC is at ~4700 FT, and that is fine for me, but I'm a city boy and not used to climbing up mountains at more than double that altitude. if the hike had been flat I'd have been alright, but still probably would have noticed the air thinness. see post below for altitude reading from another iPhone app.
because the app doesn't store maps locally on the phone, and we were out of AT&T service range, we could get GPS data but no map fill-in
Despite what the guy at the local coffee shop Mestizo says, I'm not sure everyone is an artist. I definitely don't consider myself one. But I made this drawing on my iPhone and I think it's pretty neat.

Just found formspring.me a service that lets one ask questions of anyone with a page, or set up a page and answer questions. I just set up an account. Widget:
So why don't you leave a message? Yes, without picking up the phone OR having the fear of actually having to speak to me, you can click the nifty little widget below and leave a message for me. Make sure to say something nice.
Oops. Turns out this works completely differently from how I thought it did. You will need a cell or landline phone, and no mic or headset is necessary. I can't tell if that's more or less convenient for the average reader of this post. My guess is "less".
This is a fantastic concept and I give major kudos to the person or team who chose the name 'White Goat'. My main question is the comfort-level of the toilet paper that results. I don't think Charmin' has anything to worry about just yet, unless perhaps the machine adds a step in which some sort of organic solvent is incorporated to soften the paper. I will say this: When shredding isn't enough, shred and flush is certainly a big step towards total protection of sensitive data.
