Apple iPad is...

smaller than a MacBook and bigger than an iPod Touch. Price is high but like everything else Apple sells the price will go down after the initial surge of the first production iPads. No contract is a slight improvement but to make things right they need to dump AT&T. 64GB for $829...not sold on it but maybe in a year. Part of me thinks this will be as big as the Apple TV....exactly.

Just what I needed...

An ass whooping on the Gateway ride to get my head back on track with cycling. An easy ride up to Carter Lake but on the way back it was muy dificil and fast. We hit a small climb halfway home that caused enough of a leg breaker to split the large group into 3 small groups and who knows how many blown out the back. I could not make the 2nd group with all my teammates so I had to settle for the 3rd group about 50 yards in the rears. The lead group contained all the 'real' pros, my teammate Drew and my good friend Campie. I was able to bridge up to the 2nd group which for me at this time of year and with how much skiing I've done instead of cycling was a HUGE accomplishment...HUGE. I was pretty much riding on the edge of my seat taking pulls full throttle on the verge of getting dropped in the 2nd group. This effort was my first serious effort of the year and damn it was fun. I will be in that first group come end of Feb. I'm looking forward to really training and getting a lot more days on my skis. I actually think tele skiing has helped my power. I may not have the endurance or top-end speed yet but I sure as hell have some power. This could be a really fun year.
