MaemoMapper Update for Nokia IT

MaemoMapper, by far my favorite app on my N800 has just gotten an update that overlays Google Traffic data on maps. Often when I have to go somewhere I check the google traffic to see if the GWB is backed up or the GCP. But that required either starting up the browser or using the Garnet VM for the google maps app in the Palm emulation. Now I can just fire up my mapper program and be done with it.

Now if I could get a bluetooth DUN profile having phone to tether too.

Older Athletes kicking tail

Count me in the contingent of "older" people who are not allowing our relatively advanced age slow us down. We have the 40 year old mother, Dara Torres who beats most swimmers half her age. We have yesterday that victory of the 32 year old swimmer, Lezak, who overcame a deficit to win gold in the 400 relay. What's the secret?

I'll tell you. We eat well. We understand that technique will help us overcome what we may be losing in sheer muscle power. We are more mature and therefore we can keep those emotions in check so that we don't break form. It's about understanding and working with your limits.

Scared by Cyclists

So the NY Times has an article on the rise of Cycling and the mental problems that have arisen. Here's one paragraph that defies logic:

“Mention the noon riders to anyone in town and you’ll see the blood pressure go up,” said Susan George, Woodside’s town manager. One day, she said, she rounded a bend and came upon them: “I slammed on the brakes and they swarmed around me, screaming and yelling obscenities. My heart was pounding. It was very scary.”

Scared by cyclists? Is she serious? Exactly WHAT threat did the bikes pose to her? No, seriously. She and her 2 ton vehicle was the threat.

Edwards

I'm just going to say that Edwards is lying about the baby not being his. Seriously folks, why was he at a hotel at 2 AM?
