Scott Gets Fit

I want a new iPod, and I want to shed some pounds. Now, at first gloss you might think that these two desires are not related, but they are intertwined closer than the snakes on a caduceus.

You see, Apple and Nike have teamed up to create the Nike + iPod which is a doodad that snaps onto your iPod nano and a sensor that slips into your shoe. It tracks how far you have ran, and how long it took you to cover the distance. It also syncs up to some Nike website where you can track your progress and ‘challenge friends,’ which I don’t think I would be doing (the challenging that is).

So, I need to get a new iPod nano and a Nike + iPod sports kit and I will be totally hot, or something. Who’s with me?
