1000
10-30-2008

1000 miles since April 2007. A thousand miles running on trails, sidewalks and roads in Bellingham, Orlando, Las Vegas, Seattle and more, baby.

This last weekend I hit that pretty cool milestone. Using my Nike+ system with my Nano, I have kept pretty meticulous track of my mileage. I was about the 8,614th 1000-miler on nikeplus.com.

But this coming weekend, daylight savings is going into effect, and just like last year, it is about time I scale back my mileage. I need to heal a couple of muscles and get a couple of massages.

It’s good timing, because I have a pretty busy month ahead of me: Michigan and Orlando, Thanksgiving and a bunch of happenings at work.

Why Does Sarah Palin Hate American Eyeglass Manufacturers?
10-03-2008

As you can see, Japanese eyeglass designer Kazuo Kawasaki is grateful to Sarah Palin for the publicity. Her Rimless eyeglasses are all the rage.

Masunaga Optical Manufacturing, based in Fukui, usually makes 12,000 MP-704 glasses in a year and a half. Thanks to Palin, it has already received 9,000 global orders, mostly from the U.S., in the last 10 days, says Masunaga store chief Akira Nagayama. – AP

What? She couldn’t find some American glasses that she liked? ;)
