Comment on Solid State Drive: The Best Upgrade You Can Buy by samuelk

So far so good for mine, too. And thanks for convincing me to look into solid state drives!

I actually put one in my work laptop, and it made a world of difference.

I’m going on two years on my first SSD and it’s still going strong. Make my laptop fly even with an underpowered processor. I’ve been warned that some time in the future my SSD will begin to degrade, but I can’t notice a single difference 24 months in. Fingers crossed for no SSD issues going forward.

We’ve had it for about 3 weeks. It’s the 32 GB 3G version. I’ve also been hearing rumors of a 2nd generation iPad…also talk of smaller versions as well. Who knows?

Thanks for the compliments about the yard. There’s not much more we can do in the front yard; the back yard still needs work, though.

And I didn’t even know you had an iPad! Is yours 3G? I’m hearing rumors of a refresh, I may have to wait until the second gen comes along.

Yard is looking great, BTW. Nice job, folks!

I used your playlist this morning, and it definitely rocks.

Congrats on the progress, guys. I find that I can’t really run and listen to music or a podcast at the same time. In fact, I really love to wear cheap 15 cent ear plugs. I can sort of hear myself (blood pumping, heavy breathing, etc) and that makes me feel like a running machine. In some weird way, it motivates.

BUT – I did have a functional (and completely cliched) playlist I used to exercise to and I list it below as a primer for you:

Don’t Stop Believin’ – Journey
The Distance – Cake
Here It Goes Again – Ok Go
Wonderful Night – Fatboy Slim
Flathead – Fratellis
Just What I Needed – Cars
Pump It – Black Eyed Peas
In the End – Linkin Park
Take a Chance – Magic Numbers
Take Me Out – Franz Ferdinand
Don’t Bring Me Down – ELO
Crabbuckit – K-OS
Do Ya – ELO

and my ‘Power Song’ was always:

Eye of the Tiger – Survivor

Ridiculous yet oddly successful.

Enjoy the runs, Sam and Cary! Check the http://www.runnc.com race schedule for upcoming 5ks. I want to see your names on those results lists!!

Comment on Sneaky Cookies by Creole Ned

I like the concept of this book but the chocolate peanut butter cookies look like road apples. Delicious road apples, I’m sure!
