Apple has released Video iPods! Just as I was excited to buy a nano, now gotta switch gears and get me a video iPod, I don't think it is the real ticket, they were more moving to sell videos through iTunes 6. I can't wait till they sign with NBC and The Office is available, I love that show.

I have an addiction to apple, especially their iPods. I had (have but broke) a 3g 10gig, shuffle and mini, but I still want a nano and a video iPod! It's like drugs, they feed you little bits and then bam!! you gotta have everything that they give you all at once.

Back to bike racing, I hope the weather holds up thru this weekend for the final race at Plattekill. I always liked that course, I hope it is the one that starts at the bottom and climbs all the way to the top. The course at the top is ok, but usually in October wearing bike gear on the lift is way too friggin cold. And what if I forget something?
