A Splash of Color

The ColorSplash app turns your photos black and white and then lets you color in whatever you want. This picture is from our wedding (thanks Kevin Keelan!) I made the obvious choice of what to color here, but I'll play around with some less obvious choices.

Running

I blogged last November about how using Runkeeper on my iPhone might make me exercise more. Now it's working. This week I ran three times, the last two over 3 miles! Here's my latest run.

I am now officially in 5K shape. Well I guess I need to run another .08 miles but I can probably manage that without walking or throwing up.

"Scribble" is an iPhone app that allows you to doodle. I am very proud of this drawing which took me about 20 seconds to make:

You can also doodle on pictures in your photo gallery. Here is what Milo would look like with some fancy facial hair, a top hat and spectacles.

Exercise, meet Technology

I downloaded the free RunKeeper app for the iPhone because the Buffalo Bills lost another game they should have won. I wonder if that makes sense to anyone.

What this app does is track your location while you do any sort of activity (walk, run, cycle) and compile statistics which get uploaded to the runkeeper website. I tried it out for the first time today on my walk with Lilo. Here's what you see when you go to the website:

Pretty cool. The blue line on the bottom tracks the speed and the green line is elevation. And that is the exact route we took. It may be silly, but I am much more motivated to exercise when I can come home and look at my stats.

Apparently a 2.44 mile walk makes Lilo tired:

start this blog.
