Fitbit
Why hasn’t this been done before? Clip this little device to your clothing somewhere and it tracks how many steps and miles you’ve walked and how many calories you’ve burned today. It goes beyond your above average pedometer by being wireless and syncing with a provided basestation when you walk within 25-50 ft of it. Going the extra mile, you can log on to the Fitbit website and view your fitness data in high detail as well as track your food consumption and other activities. You can also collaborate with friends, family, and co-workers to achieve your fitness goals.
Currently, only available for pre-order until the estimated late December, early January release date.

The Book of Lies
A fascinating, but slightly nebulous, concept attempts to create a link between Cain’s murder of Abel and the creation of Superman by Jerry Seigel due to the murder of his father. Mysteries emerge. Conspiracies arise. Nazi’s do what they do. All in an effort to find the lost murder weapon never spoken of in the Biblical account of fratricide.

Boba Fett USB Flash Drive
BOBA FETT!! Does anything else need to be said here. It’s a Boba Fett USB drive. You and I both know you want it. Sure there is C-3PO, Leia, and even Wicket. Seriously, if you buy Wicket when Boba Fett is sitting right there for the taking, there will be a disintegration this time.

Lexington Legends Schedule, iCal Calendar
I put together a quick and dirty Lexington Legends, 2008 Schedule, iCal Calendar for my own use, since I couldn’t find one to download or subscribe. Then I thought I might as well throw it up online and share it so no one else has to make their own. If anyone spots any problems send me a note and I’d be happy to fix it.
