Quick updates 7/5

Alright, since I haven't posted in a while, here are some quick updates:

Evernote count: I've cleared the 1,000 note mark on Evernote! That's a lot of notes if you ask me... which means I may have to do a little bit of spring cleaning soon. I have 77 different tags in use right now, so I may have to consolidate that into a more manageable list.

Twitter organizer: Progress on my Twitter organizer has stalled a bit. I thought I was close to creating a nice view of useful tweets from my feed but I can't seem to filter out the "junk" tweets. If only I could have someone curate my Twitter feed for me ... Oooh, new idea, post a job listing on Amazon's Mechanical Turk and pay someone pennies a day to filter my Twitter feed for me.

Tri Toys Wish List: I finally picked up the Garmin Forerunner 310XT! I've been running with it for the past few weeks and I've slowly begun accumulating workout data on it. The 310XT should be the perfect companion to my PowerTap in collecting raw data from my training sessions. I must confess though, I don't think I'm getting the best usage out of this data since I don't analyze it as much as I should to learn stuff from it. Like I've said before, I love collecting data but I don't like analyzing it. I'll scan it for obvious trends and patterns, but I won't necessarily run comparisons between various sessions looking for key drop off points or other problem areas. I should probably start doing that though to get the most 'bang for my buck', both in terms of money spent on these fun toys and in time spent while training.

Summertime

Summer is here and the sun has been shining so brightly outside I'm finding it hard to spend too much time indoors, which explains the lack of blog posts lately. I'll try to post some quick updates here and there to keep my blog alive, but I can't promise too much!
