15,000 Steps a day

When I decided to walk, I started with a goal of 10,000 steps a day. Now that the weather in the midwest is cooperating and day light savings time is in effect, I have extended my goal to 15,000 steps a day.

BlackBerry Storm

I found a great application for my BlackBerry Storm.

Flycast (http://www.flycast.fm/FlyCastHOME.aspx)

Let's you play your favorite internet radio through your device. Be sure you have an unlimited data plan or it could get costly. Also set your "Sounds" to vibrate or it will cut out when you receive an e-mail.

Probably not as cool as an I phone, but it has been great for me.
