A blog I follow (Jim Lefevre) led me to this article. I am not sure how to react, but there is something about this that screamed "disruptive technology". I will be spending some time trying to find out more. http://mobihealthnews.com/949/iphone-30-all-about-mhealth/

Lemonade Machine Discovered

It's one of the more over used idioms, " You have to make lemonade from the lemons". Well now they have found the elusive lemonade machine.

From an article in the Boston Globe, perhaps it can help someone:

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.

This article talks about 100 steps a minute for moderate exercise.

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.

I added the WalkMe widgit to my blog. It is a neat off shoot of Microsoft's HealthVault. It needs a little more work, but it is the best application I have found to track my steps. I hope the count is correct.
