No, La, I wasn't making up a silly fake meteorological phenomenon and calling it 'The Pineapple Express'. I will say though that 'The Jerk Express' was perhaps the funniest thing I've ever heard.

I saw this on gizmodo today, read the details at the philips website, and thought what the heck.

A few years back (that's actually painful to say) I was using Nike+ on a daily basis and I'd pretty much become a runner. And I loved it. After relocating to Seattle and injuring my back, my workout routine has long ago blown out the window and so, here I am, oblong, out of shape, and with large-radius rounded corners. I'm thinking since Nike+ worked well for me, perhaps this will too.

At the moment the back thing isn't bothering me much at all. The problem is all the things that I enjoyed doing, I enjoyed like 40lbs ago. The last thing I want to do is get injured right off the bat.

And speaking of off the bat, I need help picking up the bat and swinging the bat. I've had two years of sitting on my butt in pain and, I've found, sitting on my butt without pain is quite pleasurable and a difficult habit to break.
