Hey check this out! I found this today. It’s a Bamboo iphone case that you can get etched with a design of your creation. Check out the site it’s pretty cool. Although with the new iPhone coming out soon I know I’ll have to wait. Be on the look out for a dport7 branded iPhone case on the streets by the end of the summer. The company is called grove and I have to hand it to them I like this.
So here’s the think I like the new WordPress situation we have going on here. Although I do have one major complaint. The spam in the comments is out of control. Someone fix this please. ( I say that knowing I’m the one that has to do the fixing) needed to vent.

Washington DC…… The political epicenter of our nation. Kate and I visited this weekend to not only see a few of our friends, but to enjoy the spectacle that is DC. I’ve only been there once before when I was maybe 12 or so. I know I saw just about everything but the memories like so many from that age are faded. The main objective of the trip was to go to Jen and Wayne’s engagement party outside DC somewhere in Maryland. We drove down on friday after work (in the A4 company car…..fancy! (yes I’m bragging)) and arrived in DC at about 11:30 or so. When driving to DC especially downtown avoid the traffic circles. Listen I lives in Savannah for 4 years and mastered the navigation around circles and squares. DC has going out of there way to make this experience not only frustrating but nearly impossible. I can’t even describe what’s it’s like. I can’t help but think it maybe some clever metaphor for the inane inner workings of our own federal government just a few blocks away.
Saturday we went’s sight seeing with Jen and out friends Jon (jew) and Danielle. I of course wanted to go to the Air asnd Space Museum being that it is filled with awesome. We saw the Spirit Of St. Louis and the Space Capsule ‘s that the Astronauts come back to Earth in. I didn’t want to bore everyone else to much so after we saw the Space Monkey (creepy picture below) we moved out to the Mall for a little frisbee. Then we headed to the American History Museum filled with what I would describe as pop culture history.
Anyway not to bore you just check out the pictures below.
On sunday like I said we went out to the engagement party and it was truly lovely. As you know I grew up Catholic and Jen and Wayne are Jewish. So just hanging out with everyone and hearing the prayers, toasts and what not was really interesting. Everyone was super nice and even though it was a lot of family I didn’t feel all weird and out of place. (normally I do).
In other news the Mad Men Recap has continued to be a powerhouse of success. What’s the secret you ask? Big John Diehl is the secret. The listeners love this guy. The best part and this is true. Several listeners have written us asking if Dr. John is really Jon Hamm. WOW!
creepiest thing ever

So hello from Savannah! Things have been out of control the entire time. Are we having fun? Yes!

My friends the sweet taste of vacation is closing in on me. Friday morning Kate and i will be returning to birth place of our union, a place we can for some reason only remember fondly. Savannah Georgia. We are making what as become our yearly spring time trip down south to help our friend BVA celebrate his birthday. The extra bonus for us is that we get so see a few old friends from our college days. Days that both Kate and I miss horribly .
The only thing that I’m not looking forward to on this trip is falling off the wagon. Yes, with the triathlon closing in on us I’ve been much much better with what I’m eating and more importantly what I’m drinking. Last weekend saw me complete my 4 mile run in 34 min. Significant progress from only a few weeks ago when I was running it at an embarrassing 48 min. As a side note: After I completed with my new faster time Tiger Woods’s (yes the Tiger Woods) voice came across my headphones to congratulate me on running my fastest mile. I’m not sure how to feel about this. I mean Tiger is in good shape and my guess is the guy can run a mile much faster than me. The tone of his voice seemed a bit too eager to congratulate. I’m not saying he was making a pass at me, I’m almost certain he was making a pass at the mannish looking lady that was in the sound booth recording this inspirational message. Don’t get me wrong though I’m glad he’s taken a personal interest in me.
I’m trying to navigate the Nike Plus site so I can share my progress… now that i have progress. Check out this link see if you can make any sense out of it. Forgive me if i miss a few days my record breaking run seemed to hurt my right knee. Not the joint just what feels to be the muscles on the outside of the knee. No worry I consulted Dr. John and he gave me some stretches to do to hopefully put me back on track.

Hey hope everyone had a Happy Easter!!!! We sure did! A bunch of us went to Prospect Park for an Easter hang out. Kate made the best ham ever, along with a crazy good potato salad and some other delicious additions we had the best brooklyn easter ever. Thanks to everyone who came out.
So what happened Saturday you ask? Well Jew Schulman came to visit with his lovely girl friend. Notice picture below she doesn’t like her picture taken and well of course Jon loves it. I got a new red jacket and a new tan suit for Easter.
I think I’m far too tired to be writing this post. Ran my 4 miles tonight. It really tuckers me out. I’am continuing to make progress although I’ve plateau at 38min. I still have time but I’d love to get my time down to the low 30′s by race day.
anyway enjoy the pics.

Hello all you new yorkers…… Can you believe that this used to be Coney Island in 1905? All right I didn’t grow up in the city so maybe I don’t understand the true magic of Coney Island. As far as I can tell it’s the place God forgot. I mean have you been there in the last 20 years. I’ve been out there a few times and I always swear I’ll never return. The beach is full of mutants (i’m being kind) and people that don’t know any better (tourist and such). When I stumble upon pictures like this for some reason it fills me with anger. Why did I miss this? Why couldn’t this survive instead of that stupid roller coster. Granted I’m sure this wasn’t built to last in the first place but it’s still seems unbelievable that it’s was in the crap dungeon that is Coney Island today. When, why, and how did everything become so unbelievably run down in the city. The airports are like a 3 world counties bus station. The subways look as if they were built on a dare. For being the richest most powerful city in the world (i have no facts to back that up) it’s really all fallen apart. Anyway I found this pic on a great site I’m sure you’ll enjoy called Shorpy lots of early century pics really fascinating and hi rez.

hey paul I thought now that you had the netMacNbook the new posts were going to show up early and often? Let me make my excuse. So this past week saw me spending most of my time in Cincinnati Ohio for work. Sadly that brought no time or energy to run. Although I did get to see big john diehl which was great. The plane ride back infected me with a soul crushing body distroying cold. It hit really hard on friday and I’ve been unable to move since. This has got me down because last weekend I really hit my stride. Lot’s of running coupled with a fair amount of progress. I feel now as if I have lost as week and have been set back. My body is quick to tighten back up into it’s old lazy ways. Today (sunday) i’m just well enough to write this post but not much else. Stay tuned with any luck I can log a few more miles next weekend.
Now, Jew has asked that i update on the netMacNbook. Well, let me say it’s still working perfect. I’ve since done a few video ichat’s to check out the camera. They went great. My parents came to town and wanted one of their own so I have ordered and received another. The only thing is the new one we got has a dead pixel so it’s on hold until I can find out if dell will replace it. I have to be honest I do tend to worry about doing these for other people. Although the process is simple I worry that if there is a problem it may be a bit more work to solve than a normal computer glitch. Either way I’m still completely happy with mine, well the track pad is still crap but what can you do.

so the pumas were a bust right? so I went over to nike town on 5th ave and got myself a pair of those nike plus shoes. Why? Well, they have a little bean type thing that you put into the sole of the shoe and then plug another little device into the bottom port of an ipod nano. This allows you to record everything about your run. Time, distance, calories burned, pace,ect. It is great! The only thing confusing me is how after running 4 miles it says I only took 61 steps. I think I need to calibrate it or something. Now we can all follow along with my running progress. I’ll start posting links as soon as I get the nike site figured out. It’s a bit of information over load so give me some time. Get excited. I tried to get the least ugly running shoes I could. I wouldn’t say I failed, but I wouldn’t say I succeeded either.
