Sorry about the delay. Here is a look at the newsletter from work called Cross Reference about the t26mc. Written by my coworker Donna Davis (thanks Donna!!!).
Cool.
Personal Trainer: Walking
There is a game available for the Nintendo DS called Personal Trainer: Walking that came out earlier this year. The game, a term that should be used loosely, allows you to track your walking information by using the two Activity Meter accessories that come with the game. Basically, the Activity Meter is a pedometer.
I saw this earlier and thought about purchasing it but for $50 is was a bit expensive. Amazon has it on sale right now for $19.98 so with a few dollars shipping I couldn’t pass it up. Should be interesting to see exactly how it works.
Right now I don’t have any long distance walks planned but come Spring time I think I’ll be walking a lot more. In the mean time I think I’ll use this to see how many steps I take at work and stuff like that. I’ll post further details once I get the game.

And a funny/goofy video promoting it.
Arboretum 2
Also while we were walking around at the arboretum we saw this Banded Woolly Bear caterpillar. I was testing out the macro mode of the camera for the first time. You can see how it focuses on the street sometimes rather than the caterpillar. I need to use it more to figure out the optimum distance so that the macro mode works as its supposed to.
