Nike+iPod
Picked up some new shoes last week, as well as a Nike+ sensor and Mike’s old iPod nano. Best feeling pair of shoes I’ve ever run in. Its like walking on the moon.

Very cool to be able to track progress and improvement (maybe). Lets just hope I keep it up.

And the US Treasury is prepared to give them another $30 billion.

Crises precipitate change
With the economy the way it is and states running out of money, they’re looking to new ways to create revenue, including the legalization and taxation of marijuana:
Betty Yee, chairwoman of the California Board of Equalization, the state’s tax collector, said that legal marijuana could raise nearly $1 billion per year via a $50-per-ounce fee charged to retailers. An additional $400 million could be raised through sales tax on marijuana sold to buyers.
