Last week I stumbled upon this new gps sport watch: Garmin Forerunner 405. Forerunner 405 continuously monitors your time, distance, pace, calories and heart rate. Definitely looks interesting for any runners who are also gadget freaks like me :)<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Mo4vF40WQpE/R-gYbnDKZWI/AAAAAAAAAAU/5z3opczl1HQ/s1600-h/gmf405hr.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Mo4vF40WQpE/R-gYbnDKZWI/AAAAAAAAAAU/5z3opczl1HQ/s320/gmf405hr.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181418233907537250" border="0" /></a><br />I have owned the predecessor Garmin Forerunner 201 for a couple years now, and it has been a <span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">faithful companion on training runs, or when I'm riding my bike.</span></span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Mo4vF40WQpE/R-gXJnDKZVI/AAAAAAAAAAM/6ksOw10WTe0/s1600-h/201.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Mo4vF40WQpE/R-gXJnDKZVI/AAAAAAAAAAM/6ksOw10WTe0/s320/201.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181416825158264146" border="0" /></a></div><br />The 201 looks pretty bulky compared to the sleek 405. Here is a little preview of the 405 functionality: <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/iUtuleaDlj4&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/iUtuleaDlj4&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><br />The 405 is expected to be released in 2nd quarter 2008, but it is already available for preorder here: <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/noneyet0a4-20/detail/B0011UIXNE/102-1853696-1776121">http://astore.amazon.com/noneyet0a4-20/detail/B0011UIXNE/102-1853696-1776121</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5206268796585769653-4625746616087656567?l=gerhard75.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Gerhardnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206268796585769653.post-19809209794453096922008-03-24T06:31:00.000-07:002008-03-24T06:50:12.686-07:00I honestly don't know if anyone is going to be reading this blog, but I figured I'll write abit about me anyway. I'm a 32 years old guy, working as a farmer. I didn't start using computers until recently, but I quickly hooked. My dream is to one day make a living, working as a computer programmer(or something else computer related), however unrealistic that may be... I've been a farmer for 14 years now, and I don't have any education past high school. Working as a farmer means long, hard working days, and the work gets pretty repetitive after while. I've also started developing mild allergy and asthma, which make me sneeze and breath heavily when working with cows.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5206268796585769653-1980920979445309692?l=gerhard75.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Gerhardnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206268796585769653.post-84846746250242665812008-03-24T06:29:00.000-07:002008-03-24T06:30:21.054-07:00Hello World!<br /><br />This is my first entry to this blog.<br />Hope this works.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5206268796585769653-8484674625024266581?l=gerhard75.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Gerhardnoreply@blogger.com0
