Rotterdam IV

Bought a pair of Adidas running shoes over the weekend. It's about time, since my Nike Skylon was literally falling apart after 5 years and I really needed to get rid of the no-shoe excuse to procrastinate from running. My New Balance 1023 was also 1/2 size too small, resulting in awfully painful toes after 5 minutes of running/walking.

It has ClimaCool to keep your feet cool and Pro-Moderator to prevent over-pronation, even though I am flat-footed, I don't over-pronate, at least judging from the wear pattern of my shoes. Anyway, I'll be fitting in my support insoles.

Take a look! Gimme your comments if you have any.

Aztech V500DS

Skype Gear has this review of the dual-mode Skype0DECT combo from Aztech. Interested parties can approach me.

As with all Skype ‘dual mode’ phones, this phone gives you the choice of either using Skype or your regular phone line to make calls. If you have more than one handset, you can even use Skype to make a call whilst your son/mother-in-law/partner/cat/goldfish is calling using the landline.

One inaccuracy though. The phone in the picture and the description in the article is actually a HS315-S1, which uses a USB dongle attached to the PC installed with Skype software. The V500DS has Skype built-in.

Here's the press release.
