This week I started the Beach Body Insanity Workout. After the first day I knew this must be one heck of a workout because even the preliminary fit-test was a REAL workout!

Here’s a great tutorial on changing the location of the folder that iTunes uses to backup iPhones/iPods/iPad.

As part of my bought and sold series of blog entries, here is a copy of my eBay auction for the the Raon Digital UMPC S60H Ultra Mobile Personal Computer.
