Apple and Nike working together

Nike just came out with a shoe that syncs with your iPod Nano to record the distance traveled, calories burned, and other workout statistics while you're running. This information is stored in the iPod, which can then be downloaded to your computer so that you can track your workout history. A great new use for the iPod! Although, I'm still more likely to buy a GPS receiver before I buy an iPod.

Hooray for Mothers

There was an interesting article posted on Reuters about how much a stay-at-home mom would make based on what she does around the house. They calculated the figure based on its relation to ten types of jobs: housekeeper, day-care teacher, cook, computer operator, laundry machine operator, janitor, facilities manager, van driver, chief executive and psychologist. Based on the study, the average stay-at-home mom would make a salary of $134,121. Not bad. However, I think that in comparison to the good that they do for society as a whole, that estimate is low.

My mom is a stay-at-home mom, so maybe I'm a little biased in my viewpoint. But she has done so much good for our family, taking the roles of the ten types of jobs listed above and even more! Happy Mother's Day (a week early)!
