iPod Touch does it on the train

So how does one write a blog when you no longer have daily 
unrestricted access to the Internet? well recently I was persuaded to  purchase an iPod Touch. Well in all honesty after Steve J. announced  that the new version would allow for the email, maps and widgets and  in a month 3rd party legal software, it was a given.

It isn't the cheapest mp3 player in the world, and yes you are stuck  to using iTunes for you music collection, but all the music in 505 was  in iTunes already. Hege has spent the last 3 months (we have around  500) ripping every cd and finding cover art. This, because 505 is dj'd  by a sonos, which I will get into another day, but in short it is  litterally amazing.

But back to the case at hand, I am typing this now as I sit in a train  and the verdict? As close to perfect as it could be, it does what you  need and it honestly does it brilliantly and that's before you start  playing music or videos (not my beloved divx though). It is honestly  an incredible little wonder.

I just got a Nokia N95 8GB for work, so we will see which of the two  win in the long run, but without being overly bias, I think my "fun"  time will be spent on the touch and I am quit ok with that .

Coffee and Crisps

I like the fact that some of the baristas who work at Estate know that I like my croissants on the softer side, in the early morning it's a large latte, in the afternoon a rooibos tea or a chai latte. I really like that all their milk is organic, that they give you a small chocolate with every drink and that it varies depending on what you order. They know what they are doing at Estate and they do it well, very, very well indeed. And having one of the best baristas know your coffee habits isn't a bad thing. Surely an innocent latte can't do you any harm? Surely!

Well we have started detoxing in apartment 505. I think over the last 3 years or so, we have been eating rather healthy. But not well enough and it isn't just food, we changed our toothpaste for one that doesn't contain titanium, non-aluminium deodorants and paraben free soaps and creams. It is quite scary when you look into what we actually do to ourselves just by living and how much of it can be stopped, if we just spend a few extra minutes reading the contents of what we buy.

So coffee has been killed, the first week was full of headaches because of it and since that I know it isn't a bad thing to quit. Rooibos with honey for me thanks, Estate does those too and all organic to boot.

As for crisps? We have switched to grapes for 3 weeks now instead of candy and chips and yes, this is just the beginning.
