One problem with pro-blogging is that can be unhealthy, especially when you do it from home. I rarely get enough sleep. My breakfast is sometimes lunch. I don’t move around as much as I should and I’m surprised that I don’t have back and eyesight problems! I’ve tried a bit of Live Photo-blogging before and that’s been fun. My Wife is doing a good job of getting me out of the house too but I need to do more. My latest mad idea is to combine work, sport and UMPCs in a new activity called Jog and Blog. I’m sure this will be an Olympic sport in London 2012!
Today, over at Chippys UMPC Moblog, I’m running an experiment. Read all about Jog and Blog here!

Interesting idea. I often use my cycle to work or an evening jog as a time to think over my current work or personal problems (of a technical nature).
I find that thinking about problems that need solving distracts me from the exercise which might otherwise get tiring or feel tedious.
Not sure how I would feel about interrupting my exercise to record something, and theres always the risk of getting too engrossed in the task at hand that you forget to continue exercising in due time.

I’m quite disappointed, Chippy.
A healthy strapping youngster such as yourself has no need to “stop to blog”…
It’s the thumb typing “on the run” that we want to see. Literally!

chippy: you should replace your N82 with something that has a soft keyboard, such as HTC Touch. I know you don’t want to do that, because you’ll then find no need for UMPC. I’ve been using the Touchpal soft keyboard, it is really better than hard keyboard!

@Fixup.
That wouldn’t work i’m afraid due to inferior photo capabilities on nearly all other phones. Also, i’m a big fan of the way that Nokia are going with Ovi. It’s a long way from being usable yet but I can see where their multimedia devices are heading in terms of software and hardware and I really like it.

Thanks. I reached 40 this year though and clocks started ticking!

no problem chippy. i have been pondering the offer that proporta have going for their bag and battery combo:

compartments that can be taken off, ports to run wiring between compartments, and a usb based backup battery for those times when you know you will run out of juice at some point. i would say its a near win/win.

That gadget bag, with wires sticking out, going from one compartment to another, is an absolute guarantee that you’ll be having a long intimate relationship with Mr Homeland Security high-school drop-out goon, on your next visit to any public transportation site.

Interesting content. I bookmarked your site. I’m searching for other pages that have an audience that would find value from a new page of mine on sleep problems. Let me know if you would like to exchange some posts or reviews. I figure we could both get value.
