Best comment ever.

Seriously, go to Ting's web site and check out the pricing. You pick how many minutes, texts, and data you want. If you plan on only using data on your smartphone when you're on wifi, you can do that. We joined Ting about a month ago and couldn't be happier. Our monthly phone bill has plummeted even though we upgraded from feature phones to smartphones (dumping Verizon along the way). You can see the pricing options at https://ting.com/plans

I used my iPad to make the treadmill less of a bore during the cold winter months. I was able to watch youtube videos and listen to music easily; it almost made the "dreadmill" bearable. Now that it's getting warmer I'm back to running outside as often as I can. But I don't dread running on the treadmill anymore.

Another shoutout for fluxbox. I've used it for years - even after trying out E17. E17 looked like it could be nice ... someday. That was 3 years ago! Honestly, does anyone actually expect E17 to be released? Fluxbox has an even smaller footprint, is easily customizable, and is simple.
