Door gym

So we just got the wicked cool Door Gym in our apartment. This has got to have one of the highest cool-to-complexity ratios ever (ie very cool and so simple). You literally just put it through your door frame and once in position you can hang your whole weight from it. The device just stays there on its own weight and it’s shape. I’ve been slacking off on the physical activity side lately, but I think having this thing right on my door will be great motivation.

Oh yea, it also is great for pushups and situps when you put it on the floor.

GotVoice?

January 7th, 2007 – 3:55 pm

Have you ever had an awesome voicemail you’ve wanted to download? Or maybe you just wished you could keep better track of your messages from multiple phones all in one place. Well, those were both me and I found an amazing free service called GotVoice. You basically enter you phone’s information, and automagically the site checks for messages up to 3 times a day, downloads the messages into mp3s, and e-mails you with any messages you’ve gotten.

This solves the three problems above very well. 1) You can download any of those “keeper messages” to your hard drive 2) If you have an organized e-mail system, you can simply treat your voice messages as part of your inbox and track them like you do your e-mails 3) If you have multiple phones, you no longer need to keep checking multiple phones.

The service is ad supported. They do ask for some marketing info and they include an ad in the e-mail (pretty smart) they send as well as put ads on the site. They also have premium service levels if you want them to check your messages more times per day and get some other cool features.

I’m excited. One of the most useful sites I’ve found in a while.
