Sonos - A Wireless Music System

        Sorry i've been so tech heavy lately but there has just been so many awesome things happening in the tech world recently!  Anyway I have one more neat tech device to share with you.  It's called a sonos wireless music system.  With Sonos you can play music in different rooms of your house in sync and control it from your computer or phone or normal remote.  I'm sorry I know I'm not doing a very good job at explaining this it does way more and is more advanced than just that, you don't even have to own that much of your own music because you can use internet radio services like Pandora, Spotify and more!  If you have a minute check it out it is a really cool way to enjoy music throughout rooms of your house.

Take control!

Earthships - An Eco-Friendly Home Solution

        Did you ever think you could live in a house of trash?  Well, you can live in a house made from recycled materials like cans, bottles, and old tires, anything that could make a wall or foundation.  These earthships are very eco-friendly and can use their own electricity, from stored up energy from solar panels and wind turbines installed on the roof, house or lawn.

        These buildings are very architecturally unique and very durable and sustainable.  And the earthships aren't just a house.  They are designed to also provide a way to grow some plants or vegetables in their green house like areas built off the home.  Take a look at one of these creative earthships and a floor plan (below).

To The >>>>>MAXIMUM

        This morning I ran 6 miles.  It's the most mileage I've done since my 2nd day, which was about 5 - 5 1/2.  This is the start of my 3rd week, so I think I'm off with good mileage.  My guess for approx. the total amount of miles by now would be somewhere around 45 miles, maybe slightly more, maybe slightly less!  We always do more than 3 miles and most days it's between 4 and 4 1/2, and at least once a week we go more than 5, on a longer run!
