I've recently fallen in love with eBay; Not in a big romantic way, just a subtle crush that sends me scurrying off to check my bids every half an hour.

My latest (and greatest) purchase is a Polar M32 Heart rate Monitor, with a soft band strap and funky wrist monitor. It has all types of funky technology, even letting me know when I'm training in my optimum heart rate zone. My zone! Wicked.

It arrived this morning, and just after tearing it from the box I hastily put it on and pushed the buttons til I got something that looked like a heart pulse on the wristwatch. I don't know if it's mine. I hope it is. Since then, I've been doing all sorts of things to see what my heart rate does.

Just sitting here, coding in basic PHP keeps my heart rate around 72 bpm. Shell scripting usually boosts it to 74 bpm, but whenever I have to send a fax, my heart rate zooms through the roof and zips up to 85 bpm!

I need to get fit! Send me more faxes! Abandon the tree-friendly email! FAX ME!!!
Feel that body burn!!!
