Cheering On Your Path

Your alarm goes off at six a.m. It’s a good day for a run, so you tie your laces and step out the door. The first steps work out the morning stiffness but you start to hit your stride, and soon you’ve reached your route’s first hill. Your legs are beginning an early burn. Then through your…

Big update to Path today — their first API partner, Nike. Right now, you can push your running data to Path and soon you’ll be able to pull in data right from the FuelBand. 

Something else awesome: when people see you’re running they can take action to virtually “cheer” you along the way. If you have your headphones in, you’ll hear a cheer.

These types of real-world integrations show a glimpse of the huge potential for the service as a platform. A fully mobile platform.

Path 2.1 also has some great updates to the Music and Photo features. Find it in the App Store here. 

Disclosure: CrunchFund is an investor in Path — because it’s awesome and we invest in awesome things.

Cheers, anyone??? Want some claps and cheers in there at mile 7 or so..

Tanlines - “All of Me”

Don’t mind me. I’m just sending some fun pop your way. This stupid song has been stuck in my head all day. Can you just go ahead and release the album already, Tanlines? I can’t wait another two weeks or so. I’m impatient and just wanna dance to cheesy synth sounds. NOW.

I’d love to run to this! Tan lines yeahhhh

Probably the biggest change is going to come from the changed definition of what we’re reading. More and more, texts will evolve the way Wikipedia entries evolve; the idea of a finished text, where all the words have been locked down, will start to seem a little less orthodox—something you’d expect from a novel, but not from a magazine article, say. And that open-endedness will likely mean that the reader is capable of participating, adding links, commenting, suggesting new avenues for exploration, fact-checking. So we’ll have to read in an even more focused way, I suspect, knowing that we can have a say in where the text eventually goes. So there you go: ebooks and digital text are keeping us from skimming and forcing us to engage with the text more directly. Who would have thought it?
