Vero Telecom VR-6600P
Hans has an update on some new Vero Telecom (VGC) products including the VR-6600P that looks a lot like a Yaesu FTM-350.
Whatever happened to their UV-X5 tri-bander? Maybe it ended up as this?

What kind of runner?
What kind of runner are you? I am 100% a "Focused Goal Race" runner:
"You have your eyes on one race for the season, and nothing is going to stop you from getting there. The only race you may sign up for between now and then is a race to use as a training run, but there is no way you are going to race it. You need to save your energy for your speed workout in a couple of days. You have every run and workout written out in a calendar or training plan for the next 4 months. Each workout is meticulously calculated, and you make sure your GPS reflects the correct mileage after each run. It’s your goal race or bust – no ifs, ands, or buts about it."

ITIL
What is ITIL? My take... a long, long list of very similar vocabulary terms with a lot of overlap. I'm not saying that it isn't useful. I do think a common vocabulary can be very helpful, but there is a reason everyone I talk to says that they only do ITIL-Lite.

Phablet
Demand is growing for Phablets in Asia. I didn't even know what a Phablet was.

Value of Life
Bruce's article led me to Wikipedia... estimates of the value of life. Almost $8M according to the FDA. I don't know if reading this made the number go up or down for you.

Leixen VV-808: Sale
I got an e-mail saying the VV-808 (VHF version) is on sale for $118.24 including shipping to the US. (The UHF version is still at $144.04 with shipping.) That's not the sub-100 number I think starts to make it interesting again and I don't know if this is just a temporary sale to gauge response.

Yahoo Group Changes
People don't like change... but I wouldn't really miss the daily messages about someone's trouble programming their radio.
