Perhaps this is serendipity. Today I attended a workshop about podcasting. This rekindled an interest of mine into getting an iPod shuffle. Normally my desire would be for a higher end device, but I just do not want to strap another device to my "utility belt". A shuffle is so small and lightweight it would be unobtrusive.

Then it occurred to me that a shuffle would be perfect for the gym too. I am not really one to buy accessories for the gym, but it does seem like this would be handy.

My big question right now is to find out how many podcasts can actually fit onto one of these things. I know Apple says 240 four-minute songs encoded in their format will fit. What does that convert to in minutes in .mp3?

Gimme20.com, a web 2.0 social fitness community and workout tracking site is seeking a new partner.

The website is a new online fitness product that provides members with the ability to discover workout routines, track their workouts, and share workout routines with others in the community. There is even support for members using their mobile phones inside the gym to record results.

Our previous partner simply became to successful as a physical world personal trainer, that she had to leave the project in order to dedicate full time to her career.

Today, Gimme20.com quietly rolled out a few new features in preparation for our v1.5 release later in February.

Mini releases up this week:
