I’ve had so much trouble in the past with passwords and one
hacked e-mail account that my service provider has locked me out of certain iPhone
logins. Did I mention yet that my iPhone is my sole source of connectivity away
from the office? In spite of myself, I recently accomplished the following in
preparation for the 2015 UltraPedestrian Wilderness Challenge (UPWC):
- Establish a blog (upgradient.blogspot.com)
- Acquire GPS technology (Suunto Ambit3 S)
- Interface with web-based software for the GPS watch (Movescount)
- Join UPWC’s group on Facebook, which first requires…
- …an actual Facebook account
- Establish a personal e-mail address for all this activity….
- …that I can access on my iPhone…
- …even though several key apps remain locked?
- Unsupported!
I have to admit that the GPS watch and account setups were
the easiest accomplishments on the list, perfectly seamless. I was able to
install and access the Movescount app on my iPhone too, but I have not been able
to sync the Suunto with my iPhone yet. Regardless of these accomplishments, this
is how I really feel about technology:

Meanwhile, the weather is beautiful and the days are long. I
missed the summer solstice wrestling with this list, but now I am ready for my
next adventure on the trails.
