I also wear a watch in the form of the Nike Fuelband. It sleeps when I'm not actively looking at it, so the battery lasts several days. The clasp is also a USB connector, so it just plugs into my laptop when the battery gets low. 30 minutes later and im good for another few days.

I also frequently get complements on it because it looks like a sleek wristband until the LEDs light up.

I would love to see more wearable accessories go this route and conserve power until I actively look at or wake up the device.

If someone added streaming music or mp3 functionality that could pipe music to a Bluetooth headset, that would be something I would definitely pay money for.

The original videos were the first screencast series I ever finished. Being fairly new to server-side development, I often get distracted around the 4th or 5th videos in these learning series. Yours were captivating to me because I was actually building an application or learning a development process every step of the way. Sometimes tutorials wander too far off into the theory mid-way and I start to lose focus.

It started to be hard for me to keep up around the middle of chapter 6 when authentication is introduced, but with the new built-in authentication now, I imagine I'll have a better time keeping up this go around.

I can't wait for you finish!

What no ICQ early adopter cred? In all seriousness, I'm surprised at some of the people that are ahead of me on my list. I have a friend that is in the 5 digit range for Twitter IDs.....
