How handy would this be? – A rich media based version of Wikipedia where all the content was video based. No, I don’t mean a flash website. I mean a huge organized archive of video clips that present useful information. Now how cool would it be if you could sync your iPod style device to… Read more »

Back From Winter Park: iRide Cap In Hand
So we had a fantastic time in Winter Park. The snow conditions weren’t the best – we had a lot of dust on crust. However, more of the mountain was open this year than when I went two years ago. I didn’t perform as well as I had hoped. I wanted to try a 180… Read more »
Here We Go, Off To Winter Park
It’s the day of the trip – finally. It’s always been the day of the trip, in my mind. It’s approaching on 11:00. I was up early this morning. I cooked myself a yummy breakfast, washed all the dishes, cleaned the counters, washed up the laundry, and took out the trash. I’ve got most of… Read more »
Days Left: 1
One more day of work, and then tomorrow I leave. Only somewhere between 6% and 10% of Winter Park is likely to be open. I was hoping for a little bit more snow, but I’ll still have just as much fun. Just checked the weather. Wunderground thinks there’s a 20% chance of snow on Thursday… Read more »
I Got A Snowboard Bag
Well, after far too much drama trying to get that Demon Wheelie bag… I’ve settled on a solution. After spending some time looking around froogle, the deal on the Demon bag wasn’t even that great, my sister told me to look in library bags Sydney, maybe there I would find something special. Maybe Fedex’s inability… Read more »
Gloves Not Recommended For Snowboarding???
I picked up this pair of ski gloves. The tag says they’re not recommended for snowboarding… Are they serious? Why in the world would that be?
The Last Saturday
It’s the last Saturday before our trip. I’d like to say that I’m stoked, but I’m actually a lot more confused. I woke up in a haze this morning trying to remember everything I need to get done before I go. Yesterday broke me, as I spent the entire day fighting with Overstock.com and FedEx… Read more »
Dallas Snowboarders: Two Weeks Later
A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned DallasSnowboarders.com. We did some basic promotion by announcing the site in a few places online and started spreading the word of mouth. In the past two weeks we have had about 15,000 page loads. As of the time of this post, we have 29 registered users. If we… Read more »
Snowboard on Pavement: The T Board
I found an ad for this thing while researching a movie full of snowboarding ladies called “As If“. Now, I’m not sure who the target market is for this product. While I’m sure an all female cast will appeal to all those young ladies dreaming of becoming a snowboarding pro… I somehow think it might… Read more »
Yoga: Recommended For Snowboarding
Well, I’m no expert. In fact, I’m just about as novice as one can be without being entirely clueless. I just completed (less than 30 minutes ago) my first Yoga class. While it was mostly what I expected, I was still surprised. Some of the positions really challenged me – to the extent that I… Read more »
