Twitter Stats On Misogyny and Misandry

For those who may not know: misogyny is the hatred of women or girls while misandry is the hated of men or boys. I just did a little curious research regarding these two terms using Twitter search. My results are rather unscientific, but I invite you to do your own probing and see what you… Read more »

On The History Of Social Media

Are you sick of hearing about “social media” yet? Maybe you are, maybe you aren’t, but social media is definitely being talked about, probably now more than ever. The bitter irony here is that social media is as old as the Internet. I mean that very literally. Consider the Wikipedia entry on the topic: Social… Read more »

Running vs Driving

Alright, I’m an advocate of not driving more than need be. I’m kind of lazy, so I’m not always a good advocate. However, you’ve got to use your body to keep it working. That’s the neat thing about a self-maintaining machine. Anyway, that said, let me get to my quick point. I’ve seen a number… Read more »

First Backside 180 (Sorta)

A few weeks ago I was at A-Basin with Nino and decided to troll through the park. I didn’t hit any of the big terrain, but I was knocking around on lips and edges a bit. I came up on a toe-edge jump and the felt good for a backside 180 attempt. Probably because I… Read more »

The Next Big Thing In Mobile

It’s an old idea that has yet to see the light of day. I’ve heard more than one person talk about it news websites like www.themebounce.com, and I’ve fantasized about how to implement it myself a few times. I’m finally confident that it’s inevitable. Look at the current generation of mobile devices. While these devices… Read more »

We’d meet up early in the morning for the free hotel breakfast and then walk to the office. Once at the office we’d work from one of… Read more »

So the new company has me out in Dundee, Scotland to meet the dev team. We caught a flight out of Denver around 5pm yesterday (Sunday) and we rolled right into the office here after checking into our hotel. *yawn* We flew into London and then hopped over to Edingurgh. I missed a lot of… Read more »

Cheetah Ultra Sports Whip F117

Honestly, I was looking for information on Netbooks when I ran across Cheetah Ultra Sports‘ new snowboard, the Whip F117. I ran across the board on a Gizmodo post. The stick costs nearly $2k and looks like a snowboard mated with a Cyclon ship. I have to admit, it’s dead sexy. The hole in the… Read more »

Village At Wolf Creek Back On Track

Hooray! I know some people won’t be as happy about it as I am, but I’m sure they’ll get over it. I’ve found a couple of stories saying The Village at Wolf Creek is back on track. It’s only taken 20 years! There’s an article in Biz Journals and and article in the Denver Post…. Read more »

Downhill At Winter Park

Fall is in the air here in Colorado. The trees have been changing colors for the past month. Snow is starting to fall at high altitude. It’s a sign that snowboarding time is near! For me, it was also a sign that I was running out of time. You see, I had a mission this… Read more »
