More Grand Prix
Today was a very long day. The Grand Prix did not run any faster to make up for it. I got this photo that I am very psyched on: You can read the story here. The videos will be done tomorrow.

Killington in the Mist
I am in Vermont for the Grand Prix. I am making a statement by coming for this event, and leaving before the open, or something. Anyway, my parents live here so it's an excuse to come home. Yesterday I watched the pipe qualifiers (I may have missed most of the men's and instead sat though sixty runs of women) then got dinner with my parents at Applebee's. It's not that I am too cool for a show by the Shiny Toy Guns (who I am sure I should have heard of) I just really like my Applebees, and my parents. I trekked back up to Killington (although I will admit…

Time for a new airline?
Flying sucks. I do it enough to be well aware that it is really no fun. Sure, if you need to go cross country and don't want to spend three days in a car, it's probably the best option, but man, layovers, delays, economy seating, lack of airplane food, etc are all major bummers of domestic travel. Tomorrow I head back east for, well, no real purpose other than I had a free ticket and there's a snowboard contest going on so I can write the rest of the trip off my taxes and maybe make a couple dollars. You know that feeling you get when you have to go…

Act Like You Know
My friend Sarah Morrison is funny. We went to college together but we were informed we "would not get along" so I don't think we ever spoke. Then one fateful day we were both visiting the same mutual friends in Portland, she had nothing to do and I was going up to Mt. Hood. I asked her if she'd like to come. Our friends all gasped as if the car might explode should we drive in it together. But as it turned out, Sarah and I got along swimmingly. We have since been BFF's over a short stint in Burlington, VT, driven cross country together 3 times, and she's lived…

Kitty Soccer (the reedit)
I am still learning to use iMovie. Now that am into this making movies thing, I figure I should learn all the tricks. If I was really serious, I would get a real program to edit with, but for now, iMovie will suffice. Anyway, I was whining about having the reimport clips over and over if you want to use multiple pieces of them, and a very wise man informed me that you could actually split the clips right in iMovie. Who knew! Anyway, I looked it up and decided I could make Kitty Soccer way more funny with this new found skill, so I did a reedit. Since only…

Kitten War
Awhile back one of my friends told me about the best site ever, Kitten War, which pits two adorably cute kittens against each other, and you have to decide which is cuter. Being an avid kitten photographer, I immediately went home and posted a picture of Tyra on the site. After awhile I checked her progress and found she'd won only a few of her battles. The "all of our kittens are winners really..." slogan at the bottom of the page didn't really make me feel any better. I decided that the photo I chose, one of her looking curiously into the camera lense with flowers in the background just…

This morning I got an email from Bill McCaffray, publisher of Alliance Multimedia, a.k.a. my boss. It just said "blog about the new wakeskate mag" in the subject and thanks in the body. While he was probably referring to a blog on Alliancewake.com and not here, I am doing both. Hopefully this one will be more interesting than the other though. The new issue of Alliance Wakeskate went live last night. Actually, we were trying to launch a completely new site at the end of February, but as things often seem to go, it didn't happen. The panic solution for how long the site was actually going to take to…

The big news of the day is I updated Yobeat.com. If you don't know, Yobeat is the site I have been doing with my friend Rachel for more than 10 years. I update it about once a month, and usually it just includes a photo that has already been published somewhere else and some random ramblings in our analog so i can justify putting today's date on it. Other than that I have been cooking a lot lately. I get out of the habit of making my own food when I am traveling a lot, and I always get psyched when I get to be home for long enough to…

Cat-ciphex
Ever since I got this blog there are two topics I have been threatening to cover, but have yet to get around to. I figure today is the day! First is Aciphex. When you look at the word Aciphex, it really doesn't have the same affect as when you hear it said outloud on a commercial during a HGTV daytime show. There you are, minding your own business, when all of a sudden the TV voice is saying "Ass-effects." And he's totally serious about it. Now obviously the makers of Aciphex, which is actually a heart burn drug and not to control gas as one would assume, realized that this…

Flying sucks. I do it enough to be well aware that it is really no fun. Sure, if you need to go cross country and don't want to spend three days in a car, it's probably the best option, but man, layovers, delays, economy seating, lack of airplane food, etc are all major bummers of domestic travel. Tomorrow I head back east for, well, no real purpose other than I had a free ticket and there's a snowboard contest going on so I can write the rest of the trip off my taxes and maybe make a couple dollars. You know that feeling you get when you have to go…

Act Like You Know
My friend Sarah Morrison is funny. We went to college together but we were informed we "would not get along" so I don't think we ever spoke. Then one fateful day we were both visiting the same mutual friends in Portland, she had nothing to do and I was going up to Mt. Hood. I asked her if she'd like to come. Our friends all gasped as if the car might explode should we drive in it together. But as it turned out, Sarah and I got along swimmingly. We have since been BFF's over a short stint in Burlington, VT, driven cross country together 3 times, and she's lived…

Kitty Soccer (the reedit)
I am still learning to use iMovie. Now that am into this making movies thing, I figure I should learn all the tricks. If I was really serious, I would get a real program to edit with, but for now, iMovie will suffice. Anyway, I was whining about having the reimport clips over and over if you want to use multiple pieces of them, and a very wise man informed me that you could actually split the clips right in iMovie. Who knew! Anyway, I looked it up and decided I could make Kitty Soccer way more funny with this new found skill, so I did a reedit. Since only…

Kitten War
Awhile back one of my friends told me about the best site ever, Kitten War, which pits two adorably cute kittens against each other, and you have to decide which is cuter. Being an avid kitten photographer, I immediately went home and posted a picture of Tyra on the site. After awhile I checked her progress and found she'd won only a few of her battles. The "all of our kittens are winners really..." slogan at the bottom of the page didn't really make me feel any better. I decided that the photo I chose, one of her looking curiously into the camera lense with flowers in the background just…

One last issue…
This morning I got an email from Bill McCaffray, publisher of Alliance Multimedia, a.k.a. my boss. It just said "blog about the new wakeskate mag" in the subject and thanks in the body. While he was probably referring to a blog on Alliancewake.com and not here, I am doing both. Hopefully this one will be more interesting than the other though. The new issue of Alliance Wakeskate went live last night. Actually, we were trying to launch a completely new site at the end of February, but as things often seem to go, it didn't happen. The panic solution for how long the site was actually going to take to…

The big news of the day is I updated Yobeat.com. If you don't know, Yobeat is the site I have been doing with my friend Rachel for more than 10 years. I update it about once a month, and usually it just includes a photo that has already been published somewhere else and some random ramblings in our analog so i can justify putting today's date on it. Other than that I have been cooking a lot lately. I get out of the habit of making my own food when I am traveling a lot, and I always get psyched when I get to be home for long enough to…

Cat-ciphex
Ever since I got this blog there are two topics I have been threatening to cover, but have yet to get around to. I figure today is the day! First is Aciphex. When you look at the word Aciphex, it really doesn't have the same affect as when you hear it said outloud on a commercial during a HGTV daytime show. There you are, minding your own business, when all of a sudden the TV voice is saying "Ass-effects." And he's totally serious about it. Now obviously the makers of Aciphex, which is actually a heart burn drug and not to control gas as one would assume, realized that this…

More Grand Prix
Today was a very long day. The Grand Prix did not run any faster to make up for it. I got this photo that I am very psyched on: You can read the story here. The videos will be done tomorrow.

Killington in the Mist
I am in Vermont for the Grand Prix. I am making a statement by coming for this event, and leaving before the open, or something. Anyway, my parents live here so it's an excuse to come home. Yesterday I watched the pipe qualifiers (I may have missed most of the men's and instead sat though sixty runs of women) then got dinner with my parents at Applebee's. It's not that I am too cool for a show by the Shiny Toy Guns (who I am sure I should have heard of) I just really like my Applebees, and my parents.
