Snow for days

Just back from Cypress and the mounds of snow. Woaw.

Driving up from Vancouver in the rain into a blizzard up top. Too bad about the Audi Quatro in the ditch. My old Jeep managed just fine.

Tons of fresh snow, no lineups and the most fun I’ve had all year.

I managed a not-ready-for-the-Olympics face-plant-cartwheel-thingy off Hutch into waist deep snow, measured head first.

After digging myself out, and digging the snow out of my helmet and goggles, I couldn’t stop laughing.

My new Nitro Darkhorse is giving me all the thrills they promised over at Second Wave.

Itunes meets Anil

I have a love-hate relationship with iTunes. I’m extremely inarticulate when it comes to WHY.
This post by Anil Dash pretty much gets it right. Here’s the preface to his itemized list of things to do better:


Lots of people in both the music/media and technology businesses are obsessed with beating Apple’s work on the iPod and iTunes. With the CES show being this week, that obsession will reach its annual peak, so I figured I’d take the time to post a list I’d made some time ago. Herewith, a list of the key dos and don’ts for beating Apple’s iPod and iTunes, in no particular order.
