New Downhill Area at Cypress
October 26, 2007
I did a quick stitch job to show the new downhill areas opening up at Cypress this year. You can grab the large version - it’s about 500K and is 2800 pixels wide.
Anyone interested in a high-rez version (10,000 pixels wide) just email me.
Sniff of Snow on Local Mountains
October 26, 2007
It ain’t much, but at least there’s SOME white stuff up there.
This was shot at Cypress sky area today.
I managed to find just as much by the upper parking lot 
Long way to go before we’ll be riding any of this.
Meanwhile, we bought our family downhill seasons passes this week. What a hassle.
I’ll blog (at length) about this later, but Cypress has really got to do something about their online sales (hopeless) and their customer service.
I can’t believe the hassle involved with just trying to buy a pass.
What a pain !
More later.
Apple Makes Record Profits, Goes Crazy with Cardboard
October 25, 2007
Its very unlike Apple. Their packaging is always super slick and impressive. Today, I got one of their new thin keyboards, ironically, shipped in a box 10 times its size.
The keyboard box itself seems to provide loads of protection for the keyboard.
When I opened up the big box, the keyboard was at the very bottom of the box, with packing piled on top.
We’re recycling the packing - it’s great kraft paper - and the box will go into the blue box tomorrow.

Ozzie refusing to pose as I try out a new lense.
The tree agreed to stand still. Love the lense.

We’ve just posted a slide show for Capers Community Markets - photos I took at the Living Naturally Fair.
I also recorded five chefs over the 2 days and those podcasts will be airing soon at Capersmarkets.com
I’d Go Just For the Booth Babes
October 22, 2007
Every day I read about yet another big conference/trade show - things like the recent Web 2.0 Summit and dozens of others that all start to sound the same after a while.
But here’s a trade show with a real and simple mission.
“Innovations, trends and visions”
I can totally get behind that. And it’s the biggest in the world - you know - sometimes might IS right.
Each day is jammed with activities, panel discussions, stuff to buy and I’d love to check out the booth babes.
FYi has the story of this not-to-be-missed show…
This year’s Agritechnica show - the biggest indoor farm machinery event in the world - takes place in Hanover, Germany from 13-17 Nov. If you want to see what’s new in the world of agricultural machinery, it’s the place to be.
Photobooth Shoots Mirror Image
October 22, 2007
I’ve never noticed this until now. When I take a picture with the Photo Booth app using the built-in camera on my MacBook Pro, I get a mirror image capture.
Huh? I checked to see if I had set some ‘effect’ in Photo Booth but no, it’s set to normal. Why am I getting a mirror image instead of a regular photo ? Do all MacBook’s do this ?
