Spring Break Ski Trip

We spent Spring Break skiing Copper Mountain with Travis and his two sons. Despite some minor injuries, we had a great time. Read on for my summary, journal-style. Also, in case my account is too long and boring to get through, I’ll point out that there’s a pretty cool 90-second video at the end of the post.

Flashback Friday: Wooden Marble Machines

It’s been a few months since I’ve done a Flashback Friday, so I decided it was time. I found this from a couple of years ago and thought there might be some current readers that haven’t been exposed to the magic of Wooden Marble Machines.

A former co-worker sent me a link to a youtube video of binary adding machine made of wood and using marbles. I thought this was pretty cool. Then I went to the website referenced at the end of the video and found the very cool Marble Machine 2, including this video:

Biking to Fredericksburg – Video

I finally got around to putting together the video I took during last month’s bike ride to Fredericksburg. Editing it finally pushed me past what I could do with iMovie ’08. ’09 might have done the trick, but I already had iMovie HD ’06 and knew from others’ comments that it might do the trick. It did.

Outlaw Trail 100

A couple of weeks ago, my friend Travis and I did the 100K bike loop of the Outlaw Trail. It was a good ride with nice weather and “Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner!” afterward. The night before, my parents and my family went to the pre-ride pasta dinner. Little did we know that we would be the opening scene of the promo video. I also found an image of Travis and me at the starting line:

Next week, the Wurst Ride followed by Wurst Fest. Yum! They have a pretty cool interactive ride map, and they even let people embed it thusly:
