Mar 14th 2009 - 0 comments

So as many of you know (or will soon find out), I’m pretty obsessed with mountain biking. It all began when I moved down to Raleigh, NC a couple years ago for my first co-op. I’ve been getting more and more into it and now I’m borderline obsessed! It’s so much fun and such a [...]

I’ve been taking a bunch of random pictures lately with my Canon Rebel XTi but nothing has been interesting enough to warrant it’s own gallery or blog post. Generally the photos are unrelated to each other and just cool (or depressing) moments that were worth a picture. Last night I got the idea to do [...]

Mar 10th 2009 - 0 comments

As many of you might remember, a few months ago I wrote about a little game called the Magic Pen Game. This game captured (I wouldn’t say wasted…) hours and hours of my life! If you aren’t familiar with the game, it is a series of levels that require you to move a red ball through flags. [...]

Hey! So I found myself flying A LOT last month. First it was Utah, then St. Lucia, then a trip to Armonk, NY for work. I’ve been spending a lot of time on planes and have really enjoyed the Sky Mall magazine that was neatly placed in my seatback. I will say, however, that the [...]

I’ve been SO busy lately that I haven’t had time to blog about everything that’s been going on. I finally have a few minutes to write and share some pics. Okay, so where to start?!
On Saturday January 17th, 2009 I got married to Caitlin in Saratoga Springs, NY. We had a fairly large wedding (I [...]

A few weeks ago I stumbled upon an awesome music site called The Hype Machine. I had seen a few tweets about the site from friends but never really took the time to investigate. I’m a HUGE fan of electro/dance/club/etc music and frequent the Missingtoof music blog. It’s always fun to surf around the internets [...]

So I’ve been thinking about skiing/snowboarding sooo much lately since the temps really started to drop. This year i’ve been especially excited to get an early start on the season since i’ll be moving to Raleigh, NC at the beginning of February to start my new job. This means I lose nearly 3 months of [...]

I came across an interesting spectacle on the internet the other day. It seems there is a huge group of people all over the world who are taking up a new form of graffiti. It’s called urban knitting and it just makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. A lot of my friends are pretty into crocheting and [...]

I was driving around today listening to one of my favorite mixtapes and felt inspired to post about it! (Blogging two days in a row…crazy I know!) Anyway, the mixtape was put together from a seriously talented group who calls themselves “The American Dream Team” (MySpace). They mix around 20 of the most popular electro [...]

Since a few of my friends have been getting macs over the past couple weeks, I decided it would be a cool idea to showcase some of the applications that I REALLY love. I decided to pick out 5 of my favorite *free* apps. Here they are, in no particular order.

Jan 11th 2009 - 0 comments

We finally made it to Utah!! Last night our flight arrived in Salt Lake City around 9pm Mountain Time. We were welcomed with 17 inches of fluffy Utah powder. We managed to cheaply upgrade our rental car to a 2009 Infinity G37x sedan. This thing is AWESOME. And, best of all, it’s got AWD which [...]

Utah Day 2 (Snowbird)

Jan 11th 2009 - 0 comments

We woke up this morning to sunny, blue skies. We knew it wasn’t supposed to snow today, but we weren’t expecting perfect weather!! We got ready and headed to Snowbird. They received around 10 inches of snow overnight so the conditions were going to be amazing. And they were.

We waited a few minutes in line [...]

Utah Day 3 (Brighton)

Jan 11th 2009 - 0 comments

Today we headed up Big Cottonwood canyon to ski at Brighton. Brighton is a crazy resort with one-of-a-kind terrain and few crowds. It’s a favorite for many of the SLC locals and I don’t think too many tourists know to go there. We skied all day and never waited in a single lift line. 

The conditions [...]

Last night it snowed 11 inches in Big Cottonwood Canyon and we decided to ski one last time before our 5pm flight. After checking out half-day lift ticket prices at the nearby resorts, we decided it was best to head to Brighton again. 

We arrived a little before the lifts opened at 9am. I couldn’t believe [...]
