  • Rule 240

    Have you ever heard of Rule 240? I hadn't until today but basically if your flight is canceled for any reason other than weather you can ask the ticket agent about rule 240 which requires them to schedule you on another flight, even on another airline...

  • Guitar Hero

    I'm not big into video games but guitar hero is quite the revolution. Now anyone can be a rockstar and have fun with facial hair too. I "found" this pic and had to post it. ;) Rockin' the headband!

  • Flow Bindings Break

    I purchased Flow NXT AT bindings along with a Nitro Misfit towards the end of last season because the roof rack on my Jetta ripped off while driving home and I lost my snowboard (with bindings attached of course). I rode on them for only a few days and...

  • Nike +

    I know a couple people that have the Nike Plus setup and have been interested in it for a while. There are a few problems you immediately face if this is something you want. First, you need the proper iPod. I already have 2, a now old school 30GB one...

  • Back online and on a new host!

    I have been fighting with my previous hosting company to keep my site live for easily the last 6 months. It was one problem after another. I just switched over to Server Intellect and look forward to my site live all the time. Don't let me down! I...

  • iPod Touch, really? awesome

    I just read that Apple is introducing the iPod Touch . Wow, it looks awesome and this guy has a good point about the iPhone. Too soon? The thought of it does sound really cool and my iPod is one of the old ones without video so I'm not cool anymore...

  • Olympic Peninsula Weekend

    This past weekend Emily and I took a trip to the OP (Olympic Peninsula) for a overnight backpacking trip and camping on the ocean. It was a great trip and along with the perfect weather were really long ferry lines. We hiked up 4.5 miles to our campsite...

  • Gettin' Cultured

    Last week Emily and I saw an Opera and Musical not only in the same week but back-to-back days!! I felt smarter, better, and snobbier than you! Also, a little tired of sitting still for several hours at a time. Anyways, we saw The Flying Dutchman at the...

  • dontclick.it

    Jon Broom recently posted about www.dontclick.it and I think it's such a cool idea. I doubt it will catch on but is something to think about. It's a simple concept and makes you start to re-think the direction UX has gone. However, Flash is a...

  • Vacation Last Week

    I took last week off from work to hang out with my parents who came in town for the week. Emily, my Mom, and I went rafting on the White Salmon River on Saturday which was an awesome trip. Our rafts crew include the three of us and 3 other guys that were...

  • Music

    I never thought about blogging the music I'm listening to until today. I just picked up some new CDs and love them and wanted to share. One of the great things about Seattle is being able to listen to KEXP on the radio. They are an amazing listener...

  • How hot is too hot to work?

    The temperature in Seattle has broken 90! That may not seem hot to those in Texas but without A/C it gets old after a while. Since my office is upstairs in a converted attic it gets hot so I moved my office downstairs and have been working from there...

  • The perfect tortilla

    I make a lot of burritos and sandwiches with tortillas and typically zap them in the microwave for a while so they are soft and don't break. I've tried all kinds of different methods but was recently was told a great hint that I've used a...
