Fun with iPhone camera apps

Lake Solitude, as seen from Shaft, Solitude Mountain Resort

 

Lake Solitude, Lo-Mob Version

One of the fun things about having an iPhone is the various apps available for it … especially some of the camera apps. For example, the top photo is a pretty standard shot of Lake Solitude, taking on my [...]

Resolution Recap (and a new list)

What a year, and while part of me is glad that it’s over, another part of me is thrilled by what I accomplished and is really looking forward to continuing to grow in 2010.

How did you do on your resolutions for 2009? If you will recall from last year’s post, my resolutions were as [...]

First turns

The first day of skiing each season is always a little on the iffy side … and yesterday was no different.

Headed up to Solitude and could pretty much tell right from the start that it was not going to be a fabulous day when I had trouble getting my boots on. I guess [...]

2009 Ride #47

View Ascent activity on 18-Oct-09 at 12:31PM in a larger map

First time on the bike in 3 weeks … my Saturdays have been busy with the UTCX series, and the past couple of Sundays were either bad weather or otherwise booked (such as a trip to the zoo last weekend). I could tell that [...]

2009 Ride #42

View Ascent activity on 20-Sep-09 at 01:34PM in a larger map

Marginally better than yesterday; sinuses not acting up as much, but heart rate was still far higher than I would have like to see. But, I just have to keep telling myself that any miles are better than no miles, and any day on [...]

Inspiration

If I can become a tenth as good as these guys, then I will consider my ski “career” a success.

Go out and rent or buy this movie. Then watch it over and over and over for inspiration. Then go ski. And then watch it again. Then ski some more. Ski lots more. Then [...]

Solitude Day #5

I took today (Friday) off work … the weather has been so nice the past few days, and since I didn’t get a chance to ski last weekend due to digestive issues related to a change in diet (8 pounds lost so far!), I was going stir-crazy by Wednesday. Put in for a vacation day [...]

Poppin’ the DV cherry …

Oh my God, what an incredible freakin’ day today.

Pal Scotty and I went up to Park City to ski Deer Valley (my first time at any of the Park City resorts) … and I cannot believe how incredible a day it was.

The sky was blue, the sun was out, the temps were [...]

Apparel for short, chubby skiers?

Why is it that ski apparel manufacturers seem to think that people fit one particular body type? Seems like all the ski apparel manufacturers think that if you have a 37″ waist, you also have a 35″ inseam … I’m 5’9″, not 6’3″. And if not that, then the manufacturers think that the wearers are [...]

Solitude Day #4

I took my Garmin Edge 305 up to Solitude with me today, just to see where all I skied on a topo map, as well as to keep track of how far I actually skied.

Now, signal quality was poor, because I had the GPS in a sleeve pocket, instead of out in the open, [...]
