In case you didn’t know I’ve been in Utah for the past week and will be here for the next few weeks. Yay! We just wrapped up Boobcon, wherein a bunch of my girl snowboarder friends came to SLC to get their shred on. It was mucho fun. Need to recap that too.
Right now it’s [...]

According to UPS the fastest way from Reno to SLC is through Canada.
I ordered something from Amazon yesterday and had it shipped overnight delivery (Yay Amazon Prime!) This morning I go to track it and see this:
Considering that Reno is about 500 miles due West on Route 80, I’m confounded as to why this made [...]

I’m watching the New Hampshire primary coverage on CNN, and they’re using (at least it looks like to me) Microsoft Surface. I don’t think they had their people practice enough with it though.

I was listening to On The Media on NPR this morning and there was a segment on life logging. Life logging is a concept where you digitally archive all of your conversations, documents, photos, etc. There is a researcher from Microsoft who wears a camera around his neck that takes a photo of what he’s [...]
