Jan Happenings | My Birth Month
This took me forever to get done, but I finally put up a lot of the pictures from January. Last month was sort of hectic so that’s why they’re late. And what a better time to catch up on your personal life is while procrastinating on doing homework. =]
So enjoy them on your own time these are just thumbnails to the flickr photosets. There was a lot of pictures so… if you want to see them then you can go ahead and check it out for yourself.

Visit in SF
Being back in SF is always fun.
Saw a kitty kat chillin’ on the hill so I had to snap a shot of him.
Here are some more pics of my little hike I took by the ocean.

Spend 4days at Mammoth!
For roughly $350 you can fly, ski/board, and stay for 4days. You get to fly to Mammoth lake and get to enjoy 3,500 acres of awesome terrain. I honestly have yet to go to Mammoth but with this deal I might do it soon! Check out the details:
Thanks to Matt for finding this deal. I was also curious to see where Mammoth Lake actually was and it’s not too far, but driving Google Maps takes you on a near 8 hour journey. Interestingly from the route you could stop by Sierra at Tahoe before heading down? Possible if thats what you’re into. But take a look at the directions to Mammoth from San Jose.
If you’re interested visit Mammoth’s website.
Charge scissors @iMD
The handful of charge scissors in San Jose, mine being one. Thanks anna for the pics!
transportable slider/dolly
Here is another idea that I’m thinking of doing. It’s more of a portable slider for my camera. Searched the web and found these..
Now the ones shown above could be found for under $200 online. But if you wanted to do a DIY you could search the “zaza slider”. You basically order all the parts you need from Igus Though it’ll cost you about $160 for the parts. So almost the same as purchasing the one above.
Here’s another one known as the Indislider.
Only if I knew cad a little more, and had all the machining tools to make something like this, yet I’d make all my camera rigging gear if I had access to any of those. So I’ll be left with the DIY’s and home depot. Oh well.
For those of you looking for these types of slider or anyother info for dslr video recording. Hit up Cinema5D
Scissor clears 48c Rando’s
Yes that’s right, we did it. 48c Rando’s. They sure are beefy tho. take a look if you already haven’t from IMD..
iPad?

First of all, good job Apple. However I don’t think it was the best job possible. iPad is cool, but seriously it’s a giant iPod Touch with 3g/Kindle. With the iPad you pretty much can do anything that an iPhone can except make calls. Sure you get to look at a 9.7″ screen aside to a 3″+ screen, but I would rather have a Macbook Pro with a Touchscreen. To me that seems more usable than an iPad. Most apple users already have either an iPhone and/or iPod Touch. What’s one more product that can’t do the full features of a computer?
To me, a Macbook pro with a touchscreen :

now this has been out for a while, but to send in your laptop to have them install a touchscreen for $1000+ isn’t ideal. But for Apple to come out with something in this matter, would be respected by a larger audience (I believe).
Just my $0.02. Even though the consumerist in me tells me that I want the iPad, I’m not so crazy about it.
Though I think like many of the Apple Apps, this product might be ideal for stores or boutiques like IMD to produce and application that leads a virtual terminal for products and custom jobs (i.e. custom bike builds). If there was an app that we could somehow use to virtually create a bike piece by piece, component by component, then I would seriously consider purchasing the iPad.
Still, good job Apple with another amazing product, just not mind blowing for me.
