In an off topic, meet related conversation between Owen and Sarah and I. Here is a link to the web site I built to showcase my portfolio. It really helps when it comes down to forwarding portfolio samples in order to get the interview. And it was another skill to add to the tool box. This should give you an idea of what I do for a living. Enjoy.

Alright, well guys I had a lot of fun yesterday. Still have a nice hole in my shin from my tight boots. Jonathan, you amazed me with your "First time snowboarding". I wish I could have done all that on my first time snowboarding, but all i got was a face full of snow! You were rockin the hills!

And now for the pictures. I didnt get as many shots of the place as I would have liked, so these will have to do... (These ones arent of anyone, just scenery)

I thought they were closed when you took the picture. But thats ok with me I have the memory of my first time on the slopes for the rest of my life. Glad I got to do it with such nice people. And yes I would like to get that other picture for my records. I am going to send this one to my parents so they know I really went snowboarding. Not that they wont believe me but they would love to have a picture of it for their records too. We all keep photo albums and my parents have them for everything, not as many as my brother, his wife and thier three kids. They have triplets. Two Boys and A Girl. So they have a web site for them which they update like every other day. Crazy and they are so awesome. One day for me too. Sorry off topic there. YES I would love to get that head shot you took. Next time I will bring a video camera. We have to do this again!!!! But that damn road. Argh. My garage looks like I just finished the gravel road section of the Dakar Rally. I'll be here.

That looks like it was a good day for snowboarding. I'm sorry I missed all you guys. Hopefully the next trip I will make it. Glad to hear no broken bones or missing people.

hi everyone, wish I could have made it out snowboarding and meet everyone last weekend. Looked like a good time, sorry to jack the thread but since I had the attention of snowboarders local, I figured I'd let you know that I have three new snowboards with bindings that I want to sell. If anyone is interested PM me, I am going to start a for sale thread when I get home with pics. Sorry again for hijacking.
