Christmas was fun. I got a Dakine “Blade” backpack for skiing and a roller bag for traveling. I also got a wireless controller for Xbox and some other stuff. We flew out to Colorado today and we’re still here.

It’s Christmas Eve, you might think that I wouldn’t be working on my website, but no. Your wrong. I actaully find that I work best during the “lull” times in life. So here’s what’s new, and it’s allot!

I am now a Junior! That leaves only this year and next year until I’m done. I’m getting pretty good grades considering that good grades are hard to get at my school. I’m planning on going to the UW for at least 2 years. It will be cool because they add 0.9 to my GPA (i.e. almost a full letter grade). I started work on my third, and final?, film. It’s called 2435. That’s about all I can tell you. Oh…it’s going to be soooooo cool. It’s really going to blow your socks off. I’m in the proccess of developing some hardware called a Hot Head. Basicly, it let’s a camera pan and tilt remotely. I’m making two of theses systems that will also incorperated Sony’s LANC protocal so that I can also remotely control the camera settins (like record, zoom, etc). The whole site is now converted to PHP which is good and bad. It’s good because PHP and mySQl is allot more flexable, but it’s bad because search engines don’t really like PHP and mySQL, yet. I will be leaving for Colorado tomorrow and I don’t think I’m going to bring my laptop. Why you ask? Well, I’m kinda lazy and I just don’t feel like bringing it. And I know if I do, I will have to use it and it would probably be good if I didn’t use it for a little while. So that’s that. Before I go, I also got my new skis’. Some Rossignol Cut’s. I also am getting a really spiffy ski/camping backpack.

I leave for a month and a half and when I come back, everthing is shot to hell. I do sincerley appologize for the server being down. I was going mad. I believe that the power, for whatever reason, was cut off and the computer rebooted. So when I got back, I tried to fix it, but no such luck. So I switch the Compaq back the HP which, thankfully, had a backup copy of website. So here I am, computers running, Compaq is in the trash and I’m finially able to get back down to the basics.

My Trip:
I left for Colorado on the 1st of July and had an absolutly wonderful time. I really like not having to wake up to grey clouds in the morning. It really makes my day depressing. I spent the first week or so up at my family’s cabin in Estes Park. I then traveled to Broomfield and Colorado Springs to spend time with more family. I spent three days at Lake Powell, and that was great. Overall, it’s the best time I’ve had in a long time.
