Happy Holidays 2010

Here in the Stillwater Minnesota area we are on the verge of being the snowiest December on record, enough to even challenge SANta.

With the snow we have been accumulating you can a) complain about it, b) go elsewhere, c) do nothing or d) enjoy it.

Having the right technology and tools to address the various snow challenges also helps.

Taking a break between projects including chapters for a new book among other items, following are some videos of enjoying and having some fun snow sledding in the back yard here in the St. Croix river valley.

Click on the following images to see some videos we recorded today using a flip camera including action shots while out on the hill. Fun was had by both the kids and the big kids aka adults!

Refer to this link (and video in the post) to see how much more snow we have accumulated in the past month since thanksgiving and how the sleeding conditions have evolved.

Rest assured there will be more tech related blog posts coming soon.

Have a safe and happy holiday season.

Nuff said for now

Happy Thanks giving 2010

Taking a break from industry trends and perspectives activity, here is using some technology to show how even in the snow and cold, for those who are bold, they wont grow old, as kids of all ages enjoy snow sled sliding in the scenic St. Croix River Valley.

Here is a video (.MPG) (and smaller .wmv version) that I put together this afternoon of the neighbor kids and their crew enjoying the snow during the first sled runs of the year.

For those enjoying the thanksgiving holidays in the U.S. try not to eat to much and thus avoid the sleep to much syndrome. However for everyone else, enjoy, have fun and best wishes.
