It is Mom and Dad's last day in town so I took them on a hike up to the top of Rattlesnake Ledge. It was a pretty nice day so we had a great view from the top. I, of course, took another panoramic photo. You can click on it for the full size view.

Today's digital cameras are taking extremely high resolution images. When you start stitching them together with products like Windows Live Photo Gallery, you can easily end up with gigapixel images. Viewing that on a normal monitor just doesn't do it justice. The Microsoft Research team has...

After my abysmal physical performance on Friday, I was pretty down on myself so I decided I need to get back on the trail and prove I wasn't a tub of lard. After church on Sunday, I drove to exit 34 and found Twin Falls State Park. The trail is not very strenuous (2.2 miles each way with 1300 cumulative...

After I skied on Saturday morning, I met Rachel and Tim at Rattlesnake Lake for hike #10 from our hike book . As you can see from the GPS track below, we walked down to the lake since we had never been there before. The lake looks a bit low and the map seems to confirm that as it shows we were supposedly...

Alpental opened for another weekend! The skiing was not good, but I had to go up there and at least make a couple runs to say that I skied on Memorial Day weekend.

The road splits and both directions have a Dead End sign. I feel like this is a good cover for a motivational book, or maybe...

There is a lot of talk about the low attendance numbers for the Mariners at Safeco field this season. Some speculate that it is due to the cloudier/cooler weather we have been having this spring. Others say it is because they are playing horribly (14-22.) Whatever, the reason, nobody is going to the...

I finally got around to posting some pictures from the race in Michigan . It's a tough event to take pictures of, but it should at least give you a rough idea. The panorama that I stitched together is somewhat interesting too. In other news, the record high for today is 88 and the forecast is calling...

Tonight I headed to the Metrodome ( click here for a panorama of the stadium) for the first time with Rohan and crew. The mighty Twinkies got pouned 9-2 by the fearsome Tigers. With a team this good, it's not hard to find yourself a great seat. We spent a good inning or two debating whether this...
