I found the photo CD of a roll of film I shot in Durango, late summer 2001. This is a panorama from the Colorado Trail.
I remember this ride vividly. I rode across town from the college to the CO Trail, and I rode for about 4 hours without seeing a soul. All uphill for about 3 hours, then all downhill. When I returned to town, some kind of motorcycle festival weekend was going on. I wove my way through a parade of slow-moving Harleys on my way back up the hill to my dorm. I was in insanely good shape then.
Song of the Day Podcasts Are Great:
You, too, can enjoy new, high quality music anytime, for free, and legally.
1. Open iTunes, click on the “Podcasts” section of the Library, and click on the link in the bottom right corner of the window that says “Podcast Directory.”
2. This might be the hard part. You have to find song-of-the-day podcasts from radio stations that play music you like. My favorites are “The Current Song of the Day - Minnesota Public radio,” “KCRW’s Today’s Top Tune,” “KEXP Song of the Day,” and “Sub Pop Records.” If you like independent music you might like these too.
3. Subscribe to the podcasts you like, and hit the refresh button in the bottom right corner of the Podcasts window whenever you open up iTunes to download the latest songs.
This is how I find just about all of my new music, and where most of the songs on my computer are from—and it’s all free and legal!
I listen to each song and give it a star-rating so I know which ones I want to listen to again. Also, I created a smart playlist with the conditions “kind is podcast” and “rating is in the range 4-5,” which makes it convenient to listen to the best ones any time I want. Did you know that already?
My dad and I are building a rowboat. We have gotten to the stage where it starts to look like a boat.
Backing up your mail with POP - Gmail Help
If you have Gmail you should do this because it gives you the best of both email-worlds. Basically this duplicates and updates your Gmail inbox on your local computer. You can still access all your mail from any internet-connected computer, but you have all of the advantages of a desktop email client when you want them (offline access, new mail notification, desktop interface, etc, etc, etc). Plus, everything is backed up, which is always good. I use Apple Mail, but most desktop email clients work.
I put some new wheels on my mountain bike this morning and I decided to take a bicycle family photo.
You can listen to/save just about any internet radio stream in iTunes, not just the ones listed in the “Radio” section of the library. What you have to do is:
1. Create a playlist called “Radio Stations” or something.
2. Go to the website of the radio station you want to listen to. Find link to the .m3u stream. You have to find the .m3u link, not the Flash player.
3. Control-click (or right-click, in Windows) the link, and select “Save file as…” or “Download linked file…” or whatever, and save to your desktop or wherever.
4. Drag the file from the desktop to the Radio Stations playlist you created in step 1. You can now listen to the stream anytime straight from iTunes. Also, in case you didn’t know, you can put any internet radio station into a playlist to make it easier to find later.
For example, go to wabe.org, click the link that says “Introducing the New WABE Stream Player” (which goes to http://www.pba.org/listen/newstreams/), then click the link near the bottom that says “click here for some alternatives” (goes to http://www.pba.org/players/wabe_m3u.html), ctrl-click the player that says “wabe 90.1 simulcast” and select “Download linked file…”, proceed with step 3.
Did you know that already?

What on earth is going on here
Reblogged From Copy Cats:
“No moon and by then no fire but enough light from stars in space to outline the forms of hills and trees surrounding, and to find the ripples and shifting planes of water moving not soundlessly past in the shallow river. A night of half conscious sleep that felt as long as a life entire but which brought with it a peace elusive before or since, as if sanctioned by some spirit called out of the land by our footsteps, nearly as rare and precious to him as this peace was to us.”
This morning on the way to the coffee shop I drove through what could only have been a cloud of smoke from Fox Bros BBQ starting up their smoker.
I would like to dedicate this post to Dana Haugaard.
