updatey

Here we are in Portland after a good dump of snow. Well in portland a good dump of snow is about 3 inches, and then sustained below freezing temps. This wouldn't have caused a traffic jam back in MN, but here they basically had I-5 shut down yesterday (unless you had chains on) and basically all of the portland schools are closed today. People don't even walk on the sidewalks. they walk on the grass part becuase they can't really balance on anything that doesn't resemble pavement or cement.

So anyway... all this means that there's finally snow in the mountains, for some skiing. hopefully we'll get up to the tracks within the next few weeks.

I finished finals last week, and it was a bitch, but it went reasonably well, and Now i'm one term closer to being done with school. The highlight of the upcoming term should be digital signal processing. Hope to post updates on the awesomeness of that class.

In other news, I jailbroke my iPhone. Basically that means I can now install any apps. Not just ones apple approves. So don't tell steve jobs, but my iPhone just got a whole lot cooler. Now we can stream live on the internets (via qik.com) Check it out!



It's pretty funny when I realize i was in fact, live on the internet (qik.com).

So anyway, we hope to have more and more wonderful content from the iphone. On the list of things to do for the break is to develop a real iphone application. I built one last September but it wasn't really functional, and then school started, and i had not time for that stuff! we'll see how that goes. I'm geeky like that, and a victim of consumerism in it's finest, i guess. maybe if my iPhone apps take off it will pay off!?!

Well, it took about one week into summer-vacation, and gadget fever overcame me. Got an iPhone!!! What does that mean for the blog? More photos! woo hoo. I also got a new phone number: -5.0.3-7.0.3-3.5.4.7-

We're headed to MN this week, for the holiday weekend.

then it's back to business w/ 3 races in 3 weeks, and no school until Sept 29th! :D
