As a volunteer and all around fun open source web app project I have been working on enhancing the Leadville Trail 100 race series reporting capabilities. I competed in the Silver Rush 50 MTB last year and was quickly hooked by the compelling high altitude scenery. From the course to the competitors it was an all around blast. It shouldn’t have come as a surprise to me, but this project has been a blast too.

It’s been almost three full months now since I have switched my main home PC to a Mac. In a word I am very happy with the switch. The general consensus was the Dell Latitude D620 laptop that my wife and I were sharing for a year and three months was becoming a burden not necessarily in performance, but mainly in that we had to “share” it. On most nights when we both needed to use the laptop I would use my work laptop which was usually at home plugged in in the evenings.
As a programmer and all around nerd dating back to my teen years I have covered a fair bit of computing terrain. However, at a recent job interview requiring Java skills I completely floundered when asked, “Talk to us about design patterns and illustrate some instances where you have applied them?”
It has been just over six weeks since injuring what I thought was my Latissimus Dorsi. After four weeks of total rest from all sports I was nearly pain free except in the late evening when the wear and tear of the day would lead to some aches.
Two months ago in early November 2009 Heather, my wife, and I attended our Church’s annual school auction to support Holy Trinity School. The auction concluded with a hat drawing for the grand prize – an all expense paid cruise to the Bahamas.
About a year ago I applied for a bolting permit in Eldorado Canyon State Park via ACE FHRC to put up a new sport climb on the north side of the canyon on a rock formation known as Lower Peanuts.
