You never forget your first

Atop Grays PeakAtop Grays PeakView From Grays PeakView From Grays PeakSeptember 16, 2007. I Climbed my first 14er. Grays Peak, (14,270 ft) Highest point on the continental divide, 10th highest in Colorado, 25th highest peak in the US.A few tips. Get to bed before 5 the night before. Stay hydrated. Carry very little, but include a rain jacket, warm layer, and a hat. Sunglasses are nice to have. Be off the peak by noon.

 

NOS Energy Drink. It’ll redline your heart.

NOS DrinkThe next time you’re looking to fill your body with life-threatening levels of performance enhancing nutritional supplements disguised as a soda, reach for a NOS. Normally reserved for the climax scenes in the Fast and Furious Trilogy, NOS has crossed over into the energy drink market. Upon the recommendation of a friend who drinks enough of the stuff to float a Carnival cruise, I gave NOS a shot. Now I’m legally required to mention that NOS is not for everyone. NOS is not for women who are pregnant or may become pregnant. NOS is not for children or those sensitive to caffeine. If you experience lightheadedness, heart pains or death while using the NOS, discontinue drinking it immediately. I was initially skeptical, but NOS tastes better, goes down smoother and packs a better punch than most energy drinks.

 

MotoGP at Laguna Seca

I flew out to California last weekend to watch the MotoGP race at Laguna Seca, it was my first time spectating a motorcycle race, I had a great time. My favorite racer (Hopkins) got tangled up early and put out of the running, aside for that it was a good to watch. Congratulations to Casey Stoner who took first. A few of the pictures I took turned out alright.Chaz DaviesChaz DaviesValentino RossiValentino RossiAlex BarrosAlex Barros

 

Startup Weekend

Startup Weekend was a blur, with myself and ~60 other people taking an idea and making it a company (VoSnap) in 54 hours. Starting with meeting and narrowing the ideas down to a single one on Friday night, to Leaving the temporary space on Sunday, there was something happening every minute. Meetings every hour, (some with yoga), the temporary site going up (VoSnap.com), getting some TechCrunch love, and finally wrapping up the weekend with a pending beta release. Head over to the site and sign up to be emailed when the quick vote beta launches!
