I’m really long overdue in writing, but thought this was a pretty cool video that I stumbled upon. Combines my love for snowboarding with my love for technology. Fittingly, in tribute to Steve Jobs – who always pushed the design envelope.

I enjoy my work, and I’d like to think I have one of the best jobs in the world. I was glad to see my job on this list. This is an interesting infographic by FOCUS. Take a look (by clicking on the graphic) and see where your job fits in, is it time for a job change? This infographic was compiled by FOCUS using data from CNN.
I appreciate photography, videography, snowboarding, and living in the moment.
This is a video I discovered on Vimeo.com by Troy Costa, who embraces all of these elements.
The way he filmed it is absolutely beautiful using a Canon 7d and Opteka 6.5mm fisheye.
I aspire to shoot film this beautiful.
I’ve begun taking pictures of things I see that to me seem as though they may be off brand. I’ll explain my reasoning and share with you the picture, and then I’ll let you be the judge.

Maybe I am missing something, but when I see these colorful spray dots I immediately start thinking Krylon Spray paint.
On a Krylon spray can, this would make sense, as in the real life example below. However, for the Mets hat – I think I must be missing something?
