• Best time to go according to this guy...
  
  "I go to Park City during Sundance to go snowboarding — here’s why: The film industry assholes drive the hotel prices sky high, so the average joes skip the mountain that week, and then those same film festers go drink themselves into oblivion every night leaving the slopes empty in the morning. Last year, I could count on one hand how many times I waited in line for a lift. My girlfriend’s family has a condo in the village, so I sleep for free and cook my own meals. This ski trip will be cheaper than any other I take this season. On top of that, film tickets aren’t tough to get and are reasonably priced. If you set yourself up for a low-key week, you’ll enjoy yourself. If you want to wait in line every night to sip overpriced drinks with wannabes, stay in NYC and go to Marquee."

Bundle Up!

For the past three years, I have posted about our upcoming snowboarding trip. It doesn't look like this year is going to be a warm one, not that weather.com's bar charts made it easy to see the high temperature at a glance...



FYI - some of my favorite blogs are dedicated to the critique of charts.

Serious Play, indeed

I was pretty excited when my request to attend the Art Center Design Conference was approved, and I'm even more excited now that they've added Daily Show correspondent John Oliver to the list of speakers...

• Dude, how did you pull that off? I am immensely jealous. Do you need an official hack-photographer/lackey/personal assistant/man-bag-carrier to go along?

Google Stats, Two Years Later

In April of 2005, I flipped a switch that allowed Google to store every search I've pecked into their engine - a service now called Web History. It has come in handy on more than one occasion, since I use multiple computers and therefore can't use the history to recall what that certain web page was that I used the other day for something really cool...

It's been a couple years since I've shared my statistics, so why not now?

• Total Google searches: 10,105
• Searches per day: 11
• Most likely to be Googling on: Tuesdays at 4 PM
  

At this rate, my 100,000th search should occur on my 50th birthday! Talk to you then.

ChaCha ChaCha, Don't Phunk With My Heart

I was all excited to tell my text-happy friends about ChaCha after reading about it in Bits, but my first experience was a bit perplexing...

Kristi and I recently saw Juno (highly recommended), so I thought I would see when it's playing again nearby. I texted 'Juno 55416' to 242242, waited five minutes... and got MYSA President Bob Poretti's home address & phone number?!?

It's too bad that the Official Text Answers Service of Sundance '08 doesn't know that Juno is a movie.
