Does it cross any one else's mind that there might be a car whipping around the next turn? 

It crosses everbody's mind...but not until they turn 40.

1080 off the big boy ramp...at 12 Years Old.  At 12 we were stoked to land a hippy jump.

Let's get rid of good whiskey, youth, and summer while we're at it.

It is so sad.  I have a pair of bifocals at my office.  In my car.  In my briefcase.  In my room.  In my home office... and pretty soon will be randomly placing them in bathrooms at the house and the office.  You know you are old when you are reading your IPOD with the big words... and wearing your bifocals.  My wife thinks it is pretty funny.

Hah!  Middleagery loves company.  At 42, it took me about 3 months to figure out what was going on.  I was looking at the small print on Advil containers and the likes, and thinking, the printing quality on these things is going to shit.  It just wouldn't register.

... and reading them all straight through on my iPad.

iPad for me as well.  I just can't bring myself to reading glasses yet, so the variable font size is keeping me young for a few more years...with the added sense of accomplishment of reading 700 pages an hour.
Keep holding off on the glasses, and you'll be up to 800 or 900 pages per hour in another year or two.

FUNNY! I think I'm getting close to that.

There are so few words displayed on each page now that when I use the bookmark function, the mark shows up on a previous page - Sadly, no kidding on that one.  Actually, that may aslo be a benefit as I typically have forgotten what I last read by the time I get back to it :)

PS:  I followed up with another Man Booker winner, The Sense of an Ending.  Strong, but in a hard position after Banville.  Man, can he lay down the words. 

Great resource, though:  http://themanbookerprize.com/prize/archive

We have had some great book suggestion threads here in the past and it might be a good time to get another one going with spring/summer leisure time just around the corner.  

I just finished, The Sea by John Banville.  Not new (2005), not high action or plot based, but 250 pages of beautiful writing.  

PS:  I should mention that this is not an ocean-centric book as the title (and my posting it here) might suggest.  More about life and loss, if you are in the mood.

Just got the HD camera and want to start playing with some video.  I know this question has been answered here before but I couldn't locate the thread when I searched.   Using windows based system. 

What version of Windows?  Prior to Windows 7 most versions came with Moviemaker which was decent for a basic editor.  For 7 you can still download a version of Moviemaker.

Thanks for digging that one up Admin.  Stunning vid.  I really liked the one waterfall where he ejects his blade, holds on the handles and does a lawn dart imitation.  How tough are those kayaks?  Some of those falls were just a thin veneer of water over rock.  Man, fun to WATCH.

HM,

How absurd are the skills at every one of these sports right now?  Kids getting on this stuff from true grom ages and progressing for two decades when the learning curve is vertical.
