Hi all, I’ve got a layover in Atlanta so I’m doing some bloggin’ from Concourse T, waiting for the grind over that big Atlantic. Air travel has been going okay, only glitch I came up with was when TSA didn’t like the ice in my water bottle (yeah, it froze in the car last night). I could have chucked it, but it’s a nice bike style bottle that’s perfect for staying hydrated. So I went over to a nearby food joint and got them to pour some hot water and melt the ice. Classic. It’s always something! But not as bad as the guy who’s passport was left sitting on the TSA tray table. Wow, I though I was scattered when trying to do all this stuff… but I’ve managed to hold on to my passport.
At any rate, while I’ve been traveling Louie lashed up a cool video from our Christmas powder skiing fest. I was going to wait and publish, but it’s too much fun getting this stuff up for our blog friends to enjoy. He shot this in three different modes. One is done with the intervalometer function of our Canon A640 custom firmware, the others are his Digital Hero helmet cam and his handheld vidcam.
Video down until we can reprocess.
