Last weekend we were suppose to hit the slopes at Okemo!  However, due to the weather, they postponed their opening day from Nov. 15th to the 22nd.  Boohooo!  This weekend, my friends and I booked ourselves to one day trip to Mt. Snow, VT.  We leave at 5am!!! Oh boy! =D Off to the bus!  If anyone is interested, visit http://emiliosskishop.com/ See you there!  This will be our first snowboarding trip of the season.

Anyway, I have been preparing! I want to be physically fit.  Whenever I can, I take the stairs instead of the elevator and walk whenever I can. Need those strong legs for those jibs and ramps.

I just saw the latest 007 movie.  I liked it, except I wouldn’t class it as a typical Bond movie.  ehh… There were girls, a fast car, lots of action...but where is the technology?  Hmm...the Minority Report-like computer? His phone with GPS Tracking...not to mention a camera that can had 50x zoom with face/retinal recognition? Perhaps. 

The story is a cross between so many other movies… I would say 007 is similar to Bourne Identity.  The scene with the rooftops and Bourne’s hunger for revenge is similar to 007’s scenario.  The car/boat chases, women, betrayals… they’re all the same...might even be predictable of all bond movies.  All in all… i would say that I liked it. 

Bond is human, clever and resourceful.

Oh BTW! I liked the trailer for Star Trek! I can’t wait to see it.

I just got myself a PowerShot A1000 IS camera from Canon.  It’s a nice point-and-shoot camera with a good price and quality.  For $150 dollars, you are paying for a 10 mega-pixel camera with a DIGIC III (used in SLR’s) chip.  What I like about it, is that it uses non-proprietary AA Batteries.  I always have problems with rechargeable batteries and the cold while snowboarding.  I’ll be using this camera for snowboarding next weekend, while I get my Olympus Stylus 1030SW repaired.  So stay tuned for these pics I can’t wait to test this baby.

Other features that I liked include: Auto-rotate preview, Image Stabilizer, Face Detection, 30 fps video, and ... you’ll have to see for yourself.

I should be studying. Instead I am working on this site.  I do this all the time.  I am more productive when I am trying to avoid a task such as studying.  The hard part is to switch the role: hate work and love studying.  I remember the saying, “I put the PRO in Procrastination.”

On the side note, this site is not yet live to the public. There is still a lot to do and think about.

This is a test entry so I can see how this baby looks while designing.  What do you think? It’s coming along.
