I Came up with an idea I thought you all might be interested in. Taking some of the Awesome photo's on here and shrinking them down to cellphone/mp3 background size. 128x160 for my Z5 mp3 player. I did this once before using the GIMP( Foss Photo editing software). I believed I cropped it first then shrank it. Here is the result. I thought perhaps we could create a category in the photo section for this sort of thing. Mini pictures, Portable device backgrounds or something. What do you all think. would photographers have a problem with this. |

What do you get when you combine desert racing, fuzzy math and a whole lot of rain? You get the 12th annual 24 hours of Moab. I decided to compete in the Duo-Pro category at the 24 hours of Moab. My partner in crime was a well-known x-terra racer and software programmer. If you didn't guess it, I'm talking about the famous Dan Ourada! We hit the trails smiling on Saturday morning. Sure, the rain was coming down like Bush's approval ratings, but that didn't bother two hard-core hitting muthas like us. We were determined to race and WIN! The first lap was the LeMans style start. I encourage you to look at my previous blog if you want to get an idea on that maddness. The second lap was mine! I held the fastest lap time for an hour or so - 1:12 (I could have gone so much faster had my front der. not gunked up and crocked out). On the third lap Dan brought the thunder. I guess the rain followed quickly thereafter, because it began to rain. By the sixth lap, we were in third place and it was dark. I packed on my lights and headed out in the sideways rain. Canyons of mud flowed past me. The course was covered in fog. The racers were in a daze because they couldn't see the ground or the upcoming terrain. |
