I headed up to Summit County, for some skiing Friday, see below for the result.

The Proffesor
Someone put some nice tracks on the Professor this week.
Great day at the basin today. Felt great to get outside after being in bed all last weekend.
CES 2014-01-08 Timelapse
CES 2014-01-08
The Sony area was massive.
This was Nikon’s entry in that’s not a lense, THIS is a lense category.
Of Course there were even bigger ones…
And then there were new game controllers (mimics limbs).
Some cool looking speakers (my Norwegian woodworker is showing)
some cool robot kits from Moss Modular Robotics
Nice set of selectable lenses built into a phone case. Slide them around like an old slider puzzle, to put the desired one over the camera.
CES 2014
We got to go to CES this year.
The flight was delayed a bit because of the “polar vortex”. But on the upside I got to catch a time-lapse while waiting for the plane to arrive.
There were a lot of kickstarted companies/projects in our area. One I still need to checkout is the free walk thing, Virtuix Omni, in conjunction with the Oculus rift. I’ll have to get a better picture.
The booth behind us has one of the sweetest looking electric bikes I’ve seen.
Drytunes might be a bit pricey at $300-400 for what is essentially some speakers in a pelican case. But for a long raft trip, given the price of a raft, it might make a lot of sense (this one is for you Brian – I even got you a coozie with their logo).
Here is a time-lapse from the booth.
Veho Muvi
Just picked up a Veho Muvi. It’d be nice if it had adjustable speed. Yes, there are more expensive alternatives that will do it.
I am however surprised at how well the camera in the Samsung S3 did with the day to night transition. Note: Used Droid Timelapse.
Great Hike with the DT’s
DT and the boys joined us on the wednesday hike.
McNamara Hut
I tried something a little different for this trip – a video
Arms Race
This is a sad commentary on our society.
Apple decided to put a water detection strip in their products – presumably because of people dropping their devices in water, and then asking Apple to repair them for free. But now, you can buy replacement strips on Amazon.
From the product description: “If you accidentally damage your warranty sticker, you would lose your warranty even without noticing it. This item can help you with this awkwawrd situation.”
More Panoramas
I found the White Rim pictures. I’m still processing most of them.
However, I did find the large panoramas, and added them to the pano page.
