So I decided to move to Washington DC and after a 3 day car ride that seemed to last forever I have arrived! Just needed a change up from Denver, plus I have a lot of friends here, and I obviously like to move around :).

More updates to follow, work has been super busy especially with a new startup we have been working on for a year that is beta launching in February 2011! Really excited!

I’m not sure where we camped last weekend but it was next to a stream and pretty, I spent most of the day building a dam to try to show up the beavers next door. And the next day we climbed Grays and Torres (two 14,000 foot mountains). Which only reinforced my belief that air at sea level deserves an award. And I also got to setup my new tent for the first time, super comfortable even for a tall person.

And this weekend Joel, Laura, and I drove up to Crested Butte for a one day hat tournament. Crested Butte and surrounding area is the most beautiful I’ve seen in Colorado and so much nicer then Frisco/Breck/Etc. I couldn’t play the tournament as my ankle is still swollen but I did go for a nice 14 mile run/hike. And the next day we did another short hike, relaxed, and hung out with Chappe and Liz in Aspen at their new place (which is awesome). Great weekend and had a great time!

And I spent tonight setting up my new desk, it moves up and down so I can work standing up and sitting down. Pretty excited as it is a lot easier for me to get things done when I’m standing up.

Moving out of the church June 1st or shortly after so I am franticly cramming everything in boxes as work has been super super busy the last few weeks (buying half a house). Especially since I’m headed to South Africa June 11 to meet up with Karl and see that World Cup thing. Did you know it was winter in the southern hemisphere right now? Because I didn’t. Frack.

We are going to find a new place to live in April/May, hopefully closer to a neighborhood we like a little better. Next week I’m heading to Vegas for a big ultimate frisbee tournament plus it is going to be Dmarsh, BBustin, and my brother’s birthday. Should be fun. And then when I get back from that Rose and Steve will be here and going to spend a lot of that week skiing with them! And hopefully I’ll be going skiing during the week a few times after that, and working on cross country skiing as I would like to be good at that.

Work is going well, and just got really busy as we took on some additional business which is quite fun!

Travel wise the year is looking awesome. In a few months I’m taking a few weeks vacation to explore Japan! Then in April I’m going to Italy for a short weekend trip as Iris got a bid to Paganello (massive ultimate beach tournament), and I’m going to play with her mixed team. Extra fun as it should be a lot of Arkansas people and hopefully Daniel and Joel go. And then me and a friend scored tickets to the World Cup in South Africa which I will be going too in early July. South Africa is being nuts on airfare pricing but its a once in a life time opportunity, so worth it.

Oh, and I’m trying to complete the 100 Book Challenge for 2010, which means I’m trying to read 100 books in 2010. So roughly 9 books a month, so far I’m almost done with my 4th and almost on track. I’m posting mini reviews as I go too.

Also, here is an interview we did a few months ago for Work, I’m pretty proud of it as we don’t sound like idiots. Although I did repeat a lot of words over and over and over, oh well, she was really nice and it was fun!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and is ready for the new year! I certainly am!

I strongly recommend if you are in Denver to check out the Genghis Khan exhibit at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. It was really well done and their expedition health was really cool too. You got to take your heart rate, exercise heart rate, width and height, and a lot of other tests on this little card and print it out at the end. Really good for kids to understand how everything works. It was also sponsored by Kaiser Health (who is probably collecting all this info). They also let you take a snap shot of your face and they would age it and you could flip between different ages and see how UV exposure would affect you. I think it scared the shit out of some kids and they will be wearing heaps of sun block this summer.

My Predictions For 2010

1. I will switch to 100% Apple… Very likely, I do 90% of my work in FireFox and Firefox drags in Windows (even a fresh install of Windows 7) when you have tons of tabs open (10+). I don’t have this problem on my MacBook. Funny enough this is the reason I dumped Apple about 3 years ago.

2. I will buy an Apple Tablet. If the Apple Table actually exists.

3. Apple will make LCD playing cards and I will buy those as well.

Night.

I’ve been having a hard time finding the perfect sled for this year but luckily Slate has a great article on the best sleds and I went with the Airboard 180! Rumor is you can go up to 80 miles an area, control your direction easily since it has ridges on the bottom, and go off jumps with little worry besides fear of death! It is the only sled that is advertised as needing a helmet.

I flew back from Texas on Thursday and it was snowing earlier that day. And today I wake up to this and flakes falling from the heavens!

First Snow!

You can already ski at a few of the higher up places which people say is crazy. I went in with some other people to split a house up in Frisco, so going to be able to go up there during the week and chill and hopefully sled!

The open part of the moutain...

Joel, Dmarsh, Steve and me went cross country skiing this weekend. The route we choose was quite a bit harder than the other two I had done because the path was packed down and very icy. So going up hill we either had to walk or put on skins so that we didn’t slip backwards and fall to our fiery deaths. It was a lot of fun coming down though and even though we all fell quite a bit I managed to do ok. I can’t wait to get better so we can actually ski some of the more remote areas.

Ended up going back and renting skis again a few days later and did a trail on our own on some far away snowy mountain. Here are some pictures of me and Lizzie trying to trudge through very deep snow and falling on slippery ice. Going to start going as its good for me to get out of the house and see that bright bright object in the sky.
Lizzie is skiing! Ben is cold and skiing! Lizzie is so extreme 1! Lizzie is so extreme 2! Lizzie is so extreme 3! Skiing Lizzie!

The Denver museum has this awesome camera setup that shows heat signatures on your body. Was a blast to play with, we filled our mouths with cold water from water fountains to see how long it took to turn that, measured how much heat your clothes trapped, and a lot more!

Today we went down to the Denver Aquarium which now holds the award of being the only aquarium I’ve ever been too that has Tigers. What is up with that? A pretty good aquarium although I get bored by all the American fish which just seem so boring and brown. The shark room was amazing and the environments they built were pretty cool as well.

Some of the fish displays were as good as a well run aquarium, they had tons of different kinds of monkeys, huge komodo dragons, baby red pandas, hyenas, lions, bears, polar bears, penguins, tons of birds, a tropical house, and tons more. I had a great time and can’t wait to go back!

All the photos are with my iPhone so the quality is shit. I joined the Denver Zoo as a member so I can go whenever I want plus a free guest. It will be a nice break in the heart of winter to go chill in the warm tropical rooms and read and hang out with my friend the three toed sloth.

PS, they had way way too many snakes.

The place is inside this old church from the 1800s, it was actually the tallest building in Denver for a while and is like the 7th or 8th building on the Denver historic registry.

We are 99% done with this new business deal, once we actually close I’ll post some more info :). We are going to be staying with Dmarsh while we are out there! Looking forward to cold weather, snow, and starting some work!

In other news I voted early yesterday so that is all taken care of. I really hope Obama wins, I think he is going to be way better for the global economy and the foreign perception of what America is about. Plus that Palin women is just fraking crazy and since statistically McCain should probably die of natural causes during his first term in office we would be stuck with Bush in a skirt.
