We have completed editing the video we shot in Colorado.  We also used Google Earth to create some 3D renders.  Outputting a working video from Google Earth turned out to be extremely difficult, as Google Earth produces very large and incompatible video files.

Mountain Biking

Mountain Hiking

Don’t you wish you lived on Jackass Hill?

We are heading to the trail. I will come back with awesome footage if I don’t hit a low branch.

Success!  I shot 15 minutes of motion jpeg on my Canon Powershot before the 2GB card was full.

This video was uploaded to youtube with Verizon’s 3G network while driving back from the trail. Thank you Verizon for having such a kickass 3G network. I have had no AT&T 3G service in Colorado since I left the airport. The video is slanted because the weight of the camera caused my helmet to tilt to the side.

We just conquered the mountain and saw some glorious mountain lakes. We got rained on but we dried ourselves by running down the mountain.

That’s not red eye, just light filtering contacts.

It’s got 4 levels in some places, a bigass fireplace, and a giant climbing rock.

There are a bunch of cool people around here with panels on their roofs.

I just picked up a free copy of The Onion from a newspaper box because Denver is cool like that.
