This was a show of Michael Franti and Spearhead recently down in Salt Lake City. The show was put on by Avalaunch. An Organization that will be heard about more and more. Their goal is to promote avalanche education, and environmental stewardship through live music, film and snow. They are starting a movement involving lots of topics that all come back full circle.

The relationship between Spearhead and Avalaunch seemed to be a perfect match for the opening of the movement.

I recently ran into an ad for a pretty interesting little gadget. Its a pen, you write anywhere, it digitizes what you have written and then you upload to your computer where it converts what you have written into text on your computer.
Don’t get to excited if you have a MAC, its not compatible.
