Live Active Fund

Filed under: Life happenings, pHotOgraPhy, GaDgeTs, cLimBing — j Thompson @ 9:46 am

A few weeks ago John Golden asked if I was interested in documenting his teams climb up Mt Rainier. I had worked with John the previous season up on Mt Shuksan in the North Cascades of Washington as well. John is driven to push himself and others around him. Spending time last fall on Ama Dablam and the spring on Everest. Dr Brian Cole has teamed up with John to create The Live Active Fund to advance Orthopedic Research, Everest as well as the climb here on Rainier were fundraisers for this fund. It was a great climb and great to work with these guys. Take the time to read up on what they are about.

Last night I spent several hours dancing, so much energy and power, music can really get you going. It was a great time feeling the rhythm of BASSNECTAR.


If your into new music and beats check internet dj

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.
