The fatalaties
Our latest photoset on flickr is from last weekend’s trip to the Great Sand Dunes National Park with some friends. It was pretty crazy, I had no idea that sand dunes existed in colorado. They are apperantly the tallest sand dunes in North America, and we climbed to the top of the second highest dune. It was very exhausting, and quite surreal. Just a few hour away, there are miles of sand dunes surrounded by mountains over 14,000 feet tall. And we climbed around and slid down them for most of saturday. Some guy brought his snowboard along, that was really cool. Sadly I have no pictures of that because our digital camera suffered mortally from the extreme conditions. Apperantly 50 mph wind gusts with walls of very fine sand is bad for electronics, go figure. I don’t think it’s possible to clean that sand out of the lens assembly… ugh. Everyone else on the trip made the same mistake though, I wonder how many cameras fail in that harsh environment.Becca started her new job today, we’re very excited about that. Becca’s been just a wee bit nervous. Now she’s crabby after her big day.Interesting things afoot in the web analytics world. Google released Analytics yesterday. Which is really just Urchin, which they bought several months ago. The big news though is that it’s free. Yeah, freaking altruistic google. We had been using Urchin for analytics for a while now, and it’s kinda thrown us into a weird situation.
