Picnic was fun! I was expecting more folks to show slides though.

the beer is in the store but the show is next door, assuming it's the usual deal

yep, got it reserved

X32 is nice. Very different from granite or basalt/andesite. I was there this afternoon. Was feeling lazy so I mooched TRs off of everyone instead of leading.

So what is the least tagged summit [of some substance] out there in the Cascades? My vote goes for Swiss Peak.

When I moved out here, I shipped at least 100 lbs of books, a cello, a bicycle, and a bunch of random crap via UPS and it wasn't too bad. There was minor damage to the cello at the location of a preexisting injury, but some carpenter's glue fixed that right up. I don't remember how much UPS cost... maybe a few hundred bucks?

I didn't get there until around 8:00, so I'm not sure who was there earlier.

I can bring a fancy computer projektor as part of my "research."

There were at least six of us sitting right by the bigass TV. Dave Schuldt, ChucK, SpecialEd, MattP, AlpineK... > I'm with Matt and Allison on the Alehouse. > Sounds like a deal! So what's with calling the location for a Pub Club and then not showing? Seems pretty lame to me.

As a starving grad student, I don't have money for good cameras.

Sorry, got a little carried away on my love for CF. But I will have 2G worth of CF on me for my Norway trip for both listening to music and taking pictures.

Ok, fine. A week ago I bought a 512MB CF from buy.com for $80 - $15 mail-in rebate for $65. So with this single piece of data, it's more like 1.65X instead of 2X. But there aren't any 1G SDs, whereas there are 1G and 2G CFs. And CF doesn't have any Digital Rights Management bullshit. I don't want my money going to anything that supports DRM if I can help it. I also like the idea of being able to nuke music on the spot from a flash card if I need extra space for pictures.

Is there a decent way to approach from the SE on skiis? The Whitechuck/Chiwawa area looks badass.

SDs work with cameras too. But SDs are pricy as hell. I can get a 512MB CF for $75 and 1G CF for $150 from buy.com. SDs are at least double that price. By CFs work in your camera too, I was referring to other MP3 players that have built-in, non-removable memory (most of them).

Photos were taken with a point-and-shoot Canon S400 (~35-105mm) first is at the cornice just past SEWS second is on the backside of that third is in the gully just below the col that takes you back to the hairpin

I just got a Nex IIe by Frontier Labs. Dimensions: 90mm x 60mm x 20mm Weight (without 2 AA batteries): 65g Playtime with CF card: 20 hours You can buy it barebones ($80) and supply your own CF card. CF cards are dirt-cheap these days compared to MMCs or SDs. And CFs work in your camera too. And you don't need to fuck around with any software. You just put mp3s onto the CF card, just as you would take pictures off the CF card, and that's it. Plug the CF card into the player and you're ready to rock. Or use the mp3 player as a USB drive and cut and paste the files to the USB drive. So it's not the lightest, but it has long playtime and is geek-friendly.

I didn't trundle on anyone. Though I did test and pull off a football-sized handhold that I placed out of the way.

I like the red hues in #1.

The gray action suit was key.

Klenke, where was this taken from, and what's its prominence?
