24 Hours in Travel Hell: Ski Trip 2007
12/6/2009: I wrote this two years ago, after having one of the worst travel experiences I could have imagined. I’m sure many have gone through much worse, but the story was so all-around terrible I had to share. It’s been sitting on my Facebook notes section for a couple of years, and although a bit heavy-handed at certain points I’ve resisted the urge to edit it for the most part. I hope you enjoy.
December 21st - 22nd 2007
All times listed in time at location.
Preface:
After a beautiful, relaxing week in Steamboat Springs on the annual Northwestern Ski Trip (with almost 1000 students, the nation’s largest collegiate ski trip) it was time to go home. Andrew Howard and I’s original plan was to take the shuttle to Denver, fly to Chicago (with a layover in Lincoln, Nebraska) get our stuff from Andrew’s apartment in Evanston, and then drive home to Okemos, MI that night. This is what happened.

This is really amazing. I hope this is what the Apple tablet enables someday.

Gorgeous - the type of timeless, simple, clean typography that makes my heart melt.

Investigators Still Piecing Together Weird-Ass Clues In Fucked-Up Tiger Woods Crash
Outstanding coverage.
When asked if there was anything weird or fucked up in Woods’ bloodstream at the time of the crash, medical investigator Henry Tolliver stated that the accident was not alcohol related. Tolliver also noted that, while it would have been slightly fucked if Woods had driven while intoxicated, the fact that his blood-alcohol level was within the legal limit adds a whole new layer of what-the-fuck to the ongoing investigation.

Got my Droid rebate, but…
This is just ridiculous. I’m loving my Droid but this is just blatant customer abuse. We paid you a lot of money for the device, a dumptruck of money for data, and you are going to try to con us out of $100? Fuck you.

McSweeney's Internet Tendency: North Korea's Most Controversial Standup Comic Performs at The People's Shack of Laffs.
Another classic McSweeny’s post:
Oh, you guys are gonna love this. I read something about Dear Leader in the paper today. Really, you can look it up, this was actually in the paper today: “Dear Leader to Live for 200 Years.” Can you believe this? I didn’t make this up, this was actually printed! 200 years!? Everyone knows that Kim Jong Il is immortal and if he leaves the Earth he will do so on the gilded wings of a majestic dragon!

Another wonderful Venn Diagram
100 days in Glacier National Park
AMAZING photographs by Chris Peterson.
I’m using a mix of film and digital cameras, including an 8 by 10 field camera, a Kodak Pocket Vest camera, circa 1909, and a Speed Graphic, among others. The idea is to use the cameras that would have been used over the course of the Park’s 100 years.
