Technology is hard with hooves for hands

Ok, so it proved to be more difficult than expected, but I've got the Man-Ox slideshow working (to the right of your computer screen). Initially I tried to set it up using Flickr, so I could be hip like the cool kids, but wasn't able to restrict it to just my pictures.

You'd be surprised at how many pictures on Flickr match the description Man-Ox, or the user chadwickh. I had nightmare visions of one of my more mischievous friends posting something either obscene or embarrassing (or obscenely embarrassing) that would show up in my slideshow. Hello, Mom!

Things have been relatively low key the last couple of days - I took a hike by myself from the Allenspark Trailhead to the Calypso Cascades on Thursday, and yesterday we greased the wheels of commerce. I got a new Olympus camera, which is shock-, water-, and hopefully ox-proof. I'll be using it while Jen uses the "nice" SLR camera. I did not, however, get one of the new iPhones. Although I'm consumed with geek lust for it, I just couldn't see waiting in line for 3 hours to get one. I'll try again on Monday (nothing like putting it off until the last minute).

Jen's friend Cari came by today, and it looks like tomorrow we'll all hike the Twin Sisters trail - which means more man-ox pictures.

Speaking of pictures - Jen got a great shot of one of the divers at Chasm Lake - I'm not sure what would possess you to do this, since Snow is God's way of telling you it's cold.



Tomorrow the tale of Sydney the devil dog.
