Same here Matt - no idea what happened. But it started happening late Friday afternoon. At first it looked like the site was hacked - but now it's a weird consulting firm. No idea what is going on.

If anyone finds out, please post a message.

Seems it's been a couple of years since I've wasted everyone's time with a pointless link.

Well, I say it's high time that drought ended.

Do you love Metal? How about Ninjas? Well - Ninja's love metal - so - well...I'm not sure where to go with that.

Oh, well - enjoy!

Don't let the title throw you. Michael Crichton recently made a speech titled Aliens cause global warming . It's long - but one heck of a speech. His argument is solid - and he presents it in a way that is really effective as well. If you have a spare 10 minutes for the read, I highly recommend it. ...

Good general site - but sometimes the links can be hard to track down.

A personal favorite of mine is the Hubble News Center.

Some of the pictures are just spectacular.

Stand in awe of the depravity of Jack-O-Man

I cannot appologize enough for this link.

Interesting post. Well done on the survival part. Sucks that you had to get to that point though. I've been there before too - and it can be a revealing moment. Pete makes an interesting point: He made a decision to survive. We should all hope that we never find ourselves in a situation where we hav...

Well, now I'm really pissed. That sounds like a lot of fun - I'm totally bummed I missed it. Of course - I'm also glad I didn't go. This is the sinus infection from HE**. It would have been the death of me to do that hike in my current condition. But, hey, I'm glad you guys had fun, and maybe one of...

Now that was a funny exchange.

[hack] - don't make me laugh so hard.

I'm officially out of this one guys.

And don't think I'm not pissed about it either.

This sinus infection is only getting worse. I don't even think I could successfully hike Usury mountain right now.

Somebody just shoot me now.

A great day for the 4 Peaks Sanction (remake) Who wants to be Clint? That was a horrible flick. Apparentlly - according to the movie - Zion Canyon and Monument Valley are within spitting distance of each other. There were several fairly good climbing scenes though. But overall a waste of time. Most...

I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning - so if the antibiotics can do a super fast job I may even be feeling human by Saturday. And the doctor is sending me to an ENT for a consultation and possibly another sinus surgery. yea. The first one was just so much fun. Nothing like blowing bloody ...

Well, I just got hit with something I've been fighting off for 2 weeks now. A sinus infection. It's a full blown doozy as of last night - and just getting worse by the hour. This sucks. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning - so if the antibiotics can do a super fast job I may even be feeli...

Actually - I'd give my eye-teeth to climb K2 and Everest. It has been a lifelong dream of mine to do those mountains. That is a completely different animal though. You're going into EXTREME environments and you have the proper gear to take care of yourself. I just don't have the right gear for this ...

I'm down with that. I did it a couple of months ago and them my computer crashed so I lost all of my photos I took. I need more photos!

I'm not aware of any top-rope routs in the sups - a few sport routs that just need runners. I've heard of top-rope routs, but I just don't know where they are.

I'm still in. I don't get out often enough to pass up an opportunity like this. But I am a bit concerned about it. That has never really stopped me before though.

I'd say I'm 80% likely.

Camelback has the most accessable spots - and now is a good time of year to hit them. There's a pretty good local map that you can get at REI of all the available routs. It's hand drawn, but still a good map made by climbing enthusiats. There are also a number of good routs out in Devils Canyon - bu...

Geeze, Fritzski - you're making this sound pretty hairy to do this time of year. I know you're not trying to rain on our parade - but you've certainly made me re-think if I want to do this or not. I consider myself a very skilled and experienced hiker/backpacker - and I have some skill with climbing...

Hey, like I said - you don't have to be. Download the program and give it a shot. Trust me - you'll love it once you do a couple. I've gotten everyone in my office wasting all kinds of production time making fractal images. None of them are math whizzes - or even computer whizzes for that matter. Bu...

That sounds like an invitation to Woopitup to me.
