Yes, I am a model. oh yeah..... I look fabulous!!!!! :) [UPDATED with orig photo]

Mary Dawn (owner of Alpen Schatz) was very desperate for a male model so she convinced me to do this photo shoot for Telluride Style Magazine.

The day of the photo shot was a dreary rainy day, but the photographer overexposed the background, and it turn out great. The photo shoot was taken at the Telluride Airport. We were all a little disappointed where the photo was placed, (in the crease of the magazine), but it is cool none the less.

Smokie and Schlappi look good too :)

Here is a zoom-in shot.



Here is a shot of both pages. (note, the majority of my blog readers are male, so I wont be surprised, if they focus on the other shots on the page)


[UPDATE: We got the original file from the photographer. He retains all rights] The photographer did a GREAT job with the exposure!

Yelp and Bridal Category

I was checking out Yelp (a review site) over lunch today




I noticed that Bridal Veil Power station was under the "Bridal Category". I guess that would make sense if you were a computer but anyone living in T-Ride knows better. :)

Check out the images on google for the real Bridal Veil Power Station.

youTube vs google video vs blip.tv

Ok, after the youTube audio mysterious got un-synced from the video.  (it initially worked for a while after I uploaded it). So, I read up on different video services and tried out blip.tv and google video.

Google video had the exact same problem as youTube with the audio. I guess no surprise there since both are google products.

Wow, the quality on blip.tv is GREAT.  Also downloads faster too.  Hmmm.  Try for yourself below on the same uploaded file.

My beer "plan" at Telluride Bluegrass festival (http://www.bluegrass.com/telluride). It is supposed to be hot today. So start out with Skinny Dips and Sunshines. Then for dinner, have a 1554 while watching Ricky Skaggs & Bruce Hornsby. Then enjoy some FatTire with my Leftover Salmon with a 2Below for desert.

Informify: to-the-point news for on-the-go-people

A quick plug for www.informify.com website.

I have been increasingly visiting informify for my news summary for the week. It gives a refreshing different "feel" on the top news stories.

I still use other news sources, but it rounds out my news gathering experience.

Give it a look to see if it works for you.

Mary Dawn is Famous

Mary Dawn was on local TV (PlumTV) the other day promoting her Telluride Stammtisch.

Butterfly collections will never be the same. (watch the video to find out why)

The initial 3 seconds did not upload correct, but the rest of the video is of high quality.


oh, yeah, I make a small, small appearance toward the end. :)

Enjoy and Auf Wiedersehen!!!!
