Mike- From one Kailua boy to another (I grew up on Manono St, just off of Oneawa) I am so sorry to hear cancer is on you. I hope you kick cancer's ass and have a swift recovery with minimal lasting...

Thanks for the reminder, just went to Amazon and ordered new sunscreens with Helioplex - not just my usual 85SPF, and not more expensive for the good brands. As a pale kid growing up in Hawaii I was...

There's an imports shop on Hawthorne whose name I can't remember, but they do very reputable work and over half their business is Subies.

Also - If you're an Amazon Prime member, get their video app - can't mirror across screens, but you can watch a lot of content that is not free anywhere else on your iPad.

I have a pair of skis that are begging for these. Dynafits already mounted.
Shipping plus 6 pack money?

I have a 1996 Tacoma 4wd that I adore, but if I had it to do over again (and had parking other than SF street parking) I would have gone the wagon or van plus trailer route.

Here's a pile of ideas from my old stomping grounds: Along with the above advice, be prepared for drippy and chilly weather. You won't need to carry much food as you'll pass through (and probably eat...

Buddies and I have been going to Wing Ridge, nearby, annually for the past 10 years - what a phenomenal area. The guy who runs WAH just bought out the Wing Ridge and Big Sheep ops as well. Seems like...

Here's a shitload of easy to understand charts and explanation about the macro economic issues behind the sentiments of the Occupy Wall Street movement....

This was a lot of fun last year. If I am in town, I will definitely be there.

I want these. I live in SF now, no hurry to deliver/pick-up, but I can get you your $60 via paypal or whatever.

That is a very productive Denali trip: climb the Cassin, run up and down the South Butt a few times, ski both the Messner and the Orient Express, and put in a new line down the south face. Impressive...

I've scoured the app store and lifehacker and still am not finding anything. Some mag must have a rec from me. I don't mind paying or getting a suite of apps just for the calendar. I wonder if the...

I listened to the Cnn/Tea Party debate today. The audience was rude. Loud booing and shouting matches in the back ground - what a foul audience. In general, the Tea Party seems to project a "my way...

Evernote is one of my absolute favorite apps for iPhone/iPad/Laptop - it amazes me how fast and simple it is and how well it works to keep notes filed and syncronized.

Now I want to do the same...

The train is an option, but it is not the fastest or the most schedule flexible. We've identified and corresponded with van-shuttles, but some are booked and some seem to be jerks, so the train is...

The trip is coming together. I leave Friday morning and have Saturday as a logistics day in Anchorage. I still need to get a shuttle Sunday to the park for me and my travel partner, plus our bikes,...

The US Top Gear sucked pretty hard at first, too, but it got better fast. It's not like Top Gear UK was perfect from the start either - they are 14 seasons in now, that is certainly time to work the...

Shralph - any connections would be appreciated
Optimus Prime - Thanks for the PM, it was helpful and insightful
Others - keep it coming

It's like iTunes sharing with a gajillion people - the amount of music available is astounding. There is no curation so unlike Pandora there is no suggestion or next song to surprise you and turn you...

I'm working on putting this trip together and could really use some help with a few things:

1. an outfitter to rent us some of the gear. Shipping bikes and gear to AK is really expensive, so I'd...

I've been thinking about an "ultimate commuter" lately. I'd love to do an internal 8 speed hub with belt drive and disc brakes, but the classic steal frames that I would want to ride every day don't...

Our San Francisco team is hiring a Senior Account Manager.
Don't necessarily need search marketing experience, but some data heavy sales or other digital experience is pretty important. We sell to...

I took an introductory fly fishing class this past weekend and it was well worth the $50. http://www.gigharborflyshop.com
Blake and his team were awesome with me, my 66 year old dad, my 17 year old...

Thank you Wendigo! This is the kind of beta (and ride offers) I'm going to need. Not sure about the pack rafts as I have very little experience on rivers, but I like that kind of thinking.

here's...

Somehow the idea got in my head of taking a vacation up to the Denali area to bike tour. This is an attractive idea because I've always wanted to spend some time in DNP, don't have a ton of vacation...

Bravo! Great TR and great cause.

To add a little to the context here, I'm not necessarily talking about manufacturing jobs - I'd love for us to win those back too, but what I was referring to with my example was knowledge economy...

I'm starting this thread because I posted in another thread about unemployment and wanted to get additional thoughts specific to my comments. Here's the question I replied to:



Here's what I...

The crushing of midwest economies and the (overdue) coming of nationalized benefits (healthcare, retirement) programs will hopefully reduce the demand for overseas outsourcing. My company has been...

As much as I hate it when someone puts on their records at a party or when we are on a road trip, I am definitely interested int he story. My feelings for ATCQ are like that first major girlfriend -...

Last time I was headed up Hood I backed off because it was warming very fast and I had a bad feeling. I've been up top of that heap over a dozen times, but I was bringing along my brother who had...

Nice work. What did you use to create this timelapse?

I have seen something like this. In Brazil.

PM rec'd - thanks Khakis!

Anybody else have suggestions for me on this trip?
What's the smart way to deal with fishing licenses? I can get those here in the US before I head south, right? If so,...

Heading to PV in mid-May to chase Dorado and Marlin with my dad and his buddy who keeps a boat down there. Very excited.
A few questions:
- what do I need to do to get a fishing license before I...

Meadows usually offers a $99ish spring pass beginning March 1st or 15th - they stay open until the crowds stop, some years that is late May some it is mid April. Still, way better skiing than T-line.

You and my dad could form a book club, same exact book recs he was talking up over x-mas. I read Lost City of Z and really liked it. I'm taking a break from Roosevelt currently so River of Doubt is...

I've skied from the top of Hood just once out of the 15 or so times I climbed that heap. From the south side - above Crater Rock is seldom fun, usually chattery, often crowded, and best for saying...

Level 1
Shovel, beacon, probe, avalung backpack
practice 1-2x/season, hard to find practice buddies, but always get a round of beacon hide-and-seak in during the annual hut trip.
Looking forward...

Wow. Not the summer-fun tubing run I usually think of the Sandy as. Nice edit, btw.

I didn't dig Walking Dead either. I have Lihts Out on the DVR, but haven't had a chance to view it yet. Glad to hear good reviews, I'm looking for a new series now that Top Gear USA is going dark...

There is a company in Portland called Mountainsoles that does what you just described.

My buddy works for Pro Guiding Service in Washington - they do all the Europe stuff (Haute Route and many variants) plus a ton of killer stuff in the Northwest and Alaska, and they are really great...

Im glad most of you skipped SkiBowl today. So happy to be back in Oregon for the holidays.
