We went to Little Sahara, Utah this weekend. Here are some pics.

(more…)

I am leaving to pick up some ATVs in a few hours.  My buddy rented some ATVs and we are all heading to Little Sahara, which is about 2 hours from here.  It is basically sand dunes.  Im pretty excited.  We are going for the weekend.  Ive got the top down and doors off of the jeep, so the ride should be pleasant.  I plan on taking as many pics as my camera will allow until the battery dies.  I gotta go get ready.  Later.

Im blogging cause it came up in discussion in the class Im in.  Monday’s set of interviews with IBM went well.  I flew from Salt Lake City to Dallas Fort Worth, then to Austin.  I was on a plane form 5AM to 11AM.  I had interviews with about 5 different people from Noon to 3PM.  I then had a flight back to Salt Lake City at 6PM.  I was early at the airport and got to catch and earlier flight back.

The interviews went well.  I hope to hear back from them some time this week.  I have another interview with IBM at my school today at 1:15.  Wish me luck.  I have no idea what the location is for the interview today.  My guess is it will be for Raleigh, North Carolina.  Who knows, I will find out when I get there.  Until next time…

Ive got quite an awesome schedule ahead of me.  I have social psychology and world cultures from 8 to 10 on mondays, wednesdays and fridays.  I then have enterprise projects from 10 to 2 on mondays, wednesdays, and fridays and from 8 to 12 on tuesdays and thursdays.   Our project for enterprise projects is for Fidelity and is pretty cool.  Seeing as how its thursday today, I may try to go up to the mountain to snowboard for a few hours.  Im glad I worked so hard in past quarters.  Now my last quarter will be excellent.

Recent Observations:

You would think very expensive TVs would be smart.  Nope.  I just sat down and turned on my father’s big screen tv to remember I left the tv on Video 6 from when I was watching Entourage.  Having to flip through 9 tv video settings can be a real pain.  Why can’t they develop the feature of having tv video automatically pick up feeds on whatever is plugged in, and only display those tv video channels.  I know for a fact this can be done, and probably really easily.  Oh well, look for this feature in the future.  Someone right now, somewhere, is at the patent office with this idea.

Take me home.  My flight for friday was cancelled so I had to wait until tomorrow.  I got in a lot of snowboarding and even more frustrations.  Right now, I need to get home to see my greatgrandfather in the hospital.  The next 3 months of my life will either be the easiest or the hardest, I’m not too sure yet.

I just put the top down to my jeep on this amazing day.  The weather is glorious.  I fixed the zipper the correct way so my top can go up and down easily, but ripped the end of the zipper a bit.  I was going to go snowboarding from noon to 4 today, but had a presentation to give for enterprise projects.  I am going to go tomorrow night and thursday, and attempt to go friday morning before my flight home.  I have a feeling these next few days will be my last snowboarding in utah.  With temperatures in the 70’s, the snow wont hold up for long.  I hope I can get as much t-shirt snowboarding in as possible.

I went snowboarding yesterday from noon until 3.  It was one of the best days yet.  I know I say that a lot but it keeps getting better as it gets warmer.  Yesterday, I was boarding with just a t-shirt on.  Later on in the day, it started to get slushy.  Besides that, I hit quite a few jumps.  Normally, I dont, but after hitting one for about 30 feet of air, I was psyched.  After landing that, I was trying to hit everything that remotely resembled a jump.  I am going to try to go every possible day this week before going back to Jersey.  A lot of students and I are going to Brighton Wednesday night.  I cant wait for the week to be over.  I need a vacation.  5 more days…

I saw the midnight showing of 300 last night in IMAX.  It was my first IMAX experience and I am blown away.  It’s like giant HDTV.  300 was well done.   The cinematography was incredible.  There were more deaths in that movie than every movie from the 80’s and 90’s combined.  Drinking that Rockstar during the movie wasn’t a great idea seeing as how I only slept about 3 or 4 hours last night.  All in all, last night was great.
