New Starts, Safe Finishes
So, the blaq design weekend at Snowshoe was a wonderful time out. If you haven’t gotten a chance to get out there for a few days of mountain biking, it’s definitely worth the experience. Unfortunately, I was totally afraid of breaking my camera so I didn’t take it out on the trails, but I got a few beautiful snapshots of the resort, which you can check out here.
On to other things – I started a new job last week. I’m finally a full-time web developer, working on ASP.NET 3.0 to boot! I’m now working in downtown Cleveland, which is a big change in both a location and a drive, but it’s looking like this is a great opportunity to learn some cool stuff and to have a different experience in life. Of course, it’s a big change to my life – I had to join a new gym, and I had to get a new car (VW GTI, more on that later, hehe).
One last thing, to end on a funny note. Since we took our Snowshoe vacation on my week between jobs, I apparently didn’t have health insurance! Luckily no serious damage was done – just a few bruises and scratches. If I’d have ended up in the hospital, it would have cost a bit more than I had bargained for. Those downhill runs at Snowshoe are pretty insane in places, so coming home in one piece is certainly not a guaranteed thing.

Hey Jon!
Glad the new job is working out for you. Sounds like its a good fit for you – working on the latest and greatest. You are crazy for mountain biking without insurance though
