Whether you love it hate it – Twitter is undoubtedly a major part of the social media world.
The above article questions its long term financial viability.

The Sound of Music
Lets get one thing straight… I am not a politician, nor am I am musician or anything else that ends with “ician”. I’ve been watching the Democratic National Convention this week, as many people have been doing and there are a few things I have picked up.
First, let me say that Backbone has [...]
350 is the coolest number

The Search Is Over
As a single twenty-something PR lady in a ski town, I have to say that I now agree that the old saying that “the odds are good but the goods are odd” is completely on target. No drive, no passion for anything in life, no desire to see and do and spontaneously explore. Or at [...]
Call Me Classy
I consider myself a pretty intelligent and mildly sophisticated woman. But I do live in Jackson, WY. and I just looked down at the to-do list that I had been building on my hand all day and it says the following:
Buy chain lube
Make oatmeal cookies
Buy rifle ammo
Mom flowers
Dirt bike
Yeah…. I think we can [...]
Eco Friendly Fibers – It May Be Green But It's Really Grey
Cotton, organic cotton and wool are all “natural fibers” but does that make them green? See the attached table with estimated energy and water usage for some common fibers. I’m hoping to find the same data on wool, bamboo, and PLA but even the cotton data is pretty surprising. Plus one of the largest footprints [...]
Shell Game
I learned to ski as a kid at a little hill in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia called Wintergreen. It’s a classic East Coast ski resort where the lodge is on the top of the mountain and they hand out trash bags at the base of the lifts so you don’t get soaked by [...]
Baby Steps Out of Gaper-town
I recently (2 months ago) started mountain biking after a few years of intimidation about the sport and the crazies here in Jackson that take it to the extreme. Well, much like every sport I do, I’m not very good at it, but I love it. (With me in this photo is a past Backbone [...]
Chape Goes Grand
I’m a proud father no doubt.
My eleven-year-old son Chapin, my wife Kir and I summitted the Grand Teton on Sunday in perfect weather via the Upper Exum Route.
How would I describe it? Awesome, scary, humbling, burly, proud, beautiful, stunning, funny and a bit stressful.
Chape would describe it as WICKED cool!
We camped two perfect nights at [...]
Start Slow and Taper
Pssshhhhh… 80 miles!
When I think of 80 miles, I think of:
An hour and a half car ride.
A long weekend road bike ride with more flats than steeps.
A multi-day raft trip with a bunch of friends.
But when my friend and colleague, Kara Armano proposed that we do an 80-mile mountain bike ride over the course of [...]
