Being a PR person is tough. Living in Jackson is also tough. But, Penn and Nate always tell us that sometimes we HAVE to tear ourselves away from the office and test some of that great gear that we promote. So this weekend my arm was really twisted and I was dragged kicking and screaming [...]

Philosophy 2.0
Old english proverbs still inspire wisdom during tough times. However, I feel they need some updating. So I brought a few old favorites out of mothballs, wiped them off and gave them a new coat of paint for 2010. “If you give a man a fish, he will eat for a day. If you teach [...]
Dis Post Iz Gud, Yes?
You’ve seen them. The invisible bicycle cat. The invisible sandwich cat. The hilarious photos of silly cats and dogs paired with hilariously misspelled messages. Well, what you don’t know (or I hope you don’t know because if you already know all this that will make for a pretty boring read for you…) is that the [...]
Backbone Summer
Rumors of Carbondale, CO becoming the newly appointed center of the outdoor Universe are yet to be confirmed but recent activity in the surrounding satellite towns of Aspen, Vail and Keystone points to growing harmonic convergence.

They’ve said goodbye to “Old Man” winter and have signed up for spring. It’s time for shorts & flops, longer days, outdoor BBQ’s, float trips, bike rides and of course, weekend trips to [...]
Seth Godin on Driveby Culture and the Search for Wow
Seth Godin, my guru of social analysis and social web analysis has a great post this morning about Driveby Culture and our waning attention spans. The fight for brand attention on the TV, on the web and in print has become staggeringly competitive of late, a mix of niche communities and large-scale flash promotions, all [...]
Polartec Scufoneda 2010
Last week I was lucky enough to attend the Polartec Scufoneda Telemark Festival in the Dolomites near Moena, Italy. I went under the guise of work but it really was way too much fun to call it that. Polartec has sponsored the event for the past 3 years and plans to ramp it up next [...]
