So after not boing on FB for several days, I log in to find out my account has been hacked by someone in Winter Park, Fl. A nice reminder to change my passwords on my email accounts, banking accounts and…..Facebook.

So this is my first winter in Central New York and, as one of the snowiest areas in the whole country and my fancy of cross country skiing, this should be a good mix. I have been putting together a Google Map of cross country ski areas in the Central-Leatherstocking area (plus a little bit of the Western Adirondacks), Catskills and Hudson Valley. Sme have groomed trails, some don’t, some are fee based, some aren’t. Take a look, contact the area before you head out, and have a swell time in the snow!

I met this MC last night who goes by ‘ToTs’. All he raps about is spuds. Yes, the potato in all it’s glorious forms is brought to life by this fella. Surprisingly, he has some pretty solid/evolved views on the humble tuber which can be heard here. You can get your fix at crispyonthemic.com.

This video is a final project created by me and my group as part of our coursework for IST511 – Introduction to the Library and Information Profession (taught by Dr. R. David Lankes). Though it didn’t quite reach the epic filming and production of Apocalypse Now or Waterworld, it was pretty damn close. We had a lot of fun doing it and, wow, it marks the end of the semester and the end of this class.

Yup, thats my car under there.
