Grindstone 100 (2010)



It's hard to put into words, or even to visualize all that goes into being at a 100-mile race. There's a constant unsettling feeling while you wait each hour for your runner to appear, only to watch them dissolve back into the woods 30 seconds later. This race was a whirlwind. We almost could not make it quickly enough to the aid stations before our runner would blow through. There was never a moment of doubt that he would finish the race and as we watched the clock, we realized he was steadily bushwhacking time off his estimated finish. There are no grande moments of crisis in this video, only a short story of a job extremely well done. Congratulations again Dave on a spectacular race on an extremely challenging course.

All Professional

It's the little things in life that get me excited. I received business cards in the mail yesterday for the videography business I've been working on developing. This summer, I had the privilege of meeting a DJ who has referred a number of clients to me. "There's more to come", he says. He just needs business cards to hand out instead of scribbling down the web address and my name on a torn piece of paper. So that's what I did and here's what I have:


The "clean" design seems to be in style these days, so I took out as much fluff as I could, but still left room for a little color and a little fun. The bird has become my staple, trademark, what-have-you, and so I try and include him in one form or another on all my websites and products. I've also developed my coined phrase: "Hatching ideas daily" to describe what I like to do and hint at how I like to do it. I ordered the cards from Overnightprints.com and was extremely happy with the quality, cost, and turn around time. I would recommend them to anyone looking to have professional looking business cards made. They also have many templates from which to choose if you decide to go that route.



So here's the unknown. The possibilities of the coming year. I raise my mug of coffee and say CHEER-IO to another day.
