3rd Is The Nerd in The Metalflake Dress

Once again, Bruton Stroube nerded out and put a streaming web cam into our car for the Coolfire Pinewood Derby. This year, however, we improved our aerodynamics and moved up from 7th to 3rd place in the final standings.

Check out some pics of our Eric Johnson-hand-carved speed/technology machine (three more after the break). We'll be posting a montage of the car's first-person footage in the next couple days.

Upside Downy Face: The Original Series

Although we uploaded The Upside Downy Face Original Series photos to our web gallery, we thought we'd throw them up here for even easier access. Included are the 12 images shown at the Tin Can on Friday night, plus the other 8 images that we couldn't fit into the space.
 
See the other 19 after the break.

By the Way, Football Season Is Here

We just wanted to remind you that football season is upon us. Which is fun. We also wanted to show you this photo of Brandon, who got on the tracks just before the train came through... Ouch.

How We Rolled... Pinewood Derby REview Part 1

 
Another year, another Coolfire Pinewood Derby in the books. This year, Bruton Stroube's car meshed the nerd chic of wireless technology with the fashion sensibility of an awkward tween with a dash of hot nasty speed for good measure.
 
The Bruton Stroube car, lovingly referred to as Bedazzled, won its first few races, but eventually succumbed to the purely-built-for-speed-with-no-live-feed-webcam cars in the later rounds.
 
In our next issue, we'll share some of the video that came out of our machine. In this issue, we'll talk about what went into the construction of the car.

Floatin'

Did you know our friend Jim Harper (of 4 Alarm Studio fame) is in a band called Stella Mora? Did you know that we had a trampoline? Did you know that this is the same formula I used on my last blog post, but written with words instead of math?
 
Well this is what you get: delightful, floaty swimmingness.

Out on the Plains

 
While on location for an agricultural client, Greg got a chance to shoot some wholesome midwest landscapes. Greg and Matt made their way through western Nebraska and over the border into Colorado. Here's a sampling of the week's photography-- the above selection is from the commercial shoot. Hit the jump to see some of Greg's personal work from the week.

Out Slackin' on the Slopes

Out in Colorado for a weekend of snowboarding and happened to cross paths with the man, the legend, the frosty mustache himself, Mr. Tom Stringer.  Here he is at the North Bowl (maybe 1-2 minutes from watching me roll down the run "White Crown").  Here is a nice big breckenridge map, in case you want to try to find out where we were.
 
Cheers to daylight savings time!
