1 Month Ago

Posted on July 10, 2012 by hydle

It has officially been 1 month since we laid my father to rest. A lot of memories and emotions have stirred my family today … both good and bad. To recap the last 30 days as a complete blur wouldn’t be an exaggeration. As life moves forward and the reemergence of my family as one continues to take place – I still cannot thank you all enough for the love and support you have shown us. If you missed the service on June 15th – I will have a post this week that will share with you the final hour I was able to enjoy with my father. His final playlist.

Fire on the Mountain – Colorado Springs Timelapse

Posted on July 2, 2012 by hydle

[YouTubeUlar] <— 270,487 Wow - through this video it is obvious how the shift in winds on Tuesday created this nightmare of a fire that ripped through Colorado Springs. The dramatic music and captions add to the wow factor - but I think "Fire on the Mountain" by The Grateful Dead would be a better selection — yes, that was a joke... but it has meaning. For everyone who has expressed concern for the McCulloch Colorado Springs Compound... their house is thus far ok. The Waldo Canyon Fire would have had to burn through a lot of homes to reach theirs... which it nearly did, but fortunately the firefighters were able to hold their ground. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of their neighbors and friends who have lost their homes due to this Colorado Fire Season of 2012. We have loved ones who lost a home in Fort Collins and it is so sad.

Goodbye Father

Posted on June 11, 2012 by hydle

Hydle update — Yes, it is true… My father Les Hydle was put to rest last night, Sunday June 10th, 2012 at 10:00pm after suffering traumatic injuries from a motorcycle crash only 2 blocks from my home. He was not at fault in this accident … A driver turned left directly in front of him as he was leaving my neighborhood following a heartfelt visit to show me his newly purchased 2008 Yamaha Venture. This bike was his dream.

I was fortunate to have the opportunity of spending the last waking hour of my fathers life showing him adventures and telling him stories from incredible projects I have recently worked on. I made him sit and listen to music… the way he used to make me when I was a kid. He loved music – and he loved the music I was sharing with him. Our final moment will never be forgotten.

I can not say enough to all the support I have received from all my friends and family. Every visit, note, message, gift, thought and prayer has been felt and my family and I thank you.

I love you dad. And thank you for giving me the opportunity to watch you rev your engine one last time, and ride off on your new dream.

Tony Fadell – What is the source of your creativity?

Posted on June 7, 2012 by hydle

[Vimeo] <— 5,786 I was lucky enough to meet Tony Fadell in 2002 at Apples World Wide Developers Conference. He was a busy guy... but we connected for a brief conversation about awesomeness. He went on to create some of the most amazing gidgets and gadgets we carry in our pockets at Apple and is now working on an automagically self programming thermostat that you just want to hold.

Cheers to 99% for standing him up and asking some decent questions.

Posted on May 25, 2012 by hydle

[YouTubeUlar] <— 23 I just learned we kind of have access to a Phantom camera. It's exciting to think about what you would like to shoot at 1 million frames per second - Machine guns are definitely on that list. If you would like to setup a personal Machine Gun Tour similar to this one. Don’t hesitate to contact Alan Samuel directly in the network section.

John Lynch – ABROAD

Posted on May 25, 2012 by hydle

[Vimeeeeeo]

Todays “sit down and watch” video is brought to you buy a traveling friend Katie Hilborn. While Katie is traveling and rocking out Phuket she is also sharing solid work from her friends.

Discussing the message of his new film, John Lynch states,

“It’s about how meeting fellow travelers can open up your world. I hope this movie encourages others to get off the tourist trail, throw away their itineraries, and get involved with something out of their comfort zone; stepping in to make a difference is much more rewarding than just being an observant tourist.”

On a personal level, he found satisfaction in the fact that he “did not just find a story to tell, but lived a story worth telling.”
