Pikes Peak – 1985 Audi quattro
[iDevice Link] <— 791,069 views In this video you will see Michele Mouton setting a new record on The 1985 Pikes Peak International Hillclimb in her factory sponsored Group B, Audi Sport quattro S1 with a time of 11:25.39. She was not only the fastest overall in 1985, but also set a record which still remains unbeaten to this day by a female driver. Just another movie for those of you who don't understand the difference between 4 wheel drive... and quattro.
Facebook is Dangerous
“Facebook is amazing because it feels like you’re doing something and you’re not doing anything. It’s the absence of doing something, but you feel gratified anyway.”
Haha – can you honestly say this with a straight face. Read more about this and the girl who sends 27.000 text messages a month in [Growing Up Digital, Wired for Distraction]
2011 is all about the documenting the dangers of facebook.
Facebook is my middle name.
Bon Appetit

HYDLE (Raw) – Tubing at the C Lazy U
I had the ability to adventure Miles Above Ordinary at the C Lazy U Ranch just outside of Granby, Colorado toward the end of last year. What a treat it was to witness the amazing winter activities first hand at this 5-spur rated dude ranch.
Documented Activities:
- Cat Skiing
- Tubing
- Sledding
- Horseback Riding
- 5 Star Dining
3:2 Pull-down
Performing a 3:2 Pull-Down
The most common approach to distributing film’s 24 fps among NTSC video’s 29.97 fps is to perform a 3:2 pull-down (also known as a 2:3:2:3 pull-down). If you alternate recording two fields of one film frame and then three fields of the next, the 24 frames in 1 second of film end up filling the 30 frames in 1 second of video.
As shown above, the 3:2 pattern (actually a 2:3:2:3 pattern since frame A is recorded to two fields followed by frame B recorded to three fields) repeats after four film frames. Virtually all high-end commercials, movies, and non-live television shows use this process prior to being broadcast.
Are you Happy?
Proving the obvious:
Holidays are days when most Americans spend a more-than-normal amount of time socializing with friends and family, which Gallup research has previously shown to relate to higher levels of happiness and enjoyment and lower levels of stress.
The End is Near
“Americans were much more positive about the effect of religion on their own lives in the 1950s and 1960s, including the historic high of 75% who said religion was very important in 1952.”
Are we just waiting for another disaster to strike?
Your Welcome, Hydle
Thank You from NIMBUS INDEPENDENT on Vimeo.
Thank You is exactly what the title states; a thank you to everyone who watches Nimbus.
Thank You begins by interviewing individuals from every walk of life about how they predict the winter. The movie then recaps the best of the last three years of Nimbus. Enjoy!
Nimbus Independent was started in 2007 by Eric Pollard in collaboration with Pep Fujas, Andy Mahre, and Chris Bencheter. The four like minded skiers began Nimbus to bring a different perspective to the world of ski movies.

Losing or Gaining Communication?
I can’t wait to see what happens when these teenagers are actually forced to communicate with someone in person.
On another note…
– Women are 28% more likely to sext over men.
– 31% of us have smartphones.
– 228 million of americans over the age of 13 rock mobile.
– Tomorrow we’ll see how communication will ultimately end the world.
