Telemark skiing...
Mood:  a-ok
This past (ski) season i've got into telemark skiing - the more natural, original form of skiing. It is great fun, especially if you're a bit bored of alpine skiing. A great website for finding out more is telemarktips.com.

I only managed 18 days of skiing this year, of which i think 7 i did tele. It feels so much freer being able to lift your heel. Alpine skis, though they feel 'safer', especially going fast, also feel more restrictive. Bending one knee on the turn can be a little tiring after a couple of hours though!

New blog eh?
Mood:  cheeky
Ah... so new blog. Well, i say new but i never had one before. So stuff i've been doing that may be interesting... I've been taking part in an online discussion group at the ICE called "Engineering and Philosophy". I posted the other day on the subject of whether engineering is an art or a science, and how using the scientific method can help engineers make defensible decisions. You can view the discussions on the ICE website, although i'll have to post the link because they are very very hard to find.
