Camera
When I downhill ski, I carry my camera zipped in my inside jacket
pocket. It is rather small and flat (like my pocket) so it doesn't have much wiggle room. That works well for me. I can't imagine carrying a backpack snowboarding or skiing...much too restrictive for me! |

"lindygrundy" wrote pocket. It is rather small and flat (like my pocket) so it doesn't have much wiggle room. That works well for me. It's not very likely that you take good action shots with a camera that fits comfortably in you pocket. Been there, it's just too much effort to set up for a shot without a decent zoom. I can't imagine carrying a backpack snowboarding or skiing...much too restrictive for me! I have a GoLite backpack made for cross-country racing, it is very light (less than 2lbs) and fits very snugly, so it doesn't bother me at all. Stuff I carry: - 1.5l camelback hydration pack - Extra fleece layer in case it gets really cold, plus a fleece neck band - Screwdriver and some emergency repair bits and pieces - Goggles or sunglasses (I only ride in goggles if I absolutely have to) - Board lock - Sometimes a camera (Panasonic FZ1 nowdays) in a special shell - Misc junk like sunblock, board leash in case resort asks for one, etc. - Cell phone and/or FRS radio - A small flask with Jagermeister I was riding with no hydration and tried to just suff everything in my pockets last season, but found it to be actually more restrictive and MUCH less convinient than a well made and fitting backpack. |

I made a joke recently about who was going to be doing a certain bit of work, to me it was obviously a joke because this person would never do that sort of work but the next day I found him struggling with it.

Michael Clearly you don't know how to speak proper Engrish. That's the problem sometimes with none face-to-face communication, the non-verbal cues and nuances are sometimes lost. I apparently have been guilty of the same problem. Emoticons help though - but I guess I need to be more aggressive in surrounding my "jokes" with just one smiley face wasn't sufficient in one situation. It's a grey area I guess. |

I don't know for sure which smiley Arvin's referring to but I'd already decided to make one last post on the panty-twisting episode (thanks, Jason, for putting a smile on my face). I'll look first at how it started, and then how it ended. Arvin wrote: average, better for some, worse for others. The last time Iain and I engaged in a calculation-intensive thread, it was on this very topic I'm am not getting anywhere near Iain's pseudo-physics subthread! ================================================ See the smiley face? The comment was made in a light-hearted joking manner. But you took it fully serious and became very defensive immediately. What's underlined is Arvin's original comment; but *that* smiley was put there by Mike, not by Arvin. And I think the resulting discussion showed that there was some sentiment behind Arvin's original comment - sentiment that Arvin had every right to express, and I to respond to. As Arvin pointed out, it was a civil exchange except for: Iain wrote: I look forward to meeting you at Kirkwood and I hope the face-to-face impression is better than the one I have right now! That sounds angry and agressive, and I apologise for that. For me some cool things have come out of posting to this newsgroup. One was writing a technical paper with Jack Michaud (who I've still never met in the flesh) - I remember working on that on my PC whilst waiting for the road to re-open to get out of Kirkwood. The response to it on Bomber Online was heartening, with good carvers saying how the understanding that it gave them genuinely helped their riding. Someone even took the trouble to translate it into Russian! But the main benefit has been through the friends that I've made who've become best riding buddies. I genuinely hope I get to share a day's powder with Arvin some time - I'm sure I can learn something from his riding. Iain |

And now we're full circle. You missed my joke. That's the problem with sarcasm. In both my post and your post, sarcasm was used to attempt to get a point across. One thing about sarcasm is that if someone calls you on it, you can back down and say "it was just a joke". - Dave. -- The only powder to get high on, falls from the sky. http://www.vpas.org/ - Snowboarding the worlds pow pow - Securing your e-mail The Snowboard FAQ lives here - http://rssFAQ.org/ |
