We got a new HD flip video at the office. I love it, it’s so teeny tiny. Don’t worry I’m not going to start video blogging or anything like that, I hate being in front of the camera. But I’ll try bring it to Good Vibes to record all the old school acts like Salt-n-Pepa and Naughty by Nature. Still can’t believe the strange line up.

The place I was house sitting last week had a really cool sound system with speakers in the ceiling of every room and all along the balcony. The best thing about the sound system was that it was hooked up to a Sonos system. Sonos is kind of like a open iTunes library where you can search for any song you want. You can search by song, album or artist name. When you find the song (or album) you want to listen to, all you have to do is press play and it will immediately start playing. There’s no need to download the song or pay for the song, it just immediately starts playing over the sound system. Amazing, I know. So if you’re in the mood for some Kings of Leon (as I always am), just search for them and you can sit back, relax and enjoy the sweet sweet voice of Caleb Followill. Ahh…

If it’s a song (or album) you like and will listen to quite often, you can add the songs to your library so the next time you open your playlist it’s right there, no need to search for it.

On our recent trip to Perisher, G had to pay $25 to get her bindings fitted because we didn’t know how to fit them ourselves and didn’t have the right tools. Little did we know, it’s dead easy. One place even tried to charge us $50! Yeah right, what a rip!

To ensure we never have that problem again I pulled apart my setup to see how it all worked, I must say it was alot fun. The bindings we got are so customisable, there are more options than we know how to tweak. But of course I made sure I tweaked everything, just for kicks.

To ensure we had the corect tools with us, I jumped online and found this awesome pocket snowboard tool. It’s the Dakine cool tool. Now I could have just gone to Bunnings and got any screw driver set, but you know if I want to make it pro someday (yeah, dream on), you’ve got to have the right tools. I got it online for $22 (includes express postage) from this place called Surf Stitch. I did look on ebay, but when you factor in international shipping, Surf Stitch worked out to be cheaper and a lot quicker. They also sent this little freebie. A copy of Stab magazine. Sweet!
