I was reading ED’s myspace (btw – does anyone know how you can get an rss feed off of myspace?) when I found this link from him: Welcome To Abandoned South Carolina
They go to all of these cool creepy places and take pretty good photos. Unfortunately the site is all done in flash, so I can’t deep link or give you a sample easily. But it’s way cool. I used to live not too far from these mills and like every other kid in colatown I had to spend time exploring these tunnels under 5 points. Lotsa cool moody photos, worth the visit.

Daniel’s gotten started in his flickr page by uploading some great moody shots from Manchester.

Everytime I go to London it is sunny and nice and everyone tells me how miserable it usually is. This is more convincing than all that talking.

You know who’s still cool in South Cack? My buddy Skylar, who’s running .:Swanky Gruel:., a DIY girly site. It’s the best kind of use of the internet. Okay, best non-dirty use of the internet. It’s local, global, free and it forms a community.

Me likey.
Now I just need to go help them out with this whole RSS syndication thing. For me, right now, if it doesn’t have a feed, it really isn’t on the internet.

My man Sol just posted a bunch of pics from his trip to Mt. Baker. It looks gorgeous out there – I’m jealous!

Check out his great photo set on Flickr.

Sam and I are going with friends to the carnival in Brazil. We’ll be in Rio and someplace in Bahia. I’ll be offline and without cellphone. If you know of some great thing in Brazil to check out, or if there is something legal you want me to bring back, please let me know before friday.
I’ll be gone Friday, Feb 24th and back Monday, March 5th.
Burglars, please note: I don’t have much valuable stuff and our attack cats will be on patrol. You’ve been warned.

The New Year’s party this year is out at Tahoe. I plan to break my shit somewhere in their 5 awesome parks. All my best to you and yours in the new year!

All 3 of you.

Check out this amazing deal from airtran. The gist is this: You get 64 UPC’s from wendy’s 20 oz or greater cups. You mail them to AirTran. AirTran mails you a coupon good for a round trip ticket anywhere they fly.

I could just tell the hobos on my block that I am buying wendy’s 20oz cups for 25 Cents a cup. Voila – round trip ticket for $16 (plus tax and fees). Who wants to go to Colorado? Or, since airtran flys from madison to vegas, maybe Squiggles could use this to fly to vegas, then hop a cheap flight from there to reno?

BTW, squiggles – dude, why am I not on your links list? Maybe I should start hanging out with this guy, who’s page I found when looking for yours.

Into the fun,

I just got back from Breckenridge Colorado Monday morning. We flew out late on wednesday night and caught a redeye back to nyc and straight to work from there.

It was really great stuff. Every day was a powder day and we slept in the swankest condo ever. I managed to get a 180 off. It appears to be something I can do once a year.

Check out more pics from the flickr photo set.

Some work buddies and I have gotten a flight out to Denver for Dec 1-4. We haven’t booked a place to stay yet though. We’ve been looking at Copper Mountain or maybe Breckenridge.

I want to keep it as cheap as possible but also get the best snow we can get. Anyone know of good deals or a mountain that’s a great bet? Drop me a line at thisblogsnameprebloggerdotcom at gmail.com or let me know in the comments. Any ideas are appreciated!
