Technology on the Slopes

Last weekend I went skiing at resorts in the Salt Lake City area. It was last year on this visit that I “took the plunge” into learning how to text on the primitive phone I used at the time. This year I returned triumphant iPhone in hand. I greatly enjoyed listening to inspiring music while skiing. I was able to send and receive texts and calls up there. And on one occasion when my partner called (and I was just about to take an oxygen break), I was able to take the call, snap a picture of myself in that very moment, and send it to him during the call.

Here are a couple of shots I took on the trip.

That’s my friend Ralph on the left.

And that’s me – still on one piece.
