Restaurant Guide to Park City, UT - by Casey

Friday, July 18th, 2008

I don’t live in Park City anymore, but that doesn’t mean it’s not the best ski or mountain vacation in the world. When I moved there I was struck by the lack of a good local guide to nightlife and restaurants (sorry, Park Record/Flipside, you suck). I dabbled with making one but decided [...]

Don’t stare at the rocks

Saturday, March 31st, 2007

I haven’t posted in a while. Oh well.

I made a connection that seemed profound as I was falling asleep last night and thinking about how fortunate I am.

Don’t stare at the rocks.

This was the first useful piece of advice I received when I was learning to mountain bike. It works like [...]

Buon Giorno

Friday, June 2nd, 2006

I’m in Italy, and it kicks ass. I came here with my parents and spent 3 nights in Florence and then moved to Venice. So I’ve gotten all the tours that cost money and good food and stuff. Lots of good food. And Chianti. Tomorrow I head back to Florence [...]

DVX II!

Wednesday, April 5th, 2006

I went on a camping trip and took lots of pictures, so I should post them. But I’m leaving early tomorrow morning for Kona, Hawaii, so they’ll have to wait until I get back.

I uploaded one picture just to make the post pretty. It’s me attempting to fly. I guess the F18 [...]

Hella Math

Sunday, March 26th, 2006

This weekend was fun. On Saturday I got up at 6am to go to LA (conference at Occidental) and give a talk on the Electoral College (based on my thesis, yeah I give that talk a lot). It went well because I gave the exact same talk in my Math Forum class on [...]

Spring Break!

Tuesday, March 21st, 2006

I had a spring break. It was cool. I caught up on all that stuff I’d meant to do last fall. Except my statistics course. Still working on that one.

I also snowboarded Mount Baldy and it was great. Accidentally when down a rocky cliffish thing but only my snowboard got [...]

Always June

Tuesday, March 7th, 2006

Pile into Pomona’s “Alumni Van” and drive to June Mountain. Exhaust yourself snowboarding. Drive back to school. Sound familiar?

Last weekend I and one of the kids from the last June trip co-led another ski trip to June Mountain. It was even better than the last, and we stayed 2 days. [...]

Interlude

Tuesday, February 28th, 2006

I thought this page was a lot more exciting when there was a new set of cool camping pictures on it every week. Unfortunately I couldn’t keep that up, but I did just get some pictures from the Hearst Castle trip I did like three weeks ago. I think I took like one [...]
