Life in Portland & The Olympics

Had a great evening last night. Went with some friends to the Twilight Crit, a professional bike race held in the Pearl District of Portland. It was great fun; a big, enthusiastic crowd, lots of fast racing, and a great chance to test the new Flipcam. What do you think?



One of the best things about Lewis & Clark is Portland; the city is dynamic, young, and highly enthusiastic and events like the Twilight Crit show that off very well.

This morning I got out for a ride myself and then came home to watch the big O-- Olympics! Several of the rowing heats have been shown already. In addition to getting the opportunity to watch the best crews in the world compete it's always cool to see what NBC has come up with in terms of TV coverage-- the cable cam at the rowing course is simply incredible. In the last two hours I've seen completely new views of rowing.
