POV update
So I was able to get out and use my new toy yesterday. One big problem I discovered is that when I put the camera in the harness, the wheel on top of the camera that changes the camera from video to still shots will turn, so I have a lot of 1 second videos where I start the video, put the camera in the harness, and that will turn the wheel and stop the video. I was able to get two videos though. On is skiing and one is biking. The skiing takes place on the back side of Brighton, and the biking is the rhythm section at the I street jumps.
After I watched the videos, I realized I had a runny nose, so I sniff a lot in the videos. I apologize for the excessive sniffing. I can see that I need to take tissues with me when I bike and ski. The videos are a little shaky, so if you get nauseous easily, don't watch cuz I don't want puke all over my blog.
If you thought that last one was too shaky, well this one is worse.
So as you can see from the second video, I need to change the camera angle for biking because no one wants to stare at the handle bars.

POV camera
I've started biking more since I am unemployed. And often while I'm riding I think to myself, "Why isn't someone chronicling my awesome biking skills with a camera?" I can't figure this out, but I've come to the conclusion that if no one wants to film me, I'll just have to do it myself. That's why I need a POV camera (Point Of View). The problem I can't buy one cuz I don't have a jorb (ironic how it all ties together). So I've had to make my own.
This is what I have come up with:

It's three straps I bought at recreation outlet, and a piece of cardboard. I wear it like a baby bjorn. It looks pretty dumb, but I think it works well. Judge for yourself:
Now I will regularly update you on my amazing biking.

DDR
Erin and Ginger have devoted a corner of our apartment to DDR. This is how they start the morning on any given day.

St. Patrick's Day Update
St. Patrick's Day
We went to Discovery Gateway in the morning as a family because admission is free today. It was pretty packed when we got there (at 10:00) and it was really packed when we were leaving. Ginger it was okay. Everything there was meant for kids a little bit older than her. So most of the displays are about 5 inches too high for her. The display she liked most was the car.

While the car was her favorite display there, the most interesting thing for Ginger was when she saw a bird outside by the helicopter.
On the way home we stopped at the taco stand on the corner of Abravenel Hall. Of all the taco stands that I have frequented in the Salt Lake area, I think these are the best. I would highly recommend stopping here for tacos.
