Netbooks seem to be the new rage in tech gear these days (especially for all the flashpackers and tech loving travelers out there). But, what are netbooks and how are they different from notebooks? I asked myself) Netbooks are light-weight, low-cost, energy-efficient and highly portable and compact little laptops. While these mini computers have fewer features and less processing power than more conventional laptops, these little computers are perfect for browsing the web, doing word processing and performing other general purpose applications. This is especially true during the summer months and in warmer climates. Well, the Outdoor Research Avido Jacket …

We had a wicked time driving through the vineyards and tramping up Te Mata Peak and had a really interesting time with …

Rock climbing

Aid climbing (climbing using equipment that act as artificial hand- or footholds) became popular during the period 1920 - 1960, leading to ascents in the Alps and in Yosemite Valley that were considered impossible without such means.

The book club meeting was great. I love to read but over the past several months have unintentionally shoved it aside for other things.
