I've never found this before, but this is hilarious. One of my favorite bits is down in the FAQ's:
"Q: "This thing is broken. I can't see anything!"
A: Internet Explorer is the worst web browser ever created. Use Firefox (www.getfirefox.com) or Chrome (google.com)."
Finally, someone understands, and threw IE under the bus.
Apparently this is the first in a series of many, many trance compilations. My particular version seems to have extended cuts of the songs, meaning that I could have really used some ecstasy when listening.
3.0/5 - Good, for trance drenched in '90s beats and melodies. Real McCoy could have had a field day with any of these beats. One of these nights I'm going to get blasted and dance around to this naked around my apartment.

Classifies programming languages as "critical foreign languages," that would "create a competitive matching grant program for schools, particularly those in low-income areas, to create new ways to teach computer science and engineering, in tandem with universities and non-profits."
So I'll be in Anchorage from the 21st to Jan 4th. I think this year my visiting family schedule will be a lot less hectic which may actually leave me with some free time. So I propose an outdoor adventure.
So those of you who remember the bitter cold of our last outing and the technical mistakes that made it pretty difficult to eat, have fun, want to continue living, or like me end up with giant ass blisters on my heels because I wore shitty boots. Not sure if this year will be more friendly to our cause, but I'd be interested in giving it a try.
Also I have to say I've never even heard of this but it sounds hella amazing and I'd love to try it some day. The Eklutna traverse (chugachpeaks.com) is like a way more badass crow creek pass trip. And for the most part there's cabins all along route which are really neat looking, but it does mean a lot of glacier travel.
Yeah i think the weekend after Christmas is my best bet. Not sure where to go, probably somewhere out of glen alps again. Maybe up towards rabbit lake? Though back towards Willawa lakes was pretty decent. Pretty much don't care where I go so long as I go, and of course I will probably need to adjust any plans depending on conditions anyway.
I have everything one would need for the Eklutna traverse, and depending on your foot size enough for two people even, because now I have extra plastic boots provided you wear something in the 10-11 range. Otherwise AMH rents the ski's and a climbing helmet. By the way I plan on bringing some of my climbing gear with me, mostly because I was able to play around on some waterfall ice a couple weekends ago and it was way fun. But ice is pretty hard to find here in the cascades and I figure it might be easier to find some out of Anchorage while I'm there. So if you're slightly interested in maybe have the opportunity to try something I can in fact bring some extra gear up. A proper stove will be my number 1 priority and I have one I don't have to worry about flying with now.
These animals are goddamn terrifying. (www.youtube.com) I expect this is just a sampling of what the Cretaceous offered.
Finally got around to rating this beast of an album (I say beast, because apparently I purchased the edition with extra tracks... and it clocks in at over an hour and a half!). In any case, this album is the definition of beating a dead horse. While the music is generally pretty good, this self-proclaimed breakup album with religion just goes on lyrically far too long on this one theme. While I generally appreciate songs with this theme, it became too much even for me... WE GET IT. In any case, the best songs are strong enough to save this album from being a complete chore to listen to.
2.5/5 - Average indie release. The strong songs keep this from being below average.
Mainly for Crock (www.youtube.com). Same dude that did TNG Let it Snow. This guy is an ultimate nerd.
