PC’s Suck
Backbone has always been and will always be a Mac office. After recently purchasing a PC to run a more robust version of Quickbooks, I am now more convinced than ever that Microsoft and PC’s completely suck. There’s no way Crispin Porter can possibly make Microsoft cool – but I applaud them for taking their money.
Don’t Kill Your TV (just yet)
A recent flurry of television coverage resembles the forecast for this weekend.
Avalanches and the Black Diamond AvaLung continue to be a hot topic popping up on Good Morning America with Andrew McClean and Marit Fisher as well SLC’s FOX 13.
1% For The Planet also got some air time with the contrarian story of the rise of sustainable giving when charitable giving is at a near all time low. CNBC spoke to 1% Co-Founder Yvon Chouinard about the emerging trend and asks – is our capitalistic society beginning to think sustainably?

Checking in with Backbone for the past weekend and coming week.
JLD wrapped the Aspen/Snowmass FAM – shout out to Roger T, Chris C, Grace B, Vicky and Rico. Lindsay B toured at the Eiseman.

Sarah attended Greg Epstein’s Annual extreme sledding party with Dax neither leaving in the ambulance that arrived. Sue skied and trained her German short haired pointer, Kara skied and did NOTHING. Mavis slid fun boxes on pins.
So, how does that differ from work?
Let’s see…this week, Nate is meeting Dax in Denver for total immersion, Ian and Greg are off to Boulder and Fort Collins on a social media tear, Jess is at Copper for on snow testing and Penn is in NYC for 1% event.
Rust never sleeps.
