Vertical Fuego Ski Blog

For obvious reasons, after hearing of the company “Hot Banana,” I had to go to their website and check them out. Turns out they specialize in web content management.

I was pretty surprised however to find out upon loading their site that although they specialize in web content, they can’t seem to keep their own website– their front page no less– updated.

I think the only way they could get any more ambiguous in my mind would be to team up with hotmale.com. Nice one, Hot Banana.

When I’m not shredding up the Wasatch mountains on my Dynastars, I’m doing internet marketing. And one of the important conventions one must attend is PubCon.

PubCon really knows how to do things right. The Pub in PubCon for instance really does mean that there is tons of free beer everywhere.

One of the things I was really impressed with was a new event headed up by Joseph Morin and PubCon called Blogger’s Night Out. Basically, if you have a blog you could email Joseph for a chance to get free tickets. He not only hooked me up but a bunch of friends who also have blogs. The tickets included a special pass to meet one of the Blue Men in a small group with other bloggers after the show.

I love Blue Man Group. This is actually the second time seeing them. I might be looking too deeply into the underlying message of the show, but I draw a lot from it. The Blue Men look identical, covered in blue paint. They also work as one to create music using a clever array of PVC pipes of varied length and percussion. Although they dress and seem identical, they all have their own personality and are distinguishable through their behavior and mannerisms. I might be looking too deeply into it, but the message seems to be one of destroying racial bounderies while still being able to retain individualism.

Other symbols of this is a reoccuring visual theme of DNA. There is constantly a video animated DNA strand being projected onto the walls behind them, and huge multicolored tubes that spin from the ceiling in pairs giving the imagery of spinning DNA. This to me is a symbol of the common denominator of all humans.

Many segments of the show also demonstrate human race unity, such as their segment about urban plumming, a symbol of a connection lying between everyone although many live in isolation. The show is very precussion driven, giving a very tribal feel, hailing back to ancient common ancestors that we might all share regardless of race. The other band members also wear glow in the dark face paint reminiscent of cave men.

Although there are these and many other symbols of human unity, the Blue Men are very unique in personality, demonstrating that individuality is not lost through unity. The show is not preachy at all, and I’m not sure if they really meant it to be about any of this, but I guess that is what makes the message so much stronger for me. You definately come away from the show feeling a lot of love and happiness… and not one sappy hippy acoustic guitar song is played… very refreshing.

Now that Goyin has launched, I wonder what plans they have to spread the news. I’d love to see goyin pop up in these places:

Rite Aid
Safeway
Kroger Food Stores
7-11

I love the goyin juice so much, that I myself would love to help in marketing goyin somehow!

On another note, ski season is coming up! I’m pretty much going to be living up at Alta with the money I’ve been saving up from my latest investments. I want to blog about how GoYin has been really helping me get into shape for the season, and how it affects my performance on the slopes. I think the GoYin juice can be really helpful in keeping up my energy for the 6 hour ski day.

I’ve gone ahead and signed up for goyin, and received a copy of the agenda for the goyin launch party coming up.

This is my first go at a thing like this, and I just hope I can do well with it. I’ve just been so impressed with goyin, the way it helps my sleep patterns, and the way I feel like I have natural energy during the day, nothing like the caffeine kind of high I would usually use with coffee.

So I’m basically hoping the product sells itself. I’ll be going to the goyin launch party, and follow that link to check out the agenda… hope to see you there.

If you don’t know about Mozy, then you should go check out their site. They provide super cheap, super reliable, and super simple online back-up, providing super amounts of space for 5 bucks a month (infinite amounts to be exact).

The only strange thing I noticed since their new site redesign was that they appear to be showing off the fact that OJ Simpson uses Mozy Pro. Now, I don’t know for sure if the former football star/ movie star uses the package, but could it be that they are riding his recent scandal’s coat tails?

Anyway, besides that, I really like their new site design with the pictures of real people whose lives were saved by Mozy.

So I’ve received tons of emails already from people on the goyin forum inviting me to become a member on it. I just might. Thanks for the response, guys.

I just happened on the goyin forum today, have any of you seen this?

Its pretty crazy how some of these people are so crazy about the drink. I like it, but these people love it, want to marry it, and want to have little goyin babies.

So the first thing I did when I got back from my South American ski adventure was get a Jawbone Headset.

My buddy went to this crazy secret underground surf competition in Cambodia where he said he saw tons of celebrities including the “Flying Tomato” Shaun White. He’s the kind of guy you see walking everywhere with a bluetooth headset on, and he swears by the Jawbone. He said at the competition one of those old vietnam helicopters came in and dropped a bunch of surfers into the water from 30 feet up, like in the movie “Apocalypse Now,” but while on the phone he said his friend couldn’t hear the helicopter almost at all.

So I guess these headsets have pretty good noise cancelling abilities. I read somewhere that the military developed the noise cancelling technology for the troops so that tanks and helicopters in the background won’t drown out communications. Its pretty rad, is all I can say.

I’ve been home for about 4 days now from a ski expedition in the Andes. It was a crazy three weeks where we did 7 helicopter drops, and I toured Argentina’s beautiful city Buenos Aires. Maybe I’ll muster up the strength to talk more about it later.

I picked up my dog from the boarding people, she was really happy to see me. I’m excited to talk about my new plan for travel money, its called goyin. Its a brand new high energy drink, detoxication, and mood enhancer. Anyway, back to bed for me.

Since my Andes trip last month, my ski exploits have been on hold while I check out a new network marketing opportunity that’s still in pre-launch called goyin. Anyway, welcome to my new blog, and yada yada, I’ll be posting soon.
