The Liquid Image Summit Series is the world’s first snow goggle with an integrated digital camera. The goggle contains a wide angle lens to capture all the action while skiing, boarding, sledding or snowmobiling. The hands free unit has a 5.0 MP (2560 x 1920) camera mode and a video mode that records D1 video (720×480) at a rate up to 30 frames per second with audio.
And they don’t look half-bad either!
This new add-on sounds pretty sweet. Mmm, I predict an eventual third monitor in my future on the iMac. I’ve got just the spot for it. 😉
Unfortunately, it seems like the Zone514 park will not be built again for the 2009-2010 winter season. Instead Park Jean-Drapeau management has decided to build a “super-glissade” which we highly recommend you check out.
This makes me sad… Guess it’s back to making our own improvised jumps in every Montreal park with a steep enough hill (Mont-Royal, Parc Lafontaine, Olympic Stadium, etc). Still a shame though.

So Jeremy moved to Vancouver and now he’s rubbing it in for us… Hah! At least it snowed! :p
I was curious to know who had designed Matt‘s theme and followed the credit link in his footer to Julien Morel‘s site. Stating I was deeply impressed by his work doesn’t even come close to the truth. Simply stunning!
If you *get* the quoted output below, you’ll know how painful that is…

Beastie Boys: Shadrach (1989). Still wondering how long it took to hand paint all these frames. The Wikipedia entry is mute on the subject and searching hasn’t yielded anything useful.
