Designosaurus

I spent the last weekin the Alps and it was prob­a­bly one of the most mem­o­rable things I’ve done. Every day con­sisted of sleep, eat, ski, eat, ski, nap, eat, drink, watch a pre­sen­ta­tion on design, eat desert, drink, play games and repeat. I miss that rou­tine already. I never really thought ski­ing would be as easy to pick up as it was but I was headed down red slopes by the end of my 4 days there (blue is for idiots, black is for geniuses and red is in the mid­dle. I was just an idiot on a red hill). Albeit I was often headed down on my butt or face.

A typ­i­cal scene with the stu­dents and profs drink­ing and play­ing games made for children:

Jenga tower for advanced players:

On the last night there was an ice bar made of packed snow on the back porch. Some­one had setup the dig­i­tal project to shoot out of the top floor win­dow and onto the snow in front of the bar. It started out as just a nat­ural screen to watch videos on but it soon turned into a live-​​action pho­to­shop game with guys run­ning around and jump­ing on the but­tons to pick col­ors and paint in the snow. The pro­jec­tor was so bright that we could shine it onto the side of the nearby moun­tain and still make out what was on the computer.

and of course the scenery, my only regret is not get­ting to the top of a moun­tain with my camera:
