Web Development and Climbing Rant

Web Development

Today (as I normally do once and awhile) I like to check out web-dev sites. After years of doing this I have come to the conclusion.
It is a waste of time. 2% of the time I see something that is new or refreshing but the rest is just that samey, same (to quote Andy Clarke). I do not understand, another CSS list, another jquery list.... etc. Do we really need another list of some web guys opinion, on what is a "New" design trend? Web 3.0?? I cannot even imagine they use this as a term now. It looks like Web 2.0. The bottom line is keep it simple because now there is more crap and buzzwords that PM's are going to throw around.

Climbing

After climbing 2 days over the last weekend in the Squish, I learned a few new things.

  1. You can bolt whatever you want because no one does anything about it (except the midnight chopper).
  2. People like to bolt routes and not even climb them (R.B. is a pro at this).
  3. If you think an existing route needs a bolt you do this too without permission.

I am not a local from Squamish, but it does not seem right to me that anyone can come in and drill anywhere. This does not happen in Jasper and should not happen in Squamish.
Anyway that is the words that are on my mind.
Mind my spelling and grammar. I am still learning.
