Nice post. I’ve used a ton of exercise equipment and always found that a rowing machine was best – low impact and gives a full body workout, plus they pack away nice and small!

Hey Roz,

Did you read about obama’s pledge today?

Big stuff, yes? How’s it seem to you?

Roz,

Initially I was excited to see you were part of the NGS lecture series in Seattle on March 22 & 23, then I checked my calendar and found that those days conflict with a commitment to participate in a conference aimed at increasing public awareness of the recreational value of and environmental status of our local river here in Spokane, Washington.

I became a fan of yours after seeing your film at Banff last November. I recently finished your book and if you haven’t already had it entered in the Banff Mountain Book Festival, you need to do so. I for one think it will make it as a finalist. I say that as a pre-screener – one who selects the finalists – who has a pretty good record at picking the eventual finalists.

As an additional FYI, I recommended that my friends at Banff consider contacting you regarding your participating in a festival soon.

Keep up the good work an I look forward to meeting you some day soon.

Thanks, Christopher. I think the main cost was actually at the artistic end – creating a menu, designing the DVD case, etc – so we would still need to find the finance for that. But I’ve filed the Lulu information for future reference. Thank you!

This difficulty in getting someone else’s coffee in my own re-usable mug boils down to legal liability. The coffee-shop’s cups are certified clean and free of contaminants but mine isn’t, so if they fill mine and I catch something nasty the blame will fall on them. Also, their cups are of a standard size and mine isn’t so they would have to measure the dose and then decant into my mug.

The only solutions are to patronise the sort of place that doesn’t do take-out coffee but expects you to sit down at one of their tables and drink it out of proper chinaware that they can wash up after you’ve gone (it tastes much better then), or forgo coffee and carry a bottle of water – stainless-steel of course.

Lulu will make/sell DVD’s at a cost starting at only $7.50 per disc, with no minimum.

I haven’t published any DVD’s, but I have published 2 of my father’s children’s books there:

The pricing was as Lulu describes (no hidden fees), and the upload/publishing process was almost as easy as they describe.

It gets more complicated if you need an ISBN (e.g. to sell on Amazon), but you don’t have to start out that way. (Note: I don’t know if DVD’s even need ISBN’s.)

Hopefully one day. But the costs of producing a quality DVD are surprisingly high, so we need to find some more money before we can do that.
