Browser Logs Almost a BLOG, but not quite. We're too lazy to write a full-fledged journal, but we are happy to occassionally share news and a few links with you. Browser Log, February 2004 Its February, which means skiing here in Switzerland. The ski god has been unusually moody though. First he delivered a one-two punch of snow and wind, and now he's suddenly gone soft and left us with tropical sun and blue skies. Whatever. As long as the snow doesn't melt before the precious spring skiing starts. Someday we'll set up a ski website and share all of the great links we've collected to monitor the latest snow conditions in the Alps, but, for now, here are a few links to get through the season. Powder can always be found here and a region-by-region report here, but the aptly-named Snow Institute in Davos gives an even better picture of new snowfall (yes, we are speaking about powder potential) in the last three days or 24 hours. For weather, Meteoschweiz provides a highly professional mountain forecast, but nothing beats checking out the live webcams the morning before you leave home. On freeriding days, the avalanche report on swiss-snow is recommended. There is even a sobering bodycount for the season. Oddly enough, the best ski website is not to be found in Switzerland. In our humble opinion, its located in Japan.   Browser Log, January 2004 Januaries were made for cozy nights around the fireplace and mugs of steamy hot chocolate. When endless dark clouds and sub-zero temperatures put a damper on dreams of riding the powdered alps, what else is there to do but huddle up and surf the web? Apparently, other people have been doing the same thing. Only they appear to have been doing it creatively. Pasquale from NYC has gone to film school and already published his first cinematic works. And Malaika at Yale's architecture training grounds proudly mentioned that she too is officially publishing on the web. We're not sure what it all has to do with classical architecture, but her creative applet is even interactive: click and drag to move the animation. Who would have known that there are whole websites filled with the creative output of design students, archis, and engineers. Processing, from MIT, is a website dedicated to "exploring the emerging conceptual space enabled by electronic media". Whatever that means. Check out the animations. They are cool. We had our own spurt of creativity, but it melted away when we found out that someone else had beaten us to the punch: Zürich's first (and only) english-language magazine put out its first issue the other week. Dang. There goes our brilliant business idea. All I can say is that we wouldn't have named it Cream.
