Ski boots

by | Dec 27, 2005 | evilzenscientist, Uncategorized, Utah

Sigh – I’ve been looking for ski boots again – and nothing fits.

I’ve tried rentals before – and I’ve always had a really painful few hours with cold, cramped, uncomfortable toes. I’ve tried buying – and nothing seems to work for me.

If anyone knows of any good Utah based ski boot shops that will fit to strange, large feet and calves – let me know!

Looking at the Google Zeitgeist for 2005 and there is one really interesting piece:

Whose News
When news is reported instantaneously, and more people than ever expect to get their news online, which sources do people consult – and for which stories? We took a look at three major news organizations which have come to new prominence for a global Internet audience.

Buying ITIL books in London

As I was in central London I made a special visit to The Stationery Office Bookshop near Holborn.

TSO is a strange beast; formerly HMSO (Her Majestys Stationery Office), now the Office of Public Sector Information – it is the official publishing arm for the UK Government. Everything from Government papers, reports of debates in Parliament to ITIL, Prince and other documents are published.

The TSO bookshop is a veritable hideout of really specialist, non-overlapping information.

I was buying books on ITIL – the IT Infrastructure Library – for my team. Useful and required reading in todays IT world.
