What Have I Been Up To

Now not everyone is going to care what I have been up to but some people might notice a slip in postings here on this blog. Don’t be alarmed! I am still around I have been working on some other things. For those who might be curious as to what I have been doing over the past little bit I’ll share it with you.

WestCoastAlpine

Over at WestCoast Alpine I did do a couple posts on the LG FIS WorldCup 2009 events which included the Snowboarder Cross and the Half-Pipe event. The PGS (Parallel Giant Slalom) was canceled due to poor snow conditions. Many athletes were disappointed about that but you can’t ski on the type of snow they had over for the last event. It was pretty cool to see Shaun White and his insane half-pipe skills.

Robyn and I have really been enjoying writing for WestCoast Alpine. We just have to find more time to do it and work on more regular posts to keep the content moving along.

We are both looking forward to the upcoming Telus World Ski and Snowboard Festival up in April at Whistler/Blackcomb.

Tyler Ingram Photos

Crazy Crow Bokah

My photo blog has a few new posts including some more recent photos taken with my new Canon EF 70-200mm f2.8L IS USM lens. The lens is amazing! Though it also costs an arm and a leg.

I thought about doing a photo post a day, I do have enough photos to do it but sometimes the photos are just not interesting enough (to me) to post at times. I thought about taking at least 1 photo each day and posting it but sometimes I don’t get the opportunity to get the camera out and shoot something. So for now I’ll just continue posting whenever I think a photo I have taken has some interesting element to it. Who knows, perhaps I’ll start talking more about camera gear or the industry.

The Blog

Now in previous months I used to report on the stats from the month prior. I have decided to stop doing this as I don’t really see any benefit in reporting my blog’s statistics. I can tell you that traffic is still increasing 10-12% each month, which I like to see. Though it just seems like I repeat myself over and over again when I do blog recaps.

I have also had some suggestions on some blog topics or series I can start writing here on Tyler Ingram dot com. Raul suggested I write some CSS editing posts which can help WordPress users modify/tweak their self-hosted themes with a bit more ease. I would probably get into explaining the basics of the CSS stylesheet that a typical WordPress blog might use.

Coming up with ideas that people haven’t done yet though seems to be the catch. There are a lot of blogs (sites) that will explain how to modify the various aspects of WordPress. Perhaps I can figure out a twist to make it more interesting to people out there though.

On a Side Note

Our Dominican Republic Vacation in Punta Cana 2008

Robyn and I have been looking at taking a vacation. We both think it’s time for an escape. We were thinking of a 10 day trip to Costa Rica on the Caribbean coast (no, not all inclusive). Black sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, tropical rain forest with Sloths and Howler Monkies. Though it looks like we decided to do a road trip in June through the Rockies and then leave a Tropical vacation for my 30th Birthday in December. I decided that I don’t want to be in North America for my 30th Birthday. Since my birthday is at the end of the year we would probably do New Year’s at the location we decided as well.
