A nice deep breath….

What do I do when I reach the summit of the mountain? (Delivered by gondola of course, not on foot!) Well, I take a little lay down of course! And I’m tellin’ ya it felt like true luxury, lounging there with that amazing view and that spectacular diffused sun. I know it’s harder to breathe at a higher altitude, but that is one great place to just sit and take a deep breath or two.

I didn’t feel confident enough to ride down from there, but next trip I promise I will!

Will bring my crochet hook and yarn up with me next time…

When are these gizmos going to be let free so that crafty folk can really put them to stylish use?

Okay. Here it is. Thanks to Audex and Soft Switch speakers, buttons, wireless, and all else you need to have a snowboarding jacket that acts like a part of your cellphone or ipod are ready and on sale now…. I think this is so very really cool! But here is where I whine, I want these finished gadgets available Radio Shack style so that I can play with making things for them! I’m not a gizmo maker. I just want to crochet around the gizmos!

For the fiber whore in you I provide this tantalizing info from the Soft Switch site:

“SOFTswitch fabrics are ‘touch sensitive’ – when mechanically distorted or compressed they exhibit a large change in Ohmic resistance that is proportional to the force applied. This proportional response allows SOFTswitch fabrics to be used effectively both as switches and pressure sensors, responding to the lightest touch or the hardest hammer blow.”

…. fabric that feels your touch… so cool.
