In January last year a friend and I went up to Lake Tahoe for a week to relax after the craziness of the holidays, while we were there we were looking into fun things to do besides skiing and snowboarding. We found a couple places that offered dog sledding. However the weather did not work with us, a huge storm blew in and the dogs got snowed in. We both intend to go back sometime and do it... how often do you get that chance to do something like this. Unfortunately it will have to wait till at least this winter as I managed to break my leg and the only adventures I can do for the time being are down the block and back.

It will be a great way to get re-inspired and motivated again after graduating from art school a couple years ago some of the spark is gone. It will also be great to be able to network with other professionals in my feild that I normally wouldn't get to meet.

Seems like it could be fun.

With my degree in Graphic Design it has more or less become a requirement that you have a personal web-site to showcase your portfolio. Without one it is incredibly difficult to find a job in the industry. This year I really need to step up on my career goals as my current job will end in either June or December.
