Cortlandt/Mt. Airy 10 mile loop

Here's a nice 10 mile loop around Cortland and then over to Mt Airy for a little hill climbing. One of the hills is really tough, but coming back on the other side is nice. Some great curvy hills. Edit: Here's another 10 miler that avoids the horrible hill and runs past Croton Reservoir instead. Turns out the name of that hill (I am not lying) is Torment Hill.

Developing for Surface


We got a surface in the office! I can't really talk about the project I'm working on, but I will say that I'm determined to get some version of the satellite tracker on it - It offers a very interesting interaction model that could be a fun way to visualize and interact with orbits. 

One problem is that the SDK is under wraps so when you run into problems there's really not much of a community to turn to. The MS Surface developer's blog offers little in the way of hard examples, offering more of a list of cool stuff they're working on and why this thing is going to be cool when the masses get a hold of them.

I'd love to offer up some more info, but am under an NDA! Here's a little peek at our developer station until I can talk more.
