HTC Rhyme: Superior Smartphone Camera



Can a purple phone be enjoyed by a man?   


Even when it sports a light-up charm to alert you to a call when the phone is lost in your purse?  I guess it would take a special kind of man.  As for the rest of us, we lucked out not only in terms of design, but also in the way we use it:  Meet the HTC Rhyme.

Surf the Boise River!

 
 
 
Last weekend, we (husband, kids and me) were bicycling on the Boise Greenbelt and lo and behold! There were some surfers, going against the rapids -- surfing. Surfing the Boise River. Four words you'd never think would go together. I got the video to prove it!


And I'm not talking kayak surfing -- I'm talking about surf board surfing. There is TONS of water, gushing in the Boise River -- so these guys are whitewater surfing. Surfing the rapids. I still sound surprised, right? This was the raddest Boise image I've seen since I've been here. Guys in full wetsuits (hot), dropping into the rapids. I was STOKED. Watch here:

Boise is in the process of building a Recreation Park near this spot in Garden City. But they were talking kayaks. Hey kayakers: get on your feet!
