I don't normally have a fear of technology.  I actually like to get new toys and play around with them.  However, I was reading this article about a new digital paper that talks when touched.  I really like the idea of digital paper and can't wait until it is practical.  However, I'm not sure about talking digital paper.  The article indicated that one possible use was packing.  Let me give you a couple of examples why I'm not so sure about this.  Any of you married guys there can related to the first one.  One fear that all men have is having to go to the store to purchase supplies for their partner.  Can you just imagine trying to be all discrete about it but when you pick it up it starts talking?  "Thank you for your selection of Tampax Tampons...".  Now the whole store knows what you are doing.  Same thing for other types of shopping.  Maybe you are trying to find some nice lingerie for your sweetie but when you pick it up, it starts saying things like "This model makes you feel pretty as a princess.  Just try it on and feel how soft it is."  Then everyone in the store thinks you are some kind of perverted freak that wears women's clothing.  What if your toilet paper talked?  What would it say?

Apparently there is a brand new Mountain Bike Park up near Fort Collins and Horsetooth reservoir.  Although I'm not sure it would be something I would ride, I would like to see it and maybe even take the little ones there.  The new park is the Correl Center Mountain Bike Park in Lory Sate Park.  For more information about the Correl Center check out this link or this link.  The second one shows the layout of the jump park.  If you want some of the regular trails check out this.  Pretty cool!
