Overall, I'm still pleased with the Evo WPs ... having these is way better than giving up VFFs for the winter. They're totally waterproof in my experience, and have a great grip that is better than most conventional footwear I've worn. Downsides are the relative lack of flexibility compared to other VFFs, and toe pockets that are a little cramped and rigid. I wish they had a little more insulation, too, so I could wear them in cool weather without socks. But overall, I think they're definitely worth a try!

Installed the Lion upgrade on my iMac this morning, though not without difficulty ... the download crashed the App Store application! My initial thoughts are mixed. Safari seems much improved, and the left/right swipe action there is brilliant. I'm already used to the "reversed" scrolling, but I re-enabled the always-visible scroll bar ... it makes no sense at all to have that disappear on a desktop device. Launchpad is useless for anyone with more than a handful of apps, and since I don't use Spaces I don't really like the new look of Mission Control. Mail seems more solid, though I went back to the classic UI there. There's a lot of serious ugliness in the UI, especially for a design-conscious company like Apple. The Finder and Mail went way too far towards the monochrome look ... the font choices, spacing, and graphic layout all suck. On the other hand, Apple went too far in the other direction in the Address Book and iCal, sacrificing usability and
This is what gave me an urge to visit Kerguelen Island ... it's the only land antipode to any part of Montana. Originally shared by Guy Kawasaki Ever wonder where you'd be if you tunneled straight through the earth? Now you can find out: www.freemaptools.com/tunnel-to-other-side-of-the-earth.htm I'd be right off Madagascar. Where would you be?
My V5F's and I don't do snow. We rather hang out with a cup of hot chocolate and count the flakes. =0)
ReplyDeleteThese are the Evo WPs, and they're forcing me to head outside in blizzards. :)
ReplyDeleteMark Hufstetler Instead of the devil, it's your VFFs that made you do it? Haha. I may have to take a trip to the Boston store and try them on.
