I’ve been wanting to do a quick video of what tricks I can still do, but shoot and edit it entirely on my iPhone. The first problem was finding a good iPhone tripod mount: there are a lot out there, but most require you to either take your iPhone out of its case or to …
This past weekend was the Worcester Cup Bonspiel, a curling tournament at The Country Club in Brookline, MA. The South Shore Curling Club sent three teams (I was on South Shore II) and all three made it to the finals on Sunday, with our team playing for the Worcester Cup! We were pretty proud that our …
