Seattle Day One: I’m Not Dead Yet

29Jul06

I managed to make it to Seattle and luckily wasn’t gunned down, though our hotel is about 4-5 blocks from where the “hate-crime” shooting went down. I think we were just getting settled into the suite when we started hearing all kinds of sirens, followed by hovering helicopters.
Once Lindsey and I got in, we […]

Snakes On A Plane

28Jul06

A couple of days ago, I realized that I’ll be putting Snakes On A Plane on tomorrow– I’m flying on Friday to Seattle to spend about a week there for some exploring and relaxation in the Pacific Northwest. Of course my laptop is going with me, which has Python installed,. I’ll be taking […]

Cherry Creek Bike Trail Completed

23Jul06

Well, I’ve finally completed a long trail from end-to-end. This is the third time I’ve done the Cherry Creek Bike Trail– the first time I had to turn back because of inclement weather, the second time I didn’t quite make it to the swim beach because it was already dark and I had to […]

Dog Bites Man Filmed in Denver

13Jul06

I knew something about the show seemed oddly famillar, but I finally put the pieces together […]

Animal Planet Dog Breed Selector

10Jul06

A friend pointed me to the Animal Planet Dog Breed Selector and of course I had to check it out to see what my ideal match is according to them. Given how much Audrey has been whining this weekend since it’s been too rainy to get her much exercise, I wondered if there were […]

Biking For Non-Bikers

04Jul06

As I mentioned in my last post, I’ve been getting back into biking lately, and I’m having a blast. My initial ride about 3 weeks ago was around 8 miles, and today I completed a 19 mile ride. I think I could have squeezed out a few more miles if the weather hadn’t been […]

A New Ride: 2006 Trek 7.5 FX Disc

03Jul06

For a more in-depth review of this bike with more photos, check out my extended review of the 2006 Trek 7.5 FX Disc on Reviewfoo.
Lately I’ve been getting back into biking for many reasons, including the health benefits (I can certainly use the exercise), fun, and of course it’s not a bad idea given the […]
