SpaceX launched their second rocket today and made it to space! A lot of us around the office were watching yesterday but the launch was canceled, and I simply forgot to look again this afternoon as I was busy at work. We have a vested interest as SpaceX’s founder is the brother of our CEO. [...]

Congrats To SpaceX!
20Mar07Long Time, No Update
26Feb07Seems like the last month has flown by. Let’s do a quick update here… I haven’t talked to my dad specifically about the whole snow situation recently, but I have heard that the counties in SE Colorado were rejected Federal Aid by FEMA. Luckily the area has finally been getting in the press from time [...]
Another Speech, Another Lie
24Jan07Wow, we totally thwarted the terra again according to the State of the Union speech given last night: “We stopped an al Qaeda plot to fly a hijacked airplane into the tallest building on the West Coast.” I’m so proud. Lets bring out the shirts that look like flags and celebrate! Oh wait, that “threat” [...]
We Are Watching You
22Jan07My last post reminded me of an interesting factoid that I keep forgetting to mention. According to my server logs, two of the biggest fans of my Snacks On A Plane spoof are the US Department of Justice, and The Pentagon.
Andy Griffith Is A Terrorist!
22Jan07I can’t believe a stand-up guy like Andy Griffith would be associated with terrorism, but after watching this short clip, I’m convinced we should send him to Abu Ghraib and beat the hell out of him.
Not that I really needed to post about this since it will be all over the news, but Denver will be hosting the 2008 Democratic National Convention! Denver’s selection brings the high-profile political gathering to the Pepsi Center in August 2008 — exactly 100 years after the city hosted its first and only national party [...]
The same recent storm which pulverized the area I grew-up in had a completely different effect in Kansas and Nebraska. In these photos, you can see how damaging an ice storm can be. I remember having an ice storm in Colorado sometime around 1984 (I was 5 or 6) which was not early this bad, [...]
I just came across one of the most interesting and hilarious science experiments I’ve seen in awhile: We sent a variety of unpackaged items to U.S. destinations, appropriately stamped for weight and size, as well as a few items packaged as noted. We sent items that loosely fit into the following general categories: valuable, sentimental, [...]
I was a bit surprised– earlier this evening I was watching TV and the blizzard which trashed Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Southeast Colorado was actually the lead-off story. Sadly the national news has better coverage of the storm than anything locally I’ve seen so far. There have been a few short blurbs here on the [...]
My dad sent me some photos of the aftermath of the snow in Walsh, the town where I grew-up. Crazyness.
