I just ran across a brilliant article titled “Nightclubs are hell. What’s cool or fun about a thumping, sweaty dungeon full of posing idiots?” in the Guardian Unlimited. There are many statements in there that hold true for me, but I think this is my favorite:
I used to feel intimidated by people like this; […]
I think I just came across one of the most important inventions since the beginning of mankind. What is it? Something which I should order immediately; Bacon Salt!
About all that I can do here is provide a link, perhaps an excerpt, and say “wow”.
How do I dare say this to you moronic war supporters who are “Supporting our Troops” and waving the flag and all that happy horse shit? I’ll tell you why. I’m a Marine and I served my tour in […]
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 […]
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 […]

I remember having an ice storm in Colorado sometime around 1984 (I was 5 or 6) which was not […]
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, unwieldy, […]
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 […]
My dad sent me some photos of the aftermath of the snow in Walsh, the town where I grew-up. Crazyness.
It was time to start separating my “professional” content from the personal stuff and give me a better place for /etc, so here’s the new blog. It’s got all of the buzzwords too, like flickr, AJAX, and even del.icio.us. I doubt I’ll get around to designing my own theme or […]
