Walsh Featured on NPR Twice Recently

05Nov08

My tiny hometown of Walsh has been featured TWICE in recent months on NPR. If you go look-up Walsh, CO on Google Maps, you’ll see how small and isolated it is. That said, it’s a big deal when anything like being on NPR happens. I think the last time it was in any sort of [...]

Review of Blue Sage Realty in Westminster, CO — It Sucks!

03Jul08

My buddy Rod recently had a really bizarre and unprofessional experience with Kathryn MacGeraghty and her team at Blue Sage Realty. It sounds like a good place to avoid at all costs. You can read more about his experience here. Blue Sage Realty in Westminster Sucks! I also posted a review of Blue Sage Realty, [...]

The Housing Bubble Crisis Becomes a World Economy Crisis

12Aug07

I really wish I’d taken my own advice a couple of years ago and tried to sell my place to instead rent for awhile. The bubble has burst, and it’s not pretty. Stocks take a turn for the worse as investors scoff at the Fed’s decision to step in yet again, this time adding $3 [...]

An Unexpected Wii

07May07

I’ve been interested in owning a Nintendo Wii for quite awhile, especially now that we have one at work and I get a chance every so often to play it. Since the weather was crappy this weekend, about the only thing Lindsey and I did on Saturday was do a little shopping, grabbed some dinner, [...]

A Soldier Speaks Out On Craigslist

23Apr07

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 [...]

Shaving Like Grandpa

29Mar07

I’ve been fed-up with the prices of razors and how awful my face feels after a shave for quite awhile now. I first tried to ween myself off of them a few years ago by switching to an electric razor. I’ve tried several brands of electric razors over the years including Braun, Panasonic, Norelco, Remington, [...]

Congrats To SpaceX!

20Mar07

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. [...]

We Are Watching You

22Jan07

My 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!

22Jan07

I 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.

Denver Wins National Democratic Convention!

11Jan07

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 [...]
