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 [...]
I just got off of the phone with my dad, and it sounds like the recent snow storm that mostly hit Southeastern Colorado is being very under reported, at least in the Denver area. He said they received 45″ of very heavy snow there, where drifts are regularly at 6′ and in places reach up [...]
Welding Classes in Denver
29Dec06While I took a couple of years of woodworking in High School, I greatly regret not being able to fit a Welding class into my schedule given my interest in cars. I have actually had to have someone do some welding for me on a past project car, and see myself needing to weld-up some [...]
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 doing much more than is [...]
Oh nos! Save us! We’re feeding our kids DEVIL FOODS THAT MAKES THEM TEH GAYS! On a related note, Henry Rollins rants about the current religious movements in the US, and although his round-about presentation could have been better, he drops enough f-bombs to make me happy.
Apparently an old blog entry of mine is pretty much a forum at this point. It just hit comment number 50. If you’re looking for a place to find old Costco Harmonics colors, or looking to sell leftovers from your Harmonics project, I guess that’s where you should go or something.
BarDiver, a Django powered site which is essentially a social site for Denver, Colorado area bars has been launched. A friend and I discussed doing a project like this after having a frustrating time trying to find happy hour specials before heading to a concert, and this site looks to be a pretty well executed [...]
An old friend of mine I’ve mentioned a few times on my blog is pitching against the Rockies tonight here in Denver at 7:05, and I’ll be going. Sweet! He’s been back and forth between the Padres and Beavers all year, and is luckily making another appearance in Denver. I’m excited to finally get to [...]
