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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

It’s A Small World

15Apr07

I’m headed back from a long weekend in Las Vegas, currently utilizing free Wifi at the McCarran Airport. Somehow I ended-up sitting directly across from someone I went to College with who I seem to always bump into in the strangest places, and someone across from me also asked if I was a [...]

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, [...]

Long Time, No Update

26Feb07

Seems 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 [...]

06Jan07

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 [...]

Update On Rescue Efforts In Southeast Colorado

04Jan07

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 [...]

BarDiver: Your Guide to Colorado Bars

18Nov06

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 [...]

We On Award Tour

07Oct06

I finally got to cross a classic hip-hop group off of my list that I didn’t think I’d get the chance to see last night– A Tribe Called Quest performed at the Fillmore Auditorium. We also ended-up with VIP seating and drink tickets, so we had a great view of the show away from [...]
