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 on the [...]

My dad sent me some photos of the aftermath of the snow in Walsh, the town where I grew-up. Crazyness.

The Real 2006 Blizzard Aftermath in Southeast Colorado

02Jan07

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 [...]

Interwebs Upgraded! I’m Finally All Web 2.AJAX

23Dec06

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 [...]

My Datsun Z: Autoblog Readers Ride of The Day!

20Dec06

Today is pretty much the wrong weather for my Datsun 280Z here in Colorado, but it made Autoblog’s Readers Ride of the Day! Judging by the comments, there are plenty of people who also still love the old Z’s too. I haven’t much touched the car since I bought it other than typical old car [...]

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 well executed [...]

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 most [...]

Mike Thompson To Start Against Rockies

25Aug06

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 [...]

I’m proud to announce that I’m now part of the ColdFusion Developer’s Journal Editorial Board. We have quite an impressive list of experienced developers and evangelists in the community, and I’m honored to be part of the great group helping steer the magazine along with Jeremy and Simon. I’ve always enjoyed writing and critiquing technical [...]

Snacks On A Plane?!!?

11Aug06

After many obsessive discussions with my co-workers earlier this year about Snakes On A Plane, I decided to purchase the snacksonaplane.net domain in April. Recent events finally gave me a good reason to use it to create a Snacks On A Plane?!!? poster. Note: the f-bomb is used.
