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 […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]

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

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
