Anthony Sloan – You’ll be missed.

(photo credit: Ed Ellinger)

Today I heard of the passing of a friend of mine, Anthony Sloan. Anthony’s passing during his sleep was a shock because he was young and healthy and it came without warning.

Anthony was an avid and accomplished mountain biker. He was an equally avid photographer; although quite [...]

Ignite Boulder

Last night I attended the first Ignite event in Boulder. I went completely devoid of what it was or any other expectations, and wow! what a great surprise.

Basically people volunteer (ahead of time) to present on a topic of their choosing. The only rules seem to be that you get 5 minutes, and [...]

Boulder & Entrepreneurialism

Ben Casnocha wrote a great article on the spirit of entreprepreneurialism in Boulder. Ben pretty much hits the nail on the head as far as why I choose to live in Boulder.

BTW, I also do believe that Arrington is accurate when he says that living in Boulder may simply be a tradeoff between quality of [...]

Heroism, witnessed

Today Sharon and I were climbing on the Wind Tower in Eldorado Canyon State Park. It was a busy Sunday and many “Off Belay” calls were echoing around the canyon.

We had just finished our first pitch, and were swapping gear, when the calls of climbers all around suddenly became feverish. Sharon and I looked [...]

Trials and Tribulations

Today I woke up to a beautiful morning. The sun was shining, it was nice and cool, it was pleasantly quiet except for the chirping birds, and…wait! There’s a couple of godamned bucks on my lawn! Those bastards do nothing but poop on my lawn and eat my apple trees.

Photos will be forthcoming, but know that the weekend involved rocks, wheels, snow, sun, food, and…drumroll please…beer!

Here are some writeups about our day

From the Truth is Stranger Than Fiction Department

This new product should do well in Boulder (I hope – I’m such an environmentalist).

And here’s yet another reason why you married men should never sleep on [...]

Spring!

OK, so I may have been a little premature. But, nevermind! What is really important is that over the last two glorious days – including 80 degrees yesterday – my lawn changed from brown to green, trees’ leaves have opened up, and the first flowers are starting to [...]

Oh Happy Day!

I noticed that the trees and shrubs around my yard have little nubbins all over them…pretty soon – a week? two? – they’ll grow into tiny little leaves and block my view of that icky white crap that blankets the nearby hills…

Spring, it’s not just for dreamers any more. It’s [...]
