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 [...]
From Mark Perry, some quantitative data explaining the reasoning capacity of the 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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

Here are some writeups about our day

I am one tired puppy today (and [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
