So much for the Pearl Street Tulip festival tomorrow. I wonder how much dinero the ol’ city council decided to spend on that one. It really would have been great. But you can’t see the tulips anymore…
We made the best of what we had though. After dinner at a local pizza joint a 7-way snowball [...]

Free Music from new people that you’ve never heard before. And most of it is good. Thank you Amazon.
Apple has lost what once made it so attractive. It’s emerged from it’s cult-like following to become popular culture. Drowned in publicity surrounding it’s lawsuits and dominant digital music market share - it seems as if [...]

I went to see The Interpreter last night despite the review at The New York Times. That guy hardly ever gets it right anyway. I thought the movie reverently displayed the relationship between international/domestic politics (depending on your point of view) and the individuals whose lives those politics govern. And of course all the other [...]

So I read an article in Wired last night by ‘Steven Johnson’ about how the information/digital age has helped increase the level of General Intelligence - measured by IQ tests - around the world.
This morning I read on 9News.com - based in Denver - about a study based out of London that says that [...]

I ran into four inches of powder today. No, really - I ran right into it. And it got into my shoes. It made my socks wet. The snow mixed with dirt and became mud. And that got on my legs. Then I stopped, looked around, and said to myself out loud, “damn, this is [...]

Google maps has been all over the news lately. It’s way cooler - not necessarily more practical - than MapQuest. And with the feature they added two weeks ago - get ready to waste your whole day. It’s aptly labeled ‘Satellite’. Cruise to anywhere you want in the world, best zoom levels exist in the [...]

Yep - I broke my blog today. I’m working on fixing it - might take some time though. Darned upgrades!

I felt like I was amongst giants today. Lots (15ish) of people showed up for the BTR time trial run up Mt. Sanitas. On the warm up jog from Ebin G. Fine park I met a guy named Jason who was telling me about his adventures over the past decade. Eco-Challenges in New Zealand and [...]

Speed was inevitable. Not because I’m fast - but because of physics. Gravity pulled me through the trees and down the slope from my perch above the city. The trees, they moved by too quickly to glance at the trail ahead. My eyes skipped from rock to rock trying to prevent a turned ankle. Skid, [...]
