Yay! Atheist billboards in Colorado

I have been out of town for a few days and i completely missed that COCORE has put up eleven of these billboards on the Colorado front range.1 Or, rather, they wanted to put those billboards on the front range. It seems the have had to settle for just Denver and Colorado Springs because Next Media […]

Why I am voting for Obama

I watched the third presidential debate last night. Overall, I would say that not much new ground was covered. However, there was one moment that I thought was quite telling. At one point John McCain suggested that school vouchers are the solution to all our education woes. Barack Obama replied, “I disagree with him on […]

BarCamp Boulder 3

BarCamp Boulder is on. It will be held October 17th and 18th (2008) at the TechStars bunker in downtown Boulder. The last one was great and I expect this one will be even better. Reasons you should come: you like meeting smart and interesting people you are passionate about something that the rest of us should know about you […]

Elliot is 5

Happy Birthday Elliot! Elliot is five today. He is getting to be a very big boy now. Last Saturday I took him to Elitch Gardens. We spent a great six hours playing. You cannot go wrong with a day of sugar, video games and rides. He is big enough to ride quite a few rides there. […]

Fresh Coffee for Me

On my walk back to the office from lunch today I noticed the there was a small Novo Coffee sign in the window of the warehouse across the street. The name was familiar but I couldn’t quite place it at the time1. Given that the coffee I had at work was getting a bit stale […]

Audrey is 3

Happy third birthday Audrey! We had a great day today. First, we got up late – well, I did anyway, and Elliot and Audrey played together nicely while I caught a few extra Zs – and opened presents. The red headed Cabbage Patch doll is the favorite as of this evening, but the Lego were […]

Rocky Mountain Blogger Bash 5000

The Rocky Mountain Blogger Bash is tonight and I will be there. Cat and I are even on the official RSVP list (which means we get free drinks). This is my only concession to the convention but any gathering of “beer-swigin’” bloggers has to be fun. If you are going too let me know and […]

New Music for the New Job

I started my new gig, at brightkite, today. I am super stoked to be working with the excellent crew there. I realized that I need some new music, though. I have quite a lot of music that I associate strongly with particular events, workplaces, teams and even books1. My tastes range from pop with a decent […]

Letting Her Die

At the pool the other day Audrey slipped off a ledge she was standing on and fell into the deep water. Her head went under water for maybe ten seconds before I was able to get to her. No sooner does she catch her breath than she says “You were going to let me dead1”, […]

Homemade Yogurt

Over the week-end I made some yogurt and boy am I glad I did. It was easily the best yogurt I have ever had. It was particularly good with peaches. That was tonight’s dessert, doesn’t it look yummy? In case you are wondering, I used a combination of these recipes. I did not follow either exactly. I get […]
