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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

In case you are wondering, I used a combination of these recipes. I did not follow either exactly. I get […]

The Sad State of Mobile Phones

The current crop of phones are depressingly lame. I am currently using a Samsung t519. It has served me well for pretty close to two years now. My two biggest complaints with it are that phone allowed T-Mobile to permanently hijacked the right soft button, and that is, perhaps, a tiny bit too thick. […]

Craftsmanship

My dad is a carpenter. He has always taken a great deal of pride in his craft. By the time, I was old enough to work with him he was doing mostly finish work. I occasionally got to work with him when I was younger. But, there were always lots of things I was […]
