So The Police and Elvis Costello are playing Red Rocks in July. And they just added a second show. And I got tickets to see them in Row 7! It’s a total ripoff in terms of ticket prices, but I can’t pass it up. The Police are pretty much the most influential band of my [...]

I’m off to Washington state to “compete” in the Jimmie Heuga Foundation Vertical Express for MS. My team raised almost $2000 for this event and our sister team raised about the same amount. So I’ll be periodically updating my twitter site (to be seen on the sidebar of my blog or at my Twitter site [...]

I should have posted my thoughts on this subject a while back, because I’ve been thinking about it for a while. When deciding on a Democratic nominee before the Colorado Caucuses, I decided that it’s important to endorse a candidate that has the best chance of becoming President. I feel that Obama understands the younger [...]

One of the really unique things about Facebook is that you can install third party applications. Which allows people to play scrabble from Facebook, check the snow report at your favorite resort, etc. These can be really cool, like Scrabulous (which is in danger of being shut down for copyright infringement). Lots of times, however, [...]

There comes a time in every person’s life when they’re in dire need of a graphic designer. Sometimes I feel that, with the proper training, people could all be decent designers. Instead of some four-year institution where you’re really just taking a couple classes about design over a two-year period (at least, that’s how long [...]

I’ve added the riffly.com plugin to my blog and you are now allowed to post audio and video comments to my blog. It’s a very cool and easy plugin to set up. Here’s the setting I needed to use on my MacBook Pro to allow the webcam to work: when you’re giving permission to riffly.com [...]

I have a friend who started a blog about how she’s looking for a new job. I also love trying to come up with opposite domain names for existing websites (like notsohotmail.com, which was already taken). And I love finding really horrible job opportunities and making fun of them. Enter our new blog: The Not-So-Great [...]

One of my favorite bloggers and comedians is Todd Levin of tremble.com fame. I’ve sort of been out of touch with his blog recently, as I’ve been caught up in the world of beer bloggers (I read about 70 beer blogs these days). But Todd recently wrote a few pieces for The Morning News about [...]

1. Coke Ad – Coke runs “artistic” ads every year, well except for that whole “I’d like to teach the world to sing” thing like 30 years ago. Actually, that link is pretty damn awesome. Turns out it’s 35 years, and has the honor of being “the first historical ad ever to be restored in [...]

1. Tom Petty moving super v guitar thing on field is very phallic. But he’s a bad ass. Who gets to run on the field during the halftime show, anyone who has a ticket? It looked to be sort of crappy to have to run your ass off to get to the front. I wonder [...]
