There is a bill in Colorado that will charge a $5 toll at the Eisenhower Tunnel on I-70. This tunnel runs right through the Continental Divide and is Denver’s link to various ski towns (Vail, Aspen, Breckenridge, etc.). There is a bunch of opposition about it, but I feel that something needs to be done […]

The Denver Egotist wrote about Flying Dog’s packaging redesign, something I worked on. I got a nice little name drop. Just something to boost my ego a little bit. Well, it’s nice to get some recognition.

That’s something I never thought I’d write. But Denver native Sinbad has conflicting reports about his trip to Bosnia with Hillary Clinton in 1996. Yes, ladies and gentleman, Sinbad. A B or C-list celeb has the authority to smash a campaign into pieces.

One of the five teams in the tournament, University of Minnesota gets to essentially play home games during this tournament. Every year. Minnesota beat Colorado College last night in overtime. It’s pretty much a crock of shit to get to play […]

I wrote a blog entry over at beerdinners.com about Savor, a craft beer and food “experience”. It’s a pretty cool even, happening in Washington D.C. in May. I’m attending with a few other members of our brewery and will be taking photos, shooting HD video, twittering and all of that. Liveblogging, if you will. It […]

Guinness launched a funny ad campaign recently about trying to make St. Patrick’s Day an “official” US Holiday. They also have put up website about it at proposition317.com. The aim of the site was to get 1 million digital signatures from people supporting their proposition by midnight last night. Guinness only ended up with about […]

Steven Levitt is maybe someone you’ve read. I haven’t and I’m going to start. He writes blog entries for the New York Times and is also famous for his book called Freakonomics. An economist by trade, Levitt is more like a cultural economist.

Undoubtedly, you know about how the Governor of New York fucked a prostitute like 10 times and it cost him his job. The woman who whored herself out to the Guvn’r, it turns out, has a MySpace profile! OK, it’s not really that surprising. I just looked again, and it was taken down so I […]

First let me tell you that I spelled Hippopotamus correctly on the first try. And I think that’s nice.
So there’s this web browser that everyone in the world uses called Firefox. And it’s a pretty good browser, there are lots of cool plug-ins, like the Greasemonkey script that adds “in bed” to the end […]
