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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Last year when I was in Nicaragua, there was a murder in a town I was about to visit called San Juan Del Sur. An American was convicted of the crime, although at his trial no real evidence was ever presented (see my earlier blog entry about this here). Yesterday a court in Nicaragua overturned [...]

Looking through Old Testament names, I came across this one. I apologize to my child in advance.

I’m going to Hamsterdam soon for a festival. And I got to thinking about my ideal band to see at a festival. It would be an a capella group. Called Flockapella. Yes, Flockapella. A Flock of Seagulls a capella group. FoS. Hairdos and everything. I know what you’re saying. There’s that FoS a capella group [...]

A woman in Sacramento died from Water Intoxication from taking part in a radio station promotion called “Hold Your Wee for a Wii”. Sort of makes Hands on a Hard Body into an instant cult classic horror flick. Even more disturbing information in the Trivia page of the IMDB link. In reality, I’m a big [...]

Not sure if you know this, but Nicaraguan elections recently re-installed Daniel Ortega as their leader (remember the whole Sandanista/Iran Contra Affair fiasco?). Read more about the current state of politics in Nicaragua here. I’m on vacation in Nicaragua now, and this is a link to keep you busy in the event that I don’t [...]

A site I just checked out last week is WorldChanging.com. I especially like their section on “Planet.” Tell your friends about it.
