The Secret About Writing

December 19, 2009

Peter Michaud on the secret about writing: If you’ve never written anything thoughtful, then you’ve never had any difficult, important, or interesting thoughts. That’s the secret: people who don’t write, are people who don’t think.

Beer and Investing

November 24, 2008

I normally don’t post jokes, but my sister sent me this and I thought it was quite appropriate for the times. If you had purchased $1,000 of AIG stock one year ago…you would have $42 left. Lehman Bros… $6.60 left… Fannie or Freddie… You would have less then $5 left. BUT, If you had purchased [...]

Welcome to Boulder

August 28, 2008

The other evening I went bouldering on Flagstaff Mountain above Boulder. The after work climbing scene was quite crowded as I expected, but on the way home I witnesses the strangest thing. I was actually being tailgated by a cyclist riding down the road. Mind you, I was still driving at or slightly above the posted speed [...]

Moving to Colorado

February 28, 2008

I recently wrote about closing my business and the failure of our product, FeedCraft. It may have sounded somewhat abrupt, but these were decisions that have been in the works for many months. The process of our moving started after deciding to close the business itself and reflecting on what our next steps were. After [...]

This time I had a legitimate excuse

November 13, 2006

Apparently, an inmate shot a police officer while at the hospital and then escaped on foot. The last I heard was that the police had the student center surrounded and there was a possible hostage situation. CNN [...]

Strange WordPress error

Unfortunately its been a while since I posted to my personal blog and somehow an error crept in to break my feeds. I think I’ve corrected the issue, but if any of my remaining readers still see errors, please let me know!

Self heating coffee in a can

May 11, 2005

The first line of this New York Times article sums it up best: “…some innovations are like Post-it notes: you didn’t know you needed them until they were invented.” As a coffee addict, I always have an eye out for articles on coffee, specifically caffeine. I think I’m looking for pro-caffeine articles to use as [...]

February 7, 2005

As this was one of those miserable days when everything is going wrong, this post on the eleven acceptable times in history to use the “F” word from had me cracking up and brightened my day. Thanks for sharing the insight and humor, Brad!

McDonald’s expects to roll out premium coffee

January 11, 2005

As a coffee addict, I would say that McDonald’s rolling out premium coffee is a boon to java drinkers everywhere. Not that I expect it to be all that good, but the ability to grab a decent cup of coffee on almost every corner (and every exit of the interstate) is welcome.
