I attended the Boulder.me locals night event last night. Despite crashing any group (that had predominantly closed toe shoes) as if I were “speed dating”, I didn’t get to meet many companies, but the few I did impressed me far more in person than I’d taken from their website. They routinely blamed their website for […]
The elk seems to be avoiding some weather down at the bottom of the canyon. Enjoy them, and the colors.
Neat idea, and a good example of how to be remarkable to developers. Th good ones (with the big egos will want to be “one of the precious ‘few’ who were chosen”. Probably a cheap way to build a great database of e-mail addresses/resumes, and put some coder’s bums in seats.

Last weekend I had the pleasure of being up at 12K feet above sea level at Weston Pass, near Leadville (the 2 mile high “city”). I cannot describe how amazing are the feelings from fresh fall mornings and cool evenings in Colorado’s mountains, but trust me, get out there if you can. (Perhaps another day I’ll […]
I saw one of these on highway 93 entering Boulder CO. It seemed noteworthy, both for it’s oddity and it’s impressive stance; putting the planet earth ahead of mass/height/protective steel.
Last one I saw was in London, UK on one of my infrequent trips back there. It made perfect sense there (slower speeds, less likely to […]
The hummers (scouts at least) are back. April 14th (one day before their normal April 15th arrival, but hey — so they don’t respect leap years, that’s allowed. )Make sure you don’t miss out on the pleasure of these feisty critters by cleaning your feeder, ready for the coming season.This snap was taken […]
Some snow:
Some ice:
Today was the Mule Deer Trail in Golden Gate State Park. Forget what the map/guide says about difficulty, these trail classifications are (I assume) for summer hikes, not snowshoe hikes. Today’s “moderate” (from Gap Road to Frazer Meadow) was far more strenuous than yesterday’s ”difficult”. Long stretches of feet deep snow, thigh-high drifts, long/steep rises, ups and downs. Whew, […]
Today is the first day of the start of my uncertainty…
The good folks at Adventure Central gave me these awesome snowshoes as a leaving present, and today I put them to the test on the Snowshow Hare Trail of Golden Gate State Park.
Fully dressed for the weather, backpacked up, and in steady snow with two impatient dogs, the quick-tighten […]
