A long time ago (in Internet years) I discovered a service that made my financial life much more structured – and thus, better. Based on no real reviews or recommendations I signed up for an account on Mint.com and started entering in all my banking account details. I watched in amazement as it hoovered in my [...]
From TheDenverChannel.com: The incident happened just after 8 p.m. Tuesday at the Power Wash at 3730 Randall Drive, police said. A man was sitting in his car, which he had just finished washing. Another man walked up, pulled a knife on the victim and demanded his money, police said. “The victim reached for what the suspect [...]
…and with that tidbit of obviousness, a small dose of perspective from a wonderful friend. I’m lifting her post in it’s entirety – I hope you don’t mind, Kate. I know I have devoted a lot of time to discussing the trials and struggles I have faced teaching in a low-income school. While so many [...]
A quiet, foggy morning dog walk yesterday up at the Boulder Reservoir as the chill of Saturday night wore off, leading into a record 93 degree day. More pictures in my Picasa web albums…

Well, part of the time spent mucking around with the redesign (which I like a whole ton, ackshually) was done while sitting on the couch watching my son [...]
I’ll have to wait for the paperwork to come through in a bit, but I nailed my VCP410 exam this morning. Ah, the load off my chest at the moment… – mike

Something simple like plugging a video camera can become hell on earth if you are not a geek and enjoy endlessly browsing forums to try to figure how [...]
Last weekend I got sucked into one of the most interesting and cool features of Picasa, Google’s Mac and PC application for organizing photos: facial recognition. Last year, my father began scanning all of the thousands of family photos that he has stored using a slide/negative scanner and a flatbed scanner for prints. I ended [...]
