Any news?

Hmm…what to talk about. Or blog about, as the case may be. Can’t think of anything. Is there any news happening I should be aware of?
I’m kidding, of course. I’m actually in Tampa this week with the city of Aurora for the All America City Award competition, singlehandedly providing the music for the city’s delegation. […]

Colorado State Republican Convention

The state convention was last week. Several Rocky Mountain Alliance (2.0) bloggers were there and live-blogged the event. Night Twister has a good round up, too. Check out both.
Also, over at Schaffer v Udall Ben has the full video of Bob Schaffer accepting GOP Nomination for U.S. Senate.

On the ballot

Rocky Mountain Alliance blogger Joshua Sharf has submitted his required signatures to get onto the August 12 primary ballot. His team of 25 volunteers did a great job of rounding up more than enough signatures (958) to get onto the ballot.

Lighten up

Tell me you can watch this and not laugh out loud. I mean, come on - it’s a flying penis!

Letters to the Troops

Jim at Thinking Right collecting letters for the men and women serving aboard the USS Russell. So far he’s received a little over 50 letters. Remember, we’re looking for about 250, so we’ve got a long way to go yet.
Once again, any help you all can give would be greatly appreciated. Please pass the word […]

All right, all right

Nothing like your friends complaining to make you post something, huh?
Happy Pascha, Christo Anesti! We’ve just celebrated our first Lent/Holy Week/Pascha in the Orthodox church. Too wonderful for words, and many other Orthodox bloggers have written about it better than I would. So, how about a general update?
The symphony has a concert tomorrow night. You […]

Busy week

My work dumped about 140 people from its corporate office in the last week, so the day job has been a little more exciting than normal.
Pascha is next week, so this week is (supposed to be) all about the preparation.
I’m playing the spring musical with one of the local high schools, so all the non-day-job […]

As if on cue

Just the other day I wrote about writing code, now Lifehacker tells you where to start.

Kindle cool

Tell me this isn’t cool. Read more!

At 400 bucks I’m not going to run out and get one, but like most new technology you have to wonder where this piece will lead. What’s next?
UPDATE: I want this!

In response

to comments that the new look was too dark, I’ve updated it slightly to make it more readable. The dark blue for certain text is gone, replaced with a lighter blue. The post titles are yellow instead of red or purple (what’s up with the red? why red?). Now they match the yellow in the […]

New!

I’d like to say improved, too, but you know how that goes. What do you think of the new digs?

Mr. Bob is home!

Drop by and welcome him back.

By default, if you work with me, are related to me, or even know me you’re automatically a geek (you’re welcome). Some of you might qualify for dork, but that usually requires spending a lot of time with me in person. As all good geek/dorks know, you need to be prepared for Thanksgiving. Somebody is bound to […]
