Long Live the POTS Line!

You gotta love the technological options that we have these days.  Take for instance the telephone.  Back in the day there was only the Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) Line – unless you go waaaay back in the day with telegraph and cups with string.
But now we have many options.  You can still have a [...]

How Do I Know These People?!?!?!?!

Let’s face it.  The world is addicted to Facebook.  That’s right, the days of MySpace are gone by the wayside.  MySpace has been kicked aside like the whore that it really is.  That’s right, I called MySpace a whore.  Facebook on the other hand… now there’s a website I could really get attached to.  It’s [...]

Brewery Tour: Dogfish Head

A few weeks ago (yes, in between being mauled by lions tigers and bears and avoiding punji stick traps) I got to go tour the Dogfish Head Brewery in Milton DE.  The tour was great – about half an hour through the brewery itself, and then another half hour with some free samples.  The tour [...]

Return of the Blogger

Greetings to both of my loyal followers who have been sending me regular emails asking about my where abouts and especially to my one particularly devoted fan (you know who you are) that was moments away from contacting the national guards of several states for the purposes of launching a nation wide search for me. [...]

Day 7: Just a Little Late

Yeah, it’s actually day 8 now.  I forgot to post one last night.  Oops.
After arriving in Detroit friday afternoon the bro drove me up to his crib in central Michigan.  I began a St Patty’s day mini-tour at the Old Chicago.  Gotta love a place that turns drinking into a challenge and game.  Prizes and [...]

Day 6: Denver Review and Blogging on an Airplane

Five days completed in Denver. As I write this I’m ok a flight bound for Detroit Michigan to visit my brother. Have I ever mentioned how much I love my iPhone??? Gotta love the wordpress app with the ability to save for publishing later. Too bad I just wrote like three paragraphs and lost it [...]

Day 5: One More For The Road

Today I saw a Golden Eagle that has a nest in the area near here.  Ok, I saw it through binoculars from a distance and it looked kind of like a dark dot among a bunch of twigs.  But she was there.  Nesting her eggs.  Still really cool.  How often can you say that??
Tried another [...]

Day 4: A Normal Day

So I have this goal of blogging every day of this 15 day trip of mine… but I really don’t have anything of substance to write about today.  But at least I’m writing anyways.  I guess not every day of being on travel, especially when it’s for work, can be all that interesting.  Sigh.  It [...]

Day 3: The View From My Office Is Better Than The View From Your Office

I gotta say – yesterday and today were quite productive days on the job.  Actually finally got some objects into production which is quite a feat if you had any idea how “Project Bob Evan’s” was going.  Quite happy about that.
This evening I went to Wynkoop Brewery in LoDo (that’s what the people in the [...]

Day 2: Work and Baklava

Went to work today here in Denver.  Bow.  For dinner though, met up with some folks from the office and went to the Damascus Grill.  Gooood middle eastern food.  I had the Lamb Kabob.  And brought back a piece of Baklava to the hotel for dessert.  Most excellent.
Last night for dinner I had gone to [...]
