Many of the 'rados will be heading to Boulder this weekend to run the famous "Bolder Boulder" 10k.
 

Working Remotely

[THE Lowly Peon] [20 March 2012]
For the last week or so, I've gotten a taste of what it means to work remotely. Nothing I've learned is anything profound, but it's been a great time for me to try something out I've always been curious about.
 

Toothbrush Machine

[THE Lowly Peon] [16 March 2012]
A few months ago, Daisy & I took the plunge and decided to get an electric toothbrush. I did a bunch of research, and we decided to go with a Philips Sonicare Fancy-pants model.
 

Living Like Don Draper

[THE Lowly Peon] [15 March 2012]

One of These Days

[THE Lowly Peon] [03 February 2012]
