Wow, now I’ve seen it all. I think I’m busy on the 16th.

Winter Wonderland
For those who don’t live in Colorado, you may not be aware that we got a nice snow storm to help ring in the Christmas cheer. Hopefully everyone is staying warm and dry right now! With the snow looming, Bethany and I managed to put up our Christmas tree and lights the day before the snow arrived. It made for some very nice pictures!
Test from Droid
Trying a test post from my Droid using the WPtoGo App. It looks like it’s working pretty well. I tried this app a week ago, but it was working horrifically slow. It looks like the latest update has fixed that, and the app is working great.
Watch out as you may now see some posts from my Droid!
I did it!
After 31 days of blogging I took a break yesterday, but I wanted to commemorate my small achievement in completing NaBloWriMo. As I posted a month ago, I was going to attempt to blog at least once per day for the next month, and 37 posts later I made it!
I’m not going to lie: at the start of the month, it was a real chore to start blogging. There were nights when I sitting in bed next to my sleeping wife as I was typing away, anxious to hit “Post” before 12am. It was about the end of week 2 I finally caught my second wind and it became easier to block out time to blog.
Not all of my posts were must-reads, but some of my favorite ones over the month included:
- A rant against those who sell their tickets to opposing fans
- Comparing how sports screw up their playoff scheduling
- A random-thought post heading into the weekend
- .and more thoughts on baseball scheduling screw-ups
- Sharing stories and images from Austin
- A reaction to the “3 unrelated” law being revisited in Fort Collins
- A statistical listing of my favorite artists
I’ve really appreciated the experience, and hope that this will continue to ignite that blogging spark that I found when I started this blog back in May of 2005. Thank you for all of your support be reading my blog, and I hope that this was as fun for you as it was for me.
Snow day!
For those of you outside Colorado, you may have heard that we are getting quite the snow storm. Late yesterday afternoon it started raining, which quickly turned to snow as the night progressed. Both Bethany and I drove separately from Denver to Fort Collins and dealt with the horrible road conditions. We woke up this morning with a robo-call for Bethany that told her the Fort Collins schools were closed. We were doing a chili cook-off at work, so I still drove into work. My chili was a hit at the sparsely-attended event, but was still a lot of fun.
I had no doubt that it would snow this week, as Greenfoot has a show tomorrow night. It seems like we’ve had crappy weather for the last 3-4 shows that we’ve played. I’m holding out hope that the snow will taper off early enough tomorrow to encourage people to come out to the show.
For those of you in Northern Colorado, I hope that you’re safe and warm tonight (and have nowhere to go).
