Four Years In Boulder

Four years ago today I moved to Boulder.
Wow.
Why did I move here?  I graduated college in Rhode Island, didn’t want to move back to Oregon.  I threw a dart on the map, and it landed in Red Feather Lakes, Colorado.  I called my sister, who had been to Boulder once on a road trip, to [...]

Home

It is so nice.
I feel like I left for a year. It feels so nice just to be here for more than two days.

Let’s motivate the Boulder area tech community around Jared, in the pre-voting day event called ‘caucus.’ It is really quite simple: register to vote as a Democrat by December 5th and then attend caucus, on February 5th (a Tuesday night) [...]

Thoughts on Startup Weekend and Boulder

I took a drink of my coffee this morning, took a breath, closed my eyes and had a nice moment.
Things are going well, really well. Unbelievable fairy tale well.
Startup Weekend has taken off. I am going to launch the blog today, and the general excitement is flooring me. [...]
