The monthly Tetris tournament hit the fan last night. I filmed a bunch of matches (I don’t know about you, but watching video of competitive 3-minute-limit Tetris on YouTube is quite exciting). I also recovered from a round-two loss (it’s double-elimination), won my next 6 or 7 matches (including a “W” against Vinnie, who’s good [...]
It just showed up in the mail. My new driver’s license, from my new state of residence. Colorado. And holy crap! this driver’s license is a flimsy piece of shit. It looks like it was designed by somebody who really hated their job. Let me tell you the negative qualities of this driver’s license in [...]

This will be my third year in a row in a newsroom on election night. It’s a fun and intense way to spend the evening. This year I’m putting together the Denver Post webcam coverage, with the help of co-worker and tech guy Doug Conarroe. There will probably be links to the webcams starting around [...]
I’ve got a new zip code (80204), a new extension at my office number (1057), and a new skyline.
In the past 16 days I travelled 6880 miles (more than half done in my hardy Honda Civic hatchback). This incuded a wedding, a visit with my dad’s side of the family (four separate visits), two stops [...]
