The impromptu Avett Brothers haiku ticket contest I launched on craigslist
Monday, April 26th, 2010
I had a ticket to Wednesday’s Avett Brothers show at the Boulder Theater. I couldn’t go, and so I went to craigslist to sell the ticket.
I didn’t want to sell it to the first person to email me … that’s boring. So I wrote this in the post: “If you want the ticket, send [...]

Saw this car parked in front of Denver’s city/county building. Plus one bajillion clever points.
On success, and the Colorado Rockies’ nine-game winning streak
Saturday, June 13th, 2009
Denver Post sports columnist Dave Krieger (catch Krieger on twitter here) juiced out a good quote on the Colorado Rockies’ season, and what’s different now, from Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki:
“The biggest thing for me is the mood on the field has changed,” Tulowitzki said. “Early on in the season, we were expecting bad things to [...]
Taking care of @ColoradoTweets
Thursday, May 28th, 2009
Today the COTweeters group-tweet list (where anyone can send their tweets to the group, and the whole group gets them) succumbed to spam-bots. It had been getting worse and worse in the past four weeks.
The bot-spammers are now winning over on COTweets, so I went and created a new Colorado group-tweet list, ColoradoTweets, that [...]
Eight haikus about Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban
Wednesday, May 13th, 2009
Here are 8 haikus I wrote today about Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban. All but one or two were written before the Denver Nuggets played the Mavericks in game 5 of their NBA playoffs series tonight.
Mark Cuban is a
rich businessman who owns the
Dallas Mavericks
He doesn’t really
know how to play basketball,
But yell? Yes he does.

John Wenzel wrote a book about indie comedy.
Sunday, November 30th, 2008
John Wenzel wrote a book about indie comedy. It was published this month. I started reading the book this week, and I noticed that Mr. Wenzel likes to put funny or not-so-funny asides in the last sentence of paragraphs. Mr. Wenzel writes about music for The Denver Post. The book, Mock Stars: Indie Comedy [...]
Bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon,
Wednesday, October 29th, 2008
bacon. I’ve been using that word a lot this week. This month. Yeah, really, this year. This week the new band I’m in, The Bacon Lobby, released our first song and music video. It’s called Bacon Man, and it’s about Obama. Sometimes we call it Obama Bacon Man. It goes “O–bama bacon man, make it [...]
DNC, Days 2 and 3: Anti-Vacation
Thursday, August 28th, 2008
Work is not vacation, but it’s not anti-vacation. When you’re around a group of people on vacation and you’re working, that’s, well, too bad. But when you’re around a big group of people having fun while you’re staring at a screen for double-digit hours on the day, watching them on their fancy vacation on that [...]
DNC, Day 1: Bruiser
Monday, August 25th, 2008
Today started slow. Got in at 8:30 a.m., started patching up bits of the site I didn’t get to on the weekend. Kept on patching and building — adding stuff like the the most-commented politics articles in the past hour / three hours to the site, hacking the AP DNC live video stream so it [...]
