So says Forbes. Denver’s ranked on the top of Forbes’ “Best Cities for Singles” list three years in a row, until this one. Forbes says it’s the methodology that caused Denver’s plummet. I wrote more about it on the Denver Post Neighbors blog.

Saturday a bunch of local bands played the Denver Post Underground Music Festival, which was the biggest local music fest I’ve ever seen, and the most fun I’ve had on a Saturday in Denver. So much good stuff. Here are the ‘most interesting’ Flickr photos from the event. These are the ones I took. And […]

Hey y’all,
Saturday night my employer, the Post, throws its 7th-annual Underground Music Festival. Well, not Saturday night. Saturday afternoon, evening and night. It’s $10 before the show (tix at www.dpums.com), $12 day-of. I don’t know half the bands playing, and that’s a whole bunch of the fun.
Here’s more info on the event:
YouTube videos of some […]

So, this afternoon I launched the sneak preview of the ‘big thing’ I’ve been building at work. It’s the Denver “Neighbors” section, and it’s got Denver news, photos, blog posts, and my favorite: the most-popular article list of what Denver readers (that might be you!) are reading.
Check it out at http://neighbors.denverpost.com/denver. Also, if you live […]

We tried this one out last night. We got two water balloons (the bigger the better here), two people, two bicycles (skateboards will also work), and a quiet street. I faced Leslie in the first match, and while she may beat me at Tetris, nimble fingers will not save you in the world of bicycle […]

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 […]

Yes, yes, the summer.
And we rip through its months
Like christmas morning.
My apologies to the non-x-mas celebrating kids out there. So, this haiku-thing picked up waves here with this lady’s Everyday Haiku. I noticed it, and she’s doing it every day, which means other people noticed it too.
