Crows
I rode the North Table rim rock trail this weekend for the first time this summer. It’s a magnificent little 1.7 mile trail on the top of the mesa, a breezy little relief after you’ve busted your ass climbing up from the valley that encompasses the Coors brewery, clear creek and the straggly bits of Golden.
The Europe
For my Grandmother's 90th birthday bash – being that…
Austin’s Problems
That liberal blue dot in the middle of Texas (that everyone wants to move to) is an inclusive and progressive place, right? Actually not so much, considering the African-American population of the city dropped as the overall population grew by 20%.
Terror & Guns
If a 22-year-old Muslim man stabbed his roommates to death in their sleep, embarked on a killing spree, and claimed in written and video manifestos that he acted to teach hated women a lesson, there's little doubt that many would label him a terrorist. That label was scarcely appended to the Santa Barbara killer after his murders.
Ocean Front Property
..studies released this week are announcing a bleak future for the West Antarctic Ice Sheet — and an accompanying sea-level rise across the globe.
Better Place
I remember reading the initial Wired article about Better Place and thinking, this could be amazing if they can pull it off and that's a big if. $1 billion and a meager 1,400 cars later, it pretty much exemplifies startups gone wrong.
SXSW
I first went to Interactive in 2006, I saw Twitter's launch (and thought, wow that will never work), and it's really weird to me that it's all now history.
Arizona
Well thank god for small victories. Also, I'm sorry, but that photo of Governor Brewer is super scary.
Mr. Fusion
“When the lasers are fired, the capsule is compressed 35 times. That is like compressing a basketball to the size of a pea.”
Open Letters
Two of them, from Wendy Davis's tragically abandoned daughters. As previously noted, the women of Texas are not to be messed with.
Alphabetizing
I’m slightly dyslexic, so putting things in proper alphabetical order has always been an unduly arduous task for me. I’d never thought of it as something that had to be discovered though. Apparently so.
