My Favorite Photo from Ignite Boulder 8

• This is essentially the last thing I see before I launch into the opener at each Ignite. I look over at Andrew, wait for my cue, try to forget that more than 800 people are staring at me – and put my withered heart and brittle soul into each note.  Thanks to Matt Gist for the shot. [...]

Westword Twit of the Week - Good Lord

• In a delightful turn of events, Westword selected me as its Twit of the Week. Basically a featured Twitter user from the Boulder/Denver nexus.

If you were not there and live nearby, please explain why you would hurt me so in the comments. Artful heckling is rad; Clumsy heckling is badNot [...]

New York City in 140 Characters

• I returned from my first trip to NYC last week and have been sluggish about documenting it. Even while I was there, I was pretty bad at capturing the occasion. With the exception of a handful of ponderous tweets and a few iPhone pics of my hotel room, I was too busy with work to narrate my time there. So I summed it up in 140 characters instead: New York City’s variety is only exceeded by its capacity for people, hubbub and opportunity. Hailing cabs was difficult for me. [...]
