Unless you’ve been living in a cave, I’m sure you know that starting in January 2014, the state of Colorado has allowed licensed dispensaries to legally sell marijuana (aka cannabis) and related products, including “edibles”. Edibles are usually candy or cookies (but sometimes things like butter, pretzels, etc.) that are infused or coated with hash… Continue reading marijuana candy scare 2014

script to make a pile of Zeros – pile-o-zeros.bash
I’m delving into a role playing game called Dungeon Crawl Classics Role Playing Game (DCC RPG) by Goodman Games. It’s got a unique character creation philosophy. Instead of spending a bunch of time crafting your perfect 1st level character, you create a pile of throwaway 0-level characters, sometimes called “Zeros”. Then, to kick off a… Continue reading script to make a pile of Zeros – pile-o-zeros.bash
Todd’s World of Coffee
We’ve now been living in Capitol Hill in Denver for three months. One of the things I realized when we moved here is that there are a lot of coffee shops within easy walking distance. With the help of Yelp, I made a list of all seven that are within a half mile, which I… Continue reading Todd’s World of Coffee
how I recovered my own damn data when my LaCie Little Big Disk took a crap
Oh what a terrible tale! This is one of those lessons that was so painful and expensive to learn that I feel compelled to share it. It all has to do with an external hard drive called a LaCie Little Big Disk Thunderbolt 1 TB. Mine died, then I had frustrating tech support from LaCie,… Continue reading how I recovered my own damn data when my LaCie Little Big Disk took a crap
have you heard the phrase “the body is open”?
I thought this phrase was a common idiom, but judging from the Google results, now I’m not so sure. I had a boss years ago who taught it to me. The phrase comes from surgery, as I heard the story. If you’re a surgeon and you’ve already gone to the trouble of sedating a patient,… Continue reading have you heard the phrase “the body is open”?
back in the hood
Beth and I moved from south Boulder to central Denver about a month ago, but I think it didn’t fully sink in until just today how wonderful it is being in a real neighborhood of a real city. I’d seen some small signs over the past month, like the fact that I calculated there are… Continue reading back in the hood
another spinal tap!
I had my fifth spinal tap (aka “lumbar puncture”) today. This is part of the recovery process from my SCDS repair surgery back in November, four months ago. The LP will allow us to see two things. First, what’s my cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure currently, since I’ve been taking 2 Diamox 250 mg pills a… Continue reading another spinal tap!
a new film by Todd Bradley
A few months ago, one of my Facebook friends turned me on to a short film contest that was right up my alley. It was the Real Food Media Contest, and they had a contest to make a short documentary on one of a set of topics related to food and farming. So I took… Continue reading a new film by Todd Bradley
Three important travel lessons I learned from my weekend in Dallas
I went to Dallas for a short weekend on a videography project. Getting there was one crappy surprise after another. Here are the key lessons.
new home, new coffee
This week we moved into our new apartment in the Capitol Hill area of Denver. The quality of our neighborhood skyrocketed! This area actually feels and acts like a neighborhood that the residents care about, and you can see it just on the short walk from our apartment down to 6th Avenue. There, on a… Continue reading new home, new coffee
