I was just looking at the right hand side bar for this website, and realized there are blog archives dating back to October 2000. Wow. Can you believe it? Do you know of anyone whose blog archives goes farther back in time than that?

Mythbusters
After watching Mythbusters on my TiVo over the weekend, I just had to geek out and post – for the first time – to the online Mythbusters discussion forum. Yes, 18 years later my aerospace engineering studies still occasionally come in handy for something! 🙂 Here’s what I had to say: http://community.discovery.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/9401967776/m/11219196101/p/4
Grow Local Day – May 14
Did you know that today, May 14, 2009 is Denver’s “Grow Local Day”? Yes, it is! It was so declared by Mayor John Hickenlooper. And I can’t believe I had to read about it only instead of hearing about it first from Beth, who’s become quite the local Denver expert. Here’s a story about Hickenlooper’s… Continue reading Grow Local Day – May 14
our home value is going down
In Broomfield, everyone is getting their “2009 Real Property Notice of Valuation” letters last week and this week.

car share comes to Denver!
I just read that OccasionalCar.com is buying its first two cars for a car share program in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. I’m glad to see the car share concept is finally coming to Denver. I’m quite certain it’ll never read out to the burbs where I live, though. Too bad. OccasionalCar.Com – Convenient Carshare vehicles… Continue reading car share comes to Denver!
my birthday
Yesterday was my 40th birthday. Unfortunately, I had to work, and it was a depressing day at the office, especially for a Friday. But to counter it, I had an awesome birthday dinner party. About 18 or 20 of my friends and family joined me at Sushi Mara for a fine meal. We were there… Continue reading my birthday
remember me?
I haven’t really been writing that much on my toddbradley.com blog lately. I guess I’ve been too busy with other stuff. Plus, I fear my time on Facebook has sucked away some of my time from writing heftier articles here. So let me toss out something that’s on my mind this week: This Friday is… Continue reading remember me?
