So, after moving twice now inside of six months, it’s become painfully obvious that I just overwhelmingly own too much shit. This doesn’t really come as much of a surprise — I love STUFF, and my parents are both tried & convicted packrats. Now, as I stack box after box…
I love living in Boulder, and here’s part of why.
Was looking something up on Stack Overflow, and this was the banner ad. First I saw "Graphicly" and did a double take. Then realized I recognized Foraker too.

Oak, one of Pearl street’s newest restaurants, has a single beer tap. Currently it’s 10.10.10 from Stone. Pretty crazy choice. Crazy awesome.

I’m curious which will be delivered to the Lansing facility the fastest. The one downstairs is clearly more convenient, however, I’ve noticed a slightly longer-than-usual…
Dropped a chain
