SubscribeIt’s not always true, but often enough when you hear about mountain climbers that die, it’s often a result of more than one mistake. In fact, I think it usually takes about three. A climber from Boulder was recently killed climbing Mt. Rainier, actually, less than a week after our climbing party was off the mountain. [...]

Marathon Training – Bobolinks Run
I decided to use a few tools to track my marathon training (more on that endeavor later); Nike+ and MapMy Run. I know the guys at MapMyFitness, and so far, I’ve liked the mapping feature. I used it when I was in Phoenix to map my runs and it worked great. I did a nice [...]
Turns Out, I Really Like Teaching
I’ve been really luck y the last couple of weeks to have the opportunity to teach in a few different places. The most recent was this Tuesday when I offered a social media marketing workshop at the Leeds School of Business. This one made me a little nervous, attendance was entirely voluntary, and I was [...]
Presentation of Copyright for Musicians
Last week I gave a presentation on copyright issues for musicians in via the Entrepreneurial Law Clinic in the College of Music at CU in a class for musicians as entrepreneurs taught by Jeffrey Nytch. Joining me and my colleague Jonathan Haskell and I was Dave Ratner, who practices entertainment law in Denver. Like other [...]
Etown with Imogen Heap and Gregory Alan Isakov
I’ve been wanting to get to an Etown recording since I moved to Boulder. What better opportunity than tonight when two artists I really enjoy played together. For anyone still in the dark about Etown, it’s a locally recorded weekly broadcast that is distributed to hundreds of public radio stations across the country. It’s usually [...]

The video is up! Here it is for your viewing pleasure.
In My CD Player: Dark Was the Night
I picked up this absolutely stellar compilation double album on my latest trip to Bart’s CD Cellar. It includes a who’s who list of indie rock including: Andrew Bird, Arcade Fire, Bon Iver, David Byrne, Cat Power, The Decemberists, Feist, Jose Gonzalez, Grizzly Bear, Iron & Wine, My Morning Jacket, The National, The New Pornographers, [...]
Gordon Sutton and CollegeWeekends.com
One of the great things about an MBA program is the people you meet. I am particularly impressed with the entrepreneurial spirit of a number of my classmates. Gordon Sutton (a.k.a “Gordo”) came to the program as an entrepreneur and has spent a good share of the last two years applying MBA knowledge to his [...]
Ignite Boulder 4
Last night was the 4th Ignite Boulder event, hosted by the talented community organizer Andrew Hyde at the University of Colorado. Like other Ignite Boulder events, the night was a mix of informative and humorous presentations, however, last night included way more dancing, and a battle of the pitch decks as an interlude. My favorites [...]
Why I Climb
I went to see a new movie called “Rocky Mountain Highball” at the Boulder Theater tonight. The film is all about “highball” bouldering, basically climbing high enough that you think twice about falling. There was no lack of intensity, that’s for sure, and while I can’t see myself being a participant in that kind of [...]
Be Jealous of the Justice Department, They Get Phil Weiser
In good news for Phil, bad news for CU, Boulder, and Colorado, the Department of Justice appointed Phil Weiser as Deputy Assistant Attorney General for international, policy, and appellate matters at Justice Department’s Antitrust Division. Phil has been a force of nature when it comes to building up Silicon Flatirons. I could go on endlessly [...]
The Alternate Routes
About a month ago, I was standing in Bart’s CD Cellar and I heard something over the speakers. I asked who it was. The store person said, “The Alternate Routes“. I said I’d seen their CD on display, to which the store person replied and pointed, “Well, they are setting up in the back if [...]
Mountains Are For Me
I moved to Boulder almost three years ago to go to grad school. I was looking for two things: 1) an MBA/JD program with an emphasis in entrepreneurship, and 2) mountains. The first is rather self-explanatory (I could write a whole series on why CU was the perfect fit), especially given my background working for [...]
University of Colorado Wins VCIC Regionals at USC
This past weekend, the local VCIC MBA team from University of Colorado made its way down to USC to compete in the West Regional VCIC Competition. They did not disappoint. In a thrilling finish, the team from CU triumphed over MBAs from Berkeley, Arizona, SDSU, Texas and edged out UCLA by a point to take [...]

Six teams of MBAs came from Univ. of Chicago, Michigan, Wisconsin, Northwestern, Purdue, and Notre Dame. Three local companies, TravelFli, LineRate Systems, and Green Diamond Tire presented their business plans. About a dozen judges including [...]
