SubscribeIt’s always great to hear about friends launching new businesses. Recently one of my co-workers, Maggie Wickes, started a company called Bluebird Candy Dish selling classic candy dishes, paired with complementary candies, if so desired. The styles of the glassware and candy pairings are testament to Maggie’s impeccable taste, and the company’s mission to “revive [...]

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 [...]
Take the Bar Exam in Montana?
The bar exam looms over the heads of every student who enters law school. By the time third year (or in my case, the fourth year) you start mustering the courage to talk to the bar review sales reps and get a better idea of what you’re going to sign up for. I have a [...]

The Alternate Routes at the Bluebird
The Alternate Routes swung back through Colorado on Sunday to play at the Bluebird. Once again, it was an amazing show. I continue to absolutely love their new album, A Sucker’s Dream. The Alternate Routes are one of those rare bands that has it all: a great live show, a beautiful album, poetic lyrics, and [...]
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 [...]
Colorado State Track Meet
I’ve spent the last few months coaching high school pole vault at Fairview High School. This weekend was the state track meet held at Jeffco Stadium. There were some great performances, including Chase Cooper who jumped 17 feet. This is the photo I shot of his jump at 17. This is a HUGE jump. Unfortunately [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
2009 Boulder Regional VCIC
Last week, the Leeds School of Business, and the Deming Center more specifically, hosted the 2009 Mountain Region VCIC competition. 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 [...]

Personality by Geography
The Wall Street Journal has some fun interactive graphs online today describing states on a variety of different pyschographic basis. I had fun scrolling over Montana, Colorado, and the black hole for happiness commonly referred to as “New England”. Enjoy.
My Third 14er – Mount Yale
It says in the book that you can see 30 14ers from the top of Mt. Yale on a clear day. I couldn’t pick them out well enough to know if that’s true or not, but I can tell you that the view is amazing. I can also tell you that the hike to the [...]
