I will admit, I got really excited when I saw the lineup for the Denver Day of Rock 2011! Not only does it mix some of my favorite local acts like Bop Skizzum, The Heyday and The Railbenders, but they also have some great bands from the 90's like Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers and the Gin Blossoms!

Zaarly Comes To Boulder!
How many times have you been at work and craving some good coffee but are too lazy to run to Atlas to pick it up? Or you needed an umbrella and didn’t have time to go to Target to buy one? Or you are sick and home and just need some chicken noodle soup and medicine delivered? Zaarly is perfect for all of those situations!
New Follower Emails from Twitter
The new emails from Twitter notifying you of a new follower are quite pretty and very sleek. Here is the new version: I am a bit confused by the green checkmark though as this is not a verified account. (more…)
Sam Lee’s CD Release Party at Hi-Dive
For all of you non-tech people looking for something to do on Thursday night, I have the perfect event...a concert! But this isn't just any concert, it is a CD release for local artist Sam Lee. You can listen to his new CD below, and buy it from his Bandcamp, but the better option would be to buy it direct from him at his show, this Thursday at the Hi-Dive with Mr. Right. Better Half by Sam Lee This is not a show to miss. I will be rushing down to Denver after Ignite 15 in Boulder to make sure I make it in time.
Boulder Startup Week 2011
This Wednesday kicks off Boulder Startup Week 2011. I was out of town for Startup Week 2010 but was able to attend one event, beer and bloggers, which ended up changing my life in Boulder. While that may seem a bit over-dramatic, it is the truth. If I had not attended that event at Mountain Sun, then I never would have been introduced to Joni! It seems that most people who came to Startup Week 2010 have similar stories to share about this event and how it changed their lives. I will have to work during the day, but hope to make it out to some of ...
Guilty Pleasure
This Friday I had a random run in with my favorite Denver family, Aimee, Bryan and Declan and they introduced me to the wonderful world of Eurovision. I can now say that I am team Jedward: Ok, I will admit, they are the only 'band' I have seen from Eurovision, but I stand by my choice. UPDATE: Ok I clearly need to watch this show next time it is on, or maybe even host a party to watch the 2011 series because Aimee also just shared this gem with me, Moldova: Who wants to start a Eurovision party in Boulder with me?
Friday afternoon pick me up – AM Taxi – Fed Up
After spending all day listening to System of a Down, trying to decide if I want to see them in concert next week, I decided I needed to switch it up a bit. Luckily I saw AM Taxi tweet that their video for Fed Up was back on YouTube after EMI pulled it a few months ago. This is just what I needed to listen to on a gorgeous Friday afternoon, so I thought I'd share! Enjoy!
Latest non-tech, non-music obsession
About a week ago my roommate, Patty, came home from Target with a new water bottle. She told me that I should go to Target and get one and then blog about it, because it is that great. I didn't believe her, but when I found myself at Target last night, I couldn't help but track down this new water bottle and buy one for myself. Yes, it has been less than 24 hours with my new water bottle, but I already love it! The thing that makes this Groove CamelBak water bottle so awesome is that it has a built in filtration system. It ...
