Coffee Snobs Move on to Homemade Roasts
I’m finally making my home office more comfortable, so I can spend more focused and productive time without getting distracted by the rest of the house. One of the things that crossed my mind was installing a small batch coffee roaster. Then friend of the show Pete T. points me to the NYTimes article on …
Blog this House
Julio‘s Saturday column was about selling your house by blogging. If you recall, I did a little of that earlier this year. While the blog had no impact on the direct sale of the house (contractor down the street bought it), it had much indirect impact in my thinking about my house and the home …
Cherishing the Unrecorded Moments

Joe Urban on Denver’s Public Transit
“The bottom line is that good transit is frequent, affordable, easy to use and takes you where you want to go.” – Sam Newberg Sam really likes Denver. Unlike some other friends of mine. Personally, I’ve never been. Just around. Airport, Boulder, Broomfield. Though I’m always happy to hear when public transit works. I’m optimistic, …
Doc and Hugh, To the Rescue
Because I’m such a Doc Searls and Hugh MacLeod fan, I re-subscribed to a podcast I long ago dismissed (only because I couldn’t download the individual files from the podsh** website.) Looks like I’m not the only one regretting this decision: “Attention Doc Searls: if you ever create your own podcast, please let us know. …
