The worst work travel experience, hands-down
Okay, so our company bought another company here in Boulder earlier last month. Very nice. Talked to the people out there, they're all cool people, got the gist of what needed to be installed, made all the appropriate appointments, etc ( Read more... ) -
MY review of Prometheus (SPOILERS)
I'm going into spoilers because I wanted to address some of the complaints on specifics of the film with my opinions. If you've seen the movie these will make more sense, but if you're considering seeing the movie and really want an idea of how it *feels* (especially before you outlay the $$ for Digital XD 3D) this may help.

Another food posting
So last trip up to Portland wasn't really for new restaurant experiences, at least for me. Roger, however, got a treat with eating at Pazzo and Toro Bravo - my two new "favorites when money isn't a biggie" up there. Also ate at Mother's Bistro for breakfast this time, and take out at a Lebanese place for dinner (portions are absolutely huge there ( Read more... ) -
Where I've been
I'm not bragging here, I'm just showing the contrast of where I seem to travel most. Also, I only included places I've been outside of the airport for a day (or more), and did more than just cross borders - i.e. actually *visited* and seen things by foot.
My US travel experience:
