Lately, the same child in me that lamented the idea of a buffalo burger has taken another look at the whole idea of eating meat.

A while ago, I attempted to write a series called “Must Read/See/Hear For Your Monday Morning,” and it didn’t last past a single entry. Part of the reason it didn’t do well is because I just put way too much content in the post, and if I’m going to do this more often, I should make it far easier to digest.

Although there are numerous works, both fictional and non-fictional, that have influenced me quite greatly, I would have to settle on one particular book that has stood out as The Book That Changed My Life.

I’ve been in San Diego for just over five weeks now, and life is radically different than I thought it would be. I guess I had certain kinds of expectations.

The last time I left Boulder, I knew I was coming back for school. Now I don’t have any other reason to come back besides the fact that I love this town. I appreciated it a lot more when I left it for a while, and it’ll be that way again.

I have to say that this was probably my favorite Ignite, and it was not because I felt like I succeeded — that’s just the icing on the cake. There were some fantastic presentations that exceeded my expectations and absolutely blew my mind. I laughed, learned, and overall, I really enjoyed myself.

I learned something about Pyrex tonight. Extreme temperatures or stress can shatter and entire object made of tempered glass — you’re not supposed to use it on the stovetop or in the broiler.

Plain and simple, Twitter is just not the place for a multitude of valuable interactions; it takes away from quality, just as not all news can be summarized in 30-second snippets or within a half hour of a news program. Regardless of the great service it can provide in many ways, it just isn’t the best place for everything.

Before rooting for the Cubs, I really didn’t root for anybody. I was happy with the Red Sox winning their first World Series in decades because I knew the Cubs weren’t very close to it themselves. Several years later, after choosing my allegiance, I admit that I enjoyed seeing the Rockies make it to the World Series — even though it meant that my Cubs weren’t there.

My VW Tiguan Press Launch experience was filmed for the purpose of showing incoming students or potential students the kinds of opportunities available at CU.

I think about life in Sweden almost daily. If I had the opportunity — that is, the visa for a job and a job that can pay my bills — then I’d probably be back there in an instant. After all, part of the reason I pretty much abandoned my desire to go to law school was because I could see myself living in Sweden again.

When I first saw trailers of Up in the theaters, I knew right away that Pixar would have a hit. What I didn’t realize is that the film would be more of a tear-jerker than a comedy fest; Up seemed much more in-tune to the heartstrings than the funny bone, drawing more subtle humor than outright laughs in a story that deals with some of life’s more heart-wrenching situations.
