An Aussie man started up a skateboarding school for children in war-torn Afghanistan and it's pretty sweet.


Skateboarding in Afghanistan Provides a Diversion From Desolation

stay classy marilyn

so its been about a month since the election and it seems (god i hope) that some change is on the way. we've got a little piece of change shaping up here in northern colorado as well - finally, thankfully, marilyn musgrave lost a re-election. our little nightmare is over but she hasn't acknowledged that fact yet.

yes, stay classy marilyn. stay classy.

career opportunity

Do you have knowledge and skills in the generation of countermeasure plans and vulnerability assessments? An ability to do GIS analysis? Generate and maintain databases? Manipulate software and incident models? Do you have the ability to act as trusted liaison and obtain National Security Secret Clearance? How are your skills in countermeasure and security analysis? Can you communicate effectively with other agencies as well as the general public?

Do you have a working knowledge of the National Incident Management System (NIMS), the Consequence Assessment Tool Set (CATS - for modeling effects of chemical releases and blasts, of course!) and buffer-zone protection plans (BZPP)?

If so, the State of Wyoming wants to hire you as their weapons of mass destruction coordinator.

Now who among us hasn't wanted to coordinate some weapons of mass destruction at one time or another? Eh?

Here's to the best animated gif you've seen all week.

I lost the good spot on the bike rack at work :(

I park my bike behind the state IT bldg (501) and have enjoyed the whole bike rack to myself for a good couple of years, but today there was not an end spot for me with the 5 bikes already locked up. I had to use one of the middle spaces and try to get my faghettaboutit U lock to fit. It took a while.

A couple cool guys I work with started riding in to work as well. They all like to make sure I know since I am the "biker dude." They have much longer commutes though. Both are looking to get more fit and use less gas. Pretty cool. I will gladly give up my side spot for that.

Deathbowl To Downtown

Friends of Good Problem, Buddy Nichols and Rick Charnoksi, are almost done with their latest and possibly last skate film — Deathbowl To Downtown — a documentary about skateboarding in New York City, and guess what ...
It's already the best thing you've ever seen.

View the Deathbowl To Downtown trailer.
