Dog Daze at the Bay in Broomfield - 08/31/08 06:15 PM
If your dog loves other dogs and loves water just as much, you really must take him to The Bay on September 13, from either  9-11 a.m. or 11 a.m.-1 p.m. or 1-3 p.m.
Note that the swimming isn't for the humans, just for the dogs.
To ensure there is enough space they would like you to pre-register. It's $5 for residents and $7 for non-residents.
For those of you who don't know what The Bay is: it's Broomfield's Aquatic Park that is normally open (for the humans) from Memorial Day to Labor Day every year and includes serpentine slides an … (0 comments)

Still think blogs aren't important? - 08/18/08 10:01 AM
Of course you don't! That's why you're reading this. But for further proof, I just found out today that Google has a special beta (which means it's still in the "testing" phase but good enough to be tested randomly by the public) search engine for blogs http://blogsearch.google.com/.

On a lazy rainy day in Broomfield - 08/16/08 01:17 PM

It is just kind of one of those days where you want to lounge around the house. One of my favorite things to do while lounging about is watch movies online. Here are some great sources to do just that:
iTunes: I love to download movies to my iPod. I know, the screen is so tiny but I still love it because I can take it anywhere and watch them. If you rent a movie it expires in 24 hours but if you buy it you can keep it and watch it forever on your computer or your iPod.

Broomfield City Council Update - 08/13/08 04:52 PM
I received my unofficial minutes from the recent Broomfield City Council meeting and thought I would share some of the notes I found interesting.
It appears that that service area for the ZIP Shuttle at the Flatiron Mall will be expanding. For those of you who don't realize it, mall shoppers pay for the ZIP via an additional tax that is automatically added on through each merchant. (Check youre receipt!) The shuttle has come under some fire in the last year or so for costing an average of over $7 per passenger to operate.
A new chapter regarding Public Nuisance may … (0 comments)

What are they building in Broomfield now? - 08/08/08 12:23 PM
If you're like me, you often drive by areas in Broomfield and note all the construction work going on and want to know what the heck they're doing. (Of course if you're really like me you keep hoping for another Taco Bell - the one at 120th and Sheridan is just toooo busy.)
If you'd like to know about Broomfield commercial development click here for a map. It appears from this, that most of the new activity is taking place at the Barber Farm area (behind KMart at 120th & Sheridan) where the new WalMart and other whatnots will be built. … (0 comments)

Vote early! Vote often Broomfield! - 08/06/08 09:13 AM
Okay, okay, I'm kidding about the "often" part. But you can vote early in the Broomfield County primary starting today. You know, as often as I complain about bloated and inefficient bureaucracies (which is pretty much every day) I do have to give props to the Broomfield Clerk & Recorder's office. They appear to do pretty well in matters of voting and registration. I know that when I changed from having a party affiliation to Unaffiliated last spring, I mailed it in and in less than a week everything was completel. They also have so great online resources:
