Frisco, Colorado. This small town is changing. Is it good, or bad? - 08/28/07 10:03 PM
Where once we had little cabins, today we have huge condo buildings. Yes, they are designed nicely, and have a mountain feel, but the town is losing a little of its charm and quaintness. One example is the half acre site at First and Granite, that used to have a Bed and Breakfast … (29 comments)

A blog where every post is worth reading - 08/26/07 12:31 AM
I was doing a little research tonight, looking for corroboration on an opinion I had about new domain names being sandboxed by google. I figured that surely Brad Carroll would have written about it as he is so knowledgeable about SEO and web design. He should be, as that is what … (48 comments)

Blogging for the long tail. What does it mean? - 08/15/07 12:18 AM
I am not particularly tech savvy, and I like things to be explained simply, without a lot of jargon. Here is my attempt to explain the "long tail" in a way that I hope others also think is simple. It is a term that if you know and understand it, will help you … (68 comments)
We have cheap houses but you probably can't buy one. - 08/14/07 12:27 AM
This was the title of a post I did a couple of months ago on my outside blog. I was reminded recently, when I read a post by Esko Kiuru about the lack of affordable housing in Las Vegas, that not every resort area has good programs to help locals get affordable housing. … (26 comments)
The Popcorn Report. It's about trends. Do you remember what it said? - 08/11/07 11:59 PM

She heads a company called BrainReserve which specializes in predicting trends that will happen years down the road. Faith Popcorn is the person that coined the phrase "Cocooning," … (33 comments)

The ski areas are working very hard to make sure that everyone knows that they are now using clean, natural resources as a source of electricity. Do you have any idea what it means for them to be wind powered? At first I visualized many big wind turbines sitting on top of the ski mountains. We … (24 comments)

Copper Mountain, Breckenridge or Keystone; where is the best place to buy a condo? - 08/07/07 11:33 PM
People often ask me, "where is the best place to buy my condo?" My answer is usually another question, "where do you like to ski?" Most times they are indirectly asking me for the area with the best appreciation, and, for that reason, I think I would have to say Breckenridge but qualify it … (26 comments)
Breckenridge, Colorado is in bloom - 08/01/07 12:16 AM
For some reason, flowers in the Colorado mountains are always extraordinary. I think the combination of the short growing season, which makes everything bloom at once, the cool temperatures and the proximity to the sun with the extra UV rays, gives us spectacular shows. I was in Breckenridge last week with … (31 comments)
