With spring slowly kicking in, it’s all about live music outdoors in Boulder this weekend. One of our most beloved breweries in town will be hosting a music festival in celebration of both spring and American Craft Beer Week. Upslope Brewing’s 2nd Annual Upslope Getdown will go down on Saturday in Flatiron Park from 1:00 […]

Waking up to the sound of rain is a sobering reminder for the people of Boulder county. In a way, it brings us all back to those days in September of 2013, when we never thought we’d see the sun again. Some of us were lucky. Me? I was lucky. I live on the second […]

  In 2008, the fledgling Marvel Studios released Iron Man, starring Robert Downey Jr. Before the release, there were rumblings that the film would fail, and fail big. How could it succeed? It was a movie about a superhero that only hardcore nerds like me had heard of. Plus, Downey was best known not as a […]

It may come off as cheesy, as obvious even, but no matter the connotation of this simple phrase, it is the one thing that all students should do: Be present. Last week in my Literary Analysis class, one student expressed her views on entropy – how could everything, all life and all matter, be pulled towards chaos? […]

So I’ll admit it, I am a plant nerd. Plants are neat! For those of you who also wonder about the little spots of yellow popping up across Chautauqua meadow and elsewhere I’ve got a few wildflowers you can see around Boulder now.

Although the weather will remain questionable for weeks to come, there is no reason you cannot enjoy all that Boulder has to offer this weekend, especially in the realm of family activities.

Although I’m not afraid of the dark and I prefer to live alone, I’m also kind of a jumpy and paranoid person. I […]

Meet Steelers and Penguins fan, Jason Zielinski!  After only being in Boulder for a couple months, he said that this city has surprised him. “The culture here is so free spirited,” he said. “Although, that shouldn’t have surprised me.” He has run one full marathon and two half-marathons, both his hometown of Pittsburgh.  Zielinski started […]

Love him or (most likely) hate him, Floyd “Money” Mayweather has proved yet again that he is unbeatable. 48-0. He is one win shy of tying Rocky Marciano’s record of 49-0. Floyd intends to tie the record in September and then retire as one of the greatest pound-for-pound boxers of all time. He is very […]

In 1923, the New York Times interviewed famed mountaineer George Mallory. When he was asked why he wanted to climb Mount Everest, he simply replied, “Because it’s there.” I suspect the same sentiment could apply to the Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerbergs of the world, the blazingly intelligent innovators that develop technologies that shift civilization.
