How A Boulder Tech Innovator Stays Online While Going Off-Grid

March 9th, 2024

Boulder is known for its vibrant tech scene, where entrepreneurs and innovators create cutting-edge solutions for the world’s problems. But what happens when we need to step out and unplug? Meet Ara Howard, founder of Dojo4, one of Boulder’s first start-up software companies, which recently closed its doors after nearly 15 years of success. Ara (pronounced Ae-Rah) is not your typical tech mogul.

It certainly feels that time can pass more slowly or far faster depending upon many things. The hourglass has a long and distinguished history The hourglass, also known as a sand timer or sand clock, has been a significant instrument for measuring time since its inception, believed to be around the 8th century AD.

June 11th, 2015
