Only replace &quot;Vicodin&quot; with &quot;Flexeril&quot; (a muscle relaxer, not a pain med). It was simply miraculous when it finally ended, so I imagine you&#039;re feeling the same way. &#039;Glad to hear everything is getting back to normal.

Your stories had me laughing and cringing at the same time. &#039;Glad to hear that K had such a good time this year. She looks so professional coming off the block!

Our own minds can absolutely be our worst enemies sometimes. I&#039;ve never heard it put as succinctly as the line you quoted, but it&#039;s a good one. Good luck with your training!

I couldn&#039;t agree with Mike more. Just write. Let it flow. The momentum of that will drive your posts onward. Not only that, but I believe that just like anything else we do, we get better when we do it more often. Prolific writing should (in turn) create more chances for you to get even better and perhaps be happier with your writing. Will every post be a home run? Probably not, but that&#039;s okay. You&#039;ve got to keep swinging!

Good post on a topic that deserves more attention. Why is there such a stigma about this? Why are so many people afraid (ashamed?) of their own bodies? Why don&#039;t we teach our kids to be more open about this subject? Can I pull my pants up now?

Awesome unicorn fly-by! Thanks for the video posts. It&#039;s cool to keep up with what you&#039;re doing. Take care!

The Indiana Jones-esque travel map along with plane sounds is friggin awesome!! I quite literally laughed out loud, and I still have a huge grin on my face. Well done, sir. Enjoy your trip!

We&#039;ll definitely have to do it again sometime! This is a great write-up, and I completely agree that the event was a blast. Jeremy deserves a lot of props for his role in getting things set up. And definite big props go to Threadless, Slice of Lime, and Flying Dog. Thank you for your support!

Thanks for a great write-up, and I can&#039;t wait to see you all at the next one! Best, Jared Tue, 27 Jan 2009 06:13:02 +0000 http://www.rockyradar.com/2009/01/26/boulder-podcamp-a-thrilling-debut/698#IDComment14375811 http://petewarden.typepad.com/searchbrowser/2008/12/what-does-the-bouldertwits-graph-mean.html#IDComment13283409 Hi Pete- This is an incredibly helpful and intuitive tool. Thanks for creating it! Let me know when you get into town. I&#039;d love to sit down over a drink and learn more about you. Don&#039;t hesitate to ask if you need anything! Tue, 30 Dec 2008 04:31:03 +0000 http://petewarden.typepad.com/searchbrowser/2008/12/what-does-the-bouldertwits-graph-mean.html#IDComment13283409 http://www.zerologic.com/Blog/The-Depressed-Southern-Small-Town-Economy.html#IDComment12299737 I grew up in a similar environment to what you&#039;re describing, and have seen the decline of so many of these small towns. I agree with what you&#039;ve said here on many levels, and would add &quot;Lack of Education&quot; as an over-arching theme that is comprised of many of the things you described (Dignity, Apathy, Welfare) and more. Second point: I&#039;m not a fan of Walmart. I have shopped there in the past, but tend not to anymore. As a corporation, I generally don&#039;t like the way they do things. In addition, I am a staunch supporter of keeping spending dollars (and thus sales tax income) inside the community. That being said, I&#039;m wondering about the true economic impact of Walmart stores opening up in small communities. There appears to be (and I have experienced myself) a lot of anecdotal evidence, but do you know of any rigorous studies that have proven (or disproven) the theory? I look at a store&#039;s basic impact on the community in two ways: sales tax revenue and jobs created. Using those metrics, I would guess that one large Walmart (operating for 24 hours a day) would actually add *more* to the community on both counts than multiple independent &quot;Mom &amp; Pop&quot;-type stores operating for fewer hours. Again, that is pure educated guessing, and I would love to get some hard numbers on it. I would think that the one Walmart would employ more people than the other stores combined due to the additional shifts required (assuming that those same people could/would be hired). Also (and here is where I really tread on thin ice), I think the sales tax income to a community would *increase* due to a higher volume of purchases made locally. Specifically, I wonder about &quot;special&quot; purchases (TVs, game consoles, appliances, etc) that would not have been made locally before. When I was growing up, there were many things that simply weren&#039;t available locally, so we went to &quot;the city&quot; to get them, and our money (&amp; tax dollars) went there instead of staying in our community. Anyway, my guessing is probably no more sound that anyone else&#039;s. I *do* believe that Walmarts kill off small businesses. But my question is: What is the net impact on the community? Thanks for a thought-provoking post.

Thanks for the idea!

Any chance we could see that? Fri, 24 Oct 2008 14:13:40 +0000 http://andrewhyde.net/my-2008-colorado-voter-notes/#IDComment9057533 http://andrewhyde.net/be-political/#IDComment8737193 &quot;there will be a lot of small biz owners who get hit by his &quot;$250,000&quot; line in the sand for tax cuts/hikes&quot; Need more data, please. &quot;A lot&quot; doesn&#039;t mean anything to me. Do you have numbers and sources to support that claim? I&#039;m curious to know if it&#039;s true or not. Does the SBA keep track of that information? In my circle of small business owner friends, I know of *very* few (maybe less than 2%) who would be above that number. And those that are above it tend to be *well* above it, to where they would be in the 39% bracket anyway.

What does it take for them to become involved? I&#039;d love to see a post written solely about this. What are your thoughts? Thu, 16 Oct 2008 21:41:22 +0000 http://andrewhyde.net/with-all-this-talk-about-the-economy/#IDComment8736973 http://andrewhyde.net/brilliant-post-on-boulder/#IDComment6435873 Interesting. In nearly every engineering major that CU offers, they are ranked in the top 20 in the nation among public universities, and generally within the top 35 when you throw in the private ones. NASA gives the aerospace programs at CU more funding than any other college in the US. And while not exactly an engineering degree, the physics program is thought to be one of (if not the) best in the nation, bar none. I&#039;m seriously not trying to be a fact sheet for them, but I am curious as to why it appears that you&#039;re not a proponent. Bad experience? Overall impression?

Everything worthwhile always does!

After all, if everyone acted like Tim Ferriss, no one would have any readers at all! We would all be producers with no consumers. Thus, it&#039;s probably best not to have a 100% no follow ratio.... Another key point is that the &quot;balance&quot; for one person will be completely different from the &quot;balance&quot; for someone else. (witness Ferriss vs. GV) It&#039;s something you have to define for yourself. You can&#039;t get upset at someone if their definition of balance happens to be 180 degrees out of phase with yours. In the final analysis, whether you think someone is a God or an Ass is probably in direct proportion to how much they care about what you think. This is a thought-provoking post, and good comment discussions as well! Gwen, you deserve kudos for creating a post that people want to respond to.
