New Belgium's Founder Goes Energy Neutral

Here is a great link to a new posting on New Belgium's Blog, "The Tinkerer" which talks about the easy things every one of us can do to help get closer to being energy neutral. The exciting thing about Jeff's ideas here are that they are things that everyone can do. He is not talking about installing wind turbines on the roof, or a hydroelectric dam in the canal in the back yard, but just about the everyday things we have plugged in that actually take a lot of energy even when not in use. So have a look, and walk around your house and think about all the things that you may be able to unplug! Not into sustainability for environmental reasons, just give this a shot then and see how it impacts your wallet when that next utilities bill rolls on in! The benefits can be huge!!

Bummer Man!

So the fine people over at NBB decided to go with another candidate for the position I was up for, and I am pretty bummed out about it!! The upside however is that there was over 170 applicants and they only interviewed 10 people, so that in itself is a pretty darn good achievment. Also I got the chance to get to know two more people a little better, thanks to the opportunity Dave and Tyler gave me. So thanks guys and I am sure I will see you the across the table the next time something opens up!!

(This is an abstract view of my devotion to become part of NBB)

Well Its Been a While!

So for any of you that have been following along I know its been a while since I have posted anything new. Life in Fort Collins has been busy, I am entrenched in the middle of the fall semester here at CSU trying to whittle away the credits needed for my masters degree. Exciting things have been happening however, I got the chance to interview over at New Belgium Brewery and have my fingers crossed that I will be able to take that path soon!! Also, a new chapter of mountain biking has began for me with the purchase and evolution into the full suspension world. Until now I had been adamant about my hardtail and finally was persuaded to upgrade. I went with 2008's Yeti 575, and so far love how this magical machine has transformed my riding. I'll post pictures from my next ride, which hopefully is soon since its been in the 70's here this week. Other than that things are just rolling smoothly into the winter season. Here are a few random pictures from the fall so far, I hope you enjoy and there will be more to come!!
