TALES FROM THE HOOD – Dr. Mead performs miracle surgery

Not many things with a “Copyright 2003 Apple Computer, Inc.” are still around, much less functional.
Except my trusty iPod Gen 3, 40 GB. It’s jam packed and the << button ceased to work a while ago, but it just keeps spinning. A while back I ordered a Do-it Yerself battery replacement kit. Like a surgeon [...]

TALES FROM THE HOOD - Squeam Friday

It was hot Friday afternoon. A sweet breeze blew through the office. And with it brought the delicious taste of a Squeam. Ahhhhh, a refreshing taste that immediately transports you to the back of a flatbed of a truck in the corner of your Uncle Jimbo’s property in Southern Kentucky, sneaking drinks as a mere [...]

CRUISER CHRONICLES – Bike or Die

What do you do when the price of oil reaches $125 a barrel? Garage the car and reach for a bike, that’s what Cultivator is doing. With the impending doom of a society built on the consumption of oil the office is ready for doomsday with a fleet of bikes ready to take its employees [...]

TALES FROM THE HOOD - The murder of Jerry French

One sunny day this little man walked into our offices at 2737 Larimer. His name was Jerry French. Yes, yes, he was full of hot air, peddling his pretty paper and whatnot, but he had an honest smile so we humored him.

As he nervously adjusted his tie and shook people’s hands with his two clammy [...]

TALES FROM THE HOOD – Heather, the vegetarian & a little pony called HiTop

Once upon a time, a girl named Heather went to a land far, far away called Paris. She wanted to go to Paris her whole life, so she was very excited.  She couldn’t wait to eat baguettes and triple cream cheeses, drink wine, smoke ciggies, and be inspired by the avant garde fashion of the [...]

A savage army of bedbugs attacked our dear designer, Heather’s posh new apartment - while she was holidaying in Paris, no less. The nerve! Luckily there was this chic, designer HAZMAT suit awaiting her return.

TALES FROM THE HOOD - Tagged Part 2

Today, while searching the great interwebs, I discovered this picture:

Which does not look unlike this picture of the tag we found on our building a few weeks ago:

I’m no Nancy Drew, or even Velma Dinkley, but I smell something fishy. I found the color-version of our gorilla (guerilla??) friend over at a favorite site Joy [...]

TALES FROM THE HOOD - Tagged

We work in the hood, kind-of. Ok, a soft version of the hood - 27th & Larimer. In any case, we’re no strangers to getting tagged. But when this guy showed up, instead of some teenager’s messy spray paint experimentation, we took notice.

Interesting…. a gorilla with the title “Witches Brew.” What could it all mean? [...]

TALES FROM THE HOOD – Ashley vs. Pickle Jar

Ever wonder how long it takes to empty out a one gallon jar of pickles from Costco? For most people a long time, for Ashley, a new record of 16 days. That’s right, Ashley - a resident of our fair office - proudly proclaimed the defeat of a gallon of pickles today marking an end [...]

TALES FROM THE HOOD - Larimer Street invasion

There are intruders in our hood. Large, human-sized, furry things with beedy eyes, and they are living secretly in the walls of buildings on our block. They are ready to attack at any moment. We hide in our office, fearing the worst. We know the inevitable will happen, and we are scared. They are [...]
