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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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.

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]
