Hey Comcast, Are You Listening?

Published on June 30, 2008

My buddy and I spent hours crawling and sweating in a 130 degree attic this weekend, wiring the house for cable. Why? Because the installer said, and I quote: “Sorry, man. I don’t crawl in attics.”
Fair enough. I knew to do the job right, I would have to do it myself. So after several false […]


Welcome… now move the hell out of the way.

Albuquerque is a unique town, filled with ever-expanding diversity and a rich culture. The mountains in the east open up in the mornings to a flowing river of cascading sunlight and the desert in the west displays all its glory as it sends waves of color into the air and across the Rio […]

Nob Hill Bar & Grill: Cool Knives, Chocolate Beer & Salt Water

Published on May 4, 2008

I can’t stop going to the new Nob Hill Bar and Grill. Here’s what’s calling me back:

Remember the first time someone showed you satellite view from Google maps?
“Hey, I can see my house!”

This morning’s Albuquerque Journal reports that APD are “looking into the possibility” that the person caught on video running over a woman at a Central-area bar might be APD Sgt. Andrew Gallegos.

I Thought Something Tasted Funny

Published on February 29, 2008

My office is a couple of blocks from the Arby’s near Menaul and San Pedro, so I’ve run in for a quick bite on especially busy days.
Aside from the filthy countertop and tables, I’ve noticed odd behavior from employees in that location, including arguing with each other in front of customers. But despite the red […]

Published on November 14, 2007

Call me typical. I like food. A good cold beer poured into a frozen glass freakin’ rocks. Give me a grill hot as hell with sizzling meat and I’m in heaven. I especially dig ABQ. So I decided to come up with a list—-a checklist of what every […]
