I just want to thank the Westminster Police Department for their work tonight on Halloween. When we were out walking the kids around to different houses, the Westminster PD was patrolling the neighborhood making sure everyone was having a nice and safe evening.
Thanks!
Builder going bankrupt, homeowners on their own
9NEWS – Builder going bankrupt, homeowners on their own
More on Neumann Homes and their bankruptcy. They have completely abandoned their developments and are leaving homes unfinished. These are homes that have been sold to people who are now out their down payments.
Also, homeowners who closed within the last year are now out the one-year warranty that they have paid for. We utilized the one year warranty to fix little things that affected our house. Problems with toilets, the wood floors, some concrete work, and problems with the windows. We were able to get them fixed. But now, that won’t be covered by Neumann for those other homeowners.
Finally many homeowners are in limbo because Neumann Homes has actually not filed for Chapter 11 yet. They have announced that they will, but they haven’t yet. So there is confusion in the air. Continue reading “Builder going bankrupt, homeowners on their own”
DIA looking to ease security lines
9NEWS – Article – DIA looking to ease security lines
The problem is not the lines or the people in the lines, it is the people that are hired by the Transportation Security Administration to watch the monitors and make sure that nothing bad is getting on.
Most of them are rude and have a power complex. They have power over you. They can make your life hell.
In one experience I had going through DIA security, there was a couple from Denver who spoke very little english and they were going on a visit to their former home in Bulgaria.
To try and communicate with them, the TSA person just spoke louder. She never tried to slow down and speak calmly and try to understand where these people were coming from. It was quite rude. Continue reading “DIA looking to ease security lines”
Happy Halloween
Well it is another Halloween in Denver and it is raining and snowing around town. Just a typical Halloween around here.
It is going to be nice and chilly around here tonight when we take the kids around the neighborhood.
Stay safe.
Chris Pirillo: Apple Trusts Us, Microsoft Doesn’t
Chris Pirillo has a really good point about the new Leopard release. Apple trusts you. They don’t require activation. If you buy the one disc version, it trusts you to install it on one computer. If you buy the family pack, you can install it on up to five computers.
The problem is that Microsoft doesn’t trust you. It has a complicated authentication process and digital rights that returns a large number of errors that disables Windows for users who have a legal copy.

Verizon, Google Discuss Mobile Phone Partnership
Verizon, Google Discuss Mobile Phone Partnership – WSJ.com
This would definitely be of interest to me. I am a Verizon subscriber and would be interested in purchasing a Google specific phone.
It would also create some competition for AT&T and the iPhone as they move forward, especially if they are to allow third-party applications to be added to the phone.
Finally, with some Google executives on the Apple Board of Directors and Al Gore, a big Google investor, on the Apple Board, I am wondering if we will see more of a partnership between Google and Apple on a device like the iPhone on other platforms, like Verizon.
It will be interesting to watch.

Congrats to the Red Sox
Congratulations to the Boston Red Sox on winning the 2007 World Series.
They played the best baseball throughout this Series and deserved to win.
The Colorado Rockies had a wonderful season and fought to the end. I think this is only the beginning of a wonderful run for the Colorado Rockies. They have good base of players, a good minor league system, and a good future.
See you in April. Go Rockies!
World Series Game 4 not going well…
Well Aaron Cook has done what he has had to do in the game so far. He has kept the Boston Red Sox in check and has given up only two runs.
The problem is that he has no run support. The Rockies had lead-off hitters at second with no outs a couple of times, but they have not been able to get them home.
The bats need to awaken and the Rockies hitters need to relax.
Let’s go Rockies!
Getting Ready for Game Four of the World Series
It is now time for the Rockies to get going and win a game in the World Series, or it will be time to go home.
The Rockies offense began to wake-up in game 3, but the pitching has still be abysmal. They will need an all-out-effort tonight to have any chance to be the Red Sox.
Let’s have a good game. Go Rockies!
