A short film created in spring 2008 for Mr. Madison's film class at East High School in Denver by Ben Dewey, Alex Gelernter, Jules Myers, Jacob Wiens and Mark Franklin

Saw this beauty on Speer Boulevard while I was filming a bike vs. car commute challenge last month.

Fairlight and I take a trip through the single stream recycling plant (read: put everything in one bin; no more sorting!) in Denver. Visit denver.yourhub.com/DenverNorth/Blog~402516 for more.

Feb. 21 @ Manual High School, Denver, Colo.

The Denver East High School Angels, coached by Rudy Carey, takes on rival Montbello High School Warriors, coached by David Carey (Rudy's son).

Last year's overtime win by the underdog Montbello over the eventual 5A state champion Angels was the best basketball game I've seen in my life. Montbello lost eight seniors, but still managed to put in for a pretty great game.

And their drumline just can't be beat.

Check out 2:30 for the best missed dunk ever.

Elsewhere in these United States, it's pretty much a guarantee that by May 1, it's nice out. While in Denver we've had some pretty nice days, May Day itself brought a freak snow storm, complete with wicked huge flake clusters. So for juxtaposition's sake, here's Jonathan Coulton's "First of May" and some footage of said snow storm. (Also, my first experiment with time lapse)
