After going over the race with Robert, and to some extent Chris, we’ve found a stumbling block: lights. The type of light needed to compete in a 24 hr event has some fairly specific requirements. First, it needs to burn for 3 hrs on a charge. If it doesn’t burn for 3 hrs (say, only… Continue reading 24hrs in the Old Pueblo is in jeopardy

Just a quick update on my broken camera. Canon confirmed receipt of the camera at their repair facility today.

Today, I wrote another article about Trulia Voices, and got another visit from the CEO of Trulia. And all of the hits on the blog caused it… Continue reading Today I was interviewed by the Wall Street Journal

Phoenix Area Real Estate Blog gets a new URL

It’s unfortunate, because there isn’t a website using the… Continue reading Phoenix Area Real Estate Blog gets a new URL
