Saturday Coffee 1/26/08

Sorry its been so long! How is everyone? It has been very, very busy. I have a lot to tell you guys.

Darla and I have set our wedding date. We are heading out to Vegas in May! We wanted it to be a really fun, but super casual event, so we are going for a cabana by the pool ceremony at Mandalay Bay. It should be a riot. Darla and I having both been previously married, we don't want to short change the importance of the sanctity of marriage but we wanted to do something really different and make it a super fun time.

I have also been asked to present my Simple Changes speech again. I am highly honored that people would want to hear about it again. I will also want to add some additional content that I didn't cover last time and add a little content that would be relevant to moving to our new office downtown.

Also this week I attended a course put on by The Green Building Initiative and I have been certified as a third party verifier for the Central Ohio Green Building Initiative's Green Building Program. Check out the site. I will be attending the International Builder's Show in Feb to see the official National kickoff

The Big Lewbowski beer tasting at Studio 35 was an absolute blast. Columbus Brewing Company had five of their beers and 5 "guest" beers. I particularly enjoyed the CBC IPA (India Pale Ale) and the CBC Java Porter. The Brewmaster, Eric Bean was the MC for the events and did a fabulous job. Bravo, Eric. One thing that I learned is that they do give brewery tours on non-brew days. I would like to do this soon. I did a brewery hop in Denver through Great Divide, Rock Bottom, Wynkoop, and Breckenridge and was a great time to see all the different beer styles.

Kyle Jodice contact me about a company that is offering green home products. Check them out at Let's Go Green.

Bicyclists check this Treehugger post out. This is very disturbing.

Congratulations on all counts!

Could you share your Simple Changes presentation here in some form? I'd love to see it!
