The Public Slowdown

By Brad Hubbard | 6/18/2024 It’s probably not unreasonable to say that unless you’ve been living under a rock in Denver, you’ve heard of the latest issues with RTD (Regional Transportation District). Currently they have sections of two lines that have to go 10 mph due to issues with the rail line that is inContinue reading “The Public Slowdown”

A National Week of Remembrance

I live about 10 minutes away from Columbine High School. 24 years ago on April 20, 1999, two individuals killed 13 people and then themselves. The day is sacred here in Colorado and the high school along with a few others do not have school on that day. They instead have a ‘Day of Service’.Continue reading “A National Week of Remembrance”

TEDx Mile High 2017

I should start off by saying ‘long time, no blog’ but that would just be strange. I do write all the time but it’s for my sports blog SidelineSignals.com and soon you will see my stuff on CollegeFootballNews.com. Anyway, this one is about TEDx Mile High 2017 and the things I took away. So yes,Continue reading “TEDx Mile High 2017”

Brilliance Of Retrospect

It’s the old adage, ‘hindsight is always 20/20.’ In the vast majority of the cases this is true and it’s true with Mitt Romney. I didn’t vote for Romney either time he ran for the President. However, if he would have done what he knows in retrospect he should have done and explain the ‘why’,Continue reading “Brilliance Of Retrospect”

Tribe

I came across an interview with author, filmmaker, and journalist Sebastian Junger. He was promoting his new book Tribe on ‘On Point’ with Tom Ashbrook. It was very, very interesting. This idea of a ‘tribe’ is something that was brought up by a friend of mine about 7 – 8 years ago.  He was tellingContinue reading “Tribe”

The Extraordinary

While the US sits in the every tightening grip of the 2016 Presidential election, it would be very easy to just soak in what the candidates have to say and come to the conclusion that America really is screwed. I choose not to believe that. I lean with Warren Buffett who in his annual letterContinue reading “The Extraordinary”

Playing To The Edge

You cannot have a debate about security, intelligence, terrorism or privacy without bringing in former CIA and NSA Director Michael Hayden into the conversation. Whether you agree with him or not, he is an individual who was a player on every major and controversial decision for over a decade (1999-2009) in this country. Think for a minuteContinue reading “Playing To The Edge”

The Inescapable Now

It’s looking more and more like a William Gibson or Neal Stephenson novel out there. Governments suing companies to open up security features, a new documentary looking into how our world is wrapped in hackable code, sprinkled in some drones strikes decided by big data and it’s straight armageddon out here right now. Alex GibneyContinue reading “The Inescapable Now”
