Big thanks to Claire and Javon for making this happen, helps to have well connected friends! On Tuesday we woke up early, met at JW Marriott (where Obama was staying) and got our briefing for the following two days. We then car pooled to DIA with Secret Service, picked up 15 vans, and begun to...

I was planning on writing a few blogs about my trip to NZ this summer but Newschoolers was kind enough to hire me to write a few featured articles about my trip so instead of posting similar content twice, I'll just link the first, of two, NZ articles here on NS-...

I try not to make a point of bragging, but in this case it's unavoidable. This summer had to be one of the best (if not THE best) of my life. I guess it all began where most summers begin- at the end of spring. The snow was melting quickly in CO, and I had just gotten back from China, Hong...

With our trip to Hong Kong half over, we still had tons of stuff we wanted to see and do. One day while out shopping for some gifts, we stumbled across this interesting store which sold items of all kinds. The only weird thing was that all the items were made of paper, even things like iPods...

After spending a day in Korea and a week in Guangzhou, China, Alex and I headed to Hong Kong to see the sights. After a quick train ride and some customs/quarantine procedures, we arrived in downtown Hong Kong and grabbed a cab. The whole right drive thing is always interesting at first...

Guangzhou might very well be the crappiest, ugliest city in all of China. There is no tourism here, no sights to see, nothing to do, per se. That's ok though, Guangzhou doesn't claim to be anything that it's not. With a population of 12 million, it exists as a highly productive city involved...

And just like that, with less than two weeks notice, I had a plane ticket to China. The main goal was to meet with current First Drop factories and interview new ones, but being my first time in China, sightseeing was also a priority of course. I planned my trip to China with a day layover in...

Today was a good day, I flew an airplane by myself. After completing my stage check successfully with a senior airman, I was approved for solo flight after only about 11 hours of flight time total (average time to solo is 25-35 hours). I felt ready, so I headed up with my flight instructor Luke...

Alex Applegate and I had been long overdue for a ski trip together. With my recent purchase of a new snowmobile, and with Alex buying my old one we were geared up and ready for some sled skiing. I loaded up my sled and drove to Jackson, WY to meet with Al and some friends. We rented a forest...

My love for flight started during infancy. My dad used to swing me around above his head, that's probably what started it all. In middle school I learned how to fly gas powered model airplanes which proved fun, but left me only wanting the real thing. I decided I wanted to be a commercial...

You are looking at a 1981 2-stroke Honda Express SR NX50m moped complete with electric (and kick) start, 12V system, horn, turn signals, auto choke, Honda Vmatic automatic transmission, the works. I found it in Allison's parent's barn in pretty rough shape, having not been running in years...
