Hey folks, the sign-up for our @axios.com Boulder newsletter is live. I don't start until the 31st, but you can start signing up now www.axios.com/signup/boulder

So I've got some news: I'm staying put. I've accepted an offer to join @axios.com as a reporter for its new Boulder site and newsletter.

Hold on to your butts

OK, I'll admit it. With the volcano making everything hazy in Kona, I was starting to miss the mountains and blue skies. Of course, that's mostly cause it's warm and sunny. Ask me again on Friday

I brought back sunshine and warm weather Boulder. You're welcome

All good things must come to an end. Even this much needed break back home

The job search continues. Mostly. Sort of. Maybe tomorrow

No Arctic blast here

Well, it's official: I am logging off for the last time as a member of the Daily Camera. I got to meet some amazing people and tell some amazing stories, and for that I will always be grateful.

So, um, due to a misunderstanding between myself and HR, I am now working until Friday. So please delay any news until next week. Then you can feel free to go crazy

Not saying I won't consider it, but the timing is a coincidence. I only heard about this news this week. And while I made the announcement this week, I put in my notice in November and was discussing leaving as early as this summer

So... I've got some news. I am leaving the Daily Camera. My last day will be Dec. 31. There were a lot of factors that went into this decision, and I will probably elaborate down the road. But just know it was not an easy decision.

It's starting to get a wee bit windy in #Boulder

Police now believe excessive drinking - and not fentanyl - is what led to several people getting sick at a #Boulder fraternity over the weekend www.dailycamera.com/2024/12/10/f...

Well, it's official: The Camera is moving out of the Boulder office we've had since the pandemic. We'll be in a shared office space in Longmont starting in December. A far cry from a building on Pearl Street

Look, I want to use this app if people are here. But, it needs to bloody work

Heads up: If you see smoke in south Boulder, there is a prescribed agricultural burn west of South Cherryvale Road and south of South Boulder Road

The 2024 Boulder snowplow fleet, as named by local students, includes: - CTRL-SALT-DELETE - Say it Ain’t Snow! - Mac n’ Freeze - Not Snow Fast - Plowzer - Plower Power - Mochi Plow - Cold Wheels - Snow Ghost - Orange Slush www.dailycamera.com/2024/11/20/c...

To mark my return to this platform: Boulder took down some unofficial and possibly profane signs urging people to put down their f****** phones and pay attention to the d*** road www.dailycamera.com/2024/11/19/c...

Yes, I have heard you. And I will try to start posting more here. Because many agencies and sources are still on the Other One, I'm going to be honest: I'll be monitoring that one closer and posts will probably go there first. But especially in breaking situations, I'm going to try harder here

Officials are investigating a shooting on U.S. 36 near McCaslin Boulevard. We do not have any information on any injuries just yet. Avoid 36 if possible: dailycamera.com/2023/12/24/sho…

Heads up: There is a bear in a tree near the Math and Engineering buildings on the #CUBoulder campus www.dailycamera.com/2023/09/12/b...

Just a heads up #LafayetteCO: Per scanner, a bear has been sighted wandering around the Rock Creek area on the southern end of the city

As always, we shall christen this new app with #HawkinsInHawaii, shown here with his thoughts on how many of these apps I now have him on
