There’s a tall smokestack near my house in Boulder that is part of the Boulder Community Hospital’s Mapleton Center. Though it is a bit of an eyesore, happily I’ve never seen smoke coming from it, so I assume it isn’t actually in use. I walked by it the other day and took a few shots with my iPhone that I thought came out well. I particularly like the first one I’ve posted because the thin cloud passing overhead makes it look like there is smoke coming out of it.
Just a random thought: I’ll bet TinyURL has seen a spike in usage since Twitter came along. I’m seeing a ton of tweets with TinyURLs embedded in them. If anyone reading knows anyone associated with TinyURL, feel free to comment on my idle speculation…
Update: well, I just went to the TinyURL site (to make a self-referential TinyURL for this post) and discovered they do 1.4 billion hits a month, so I’m guessing Twitter isn’t yet moving the needle that much.
Just a quick tout for one of my companies: Akustica. Today they announced they’ve shipped their two millionth microphone. It took fifteen months from shipping their very first production microphone to reach the one million mark, and a scant three months to reach the second million. Congrats to Akustica on their very steep (and getting steeper) volume ramp!

One of the benefits of living in an historic neighborhood (no, the anti-property rights Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board is not one of them) is the mature trees that line the streets. I took a quick snapshot this morning of the beautiful autumn colors on the block between 4th and 5th on Pine Street.
