Exploring Green Line

We decided to take the new MetroTransit Green Line from downtown Minneapolis to the end-of-the-line in St. Paul this weekend.

Young girl in a yellow shirt sitting on a Metro Transit light rail train seat, smiling and glancing sideways. Outdoor farmers market stall with bunches of Swiss chard, basil, and radishes on a table; shoppers browse in the background. Two children standing on a MetroTransit Green Line platform next to a blue and yellow light rail train in St. Paul. Girl in yellow shirt laughing at an outdoor farmers market while a toddler in gray shirt stands nearby watching vendors sell produce. Wall mural with math formulas etched in brown concrete and two white geometric string-art rosette sculptures mounted on it.

2014 TdF Begun

Enjoying stage 2 with my viewing station all setup. Mini Jambox is critical addition.

(I wish I could watch the World Cup this easily without a cable subscription!)

Tablet propped on a kitchen counter streaming a cycling race peloton, with a teal Jawbone Mini Jambox speaker balanced on top and charging cables nearby.

Eyeing SaltStack to keep my Linode machines humming.

Soccer will be a little less exciting now with USA out of the World Cup but still looking forward to matches. ⚽️

Tour de France starts this weekend! 🚴

Silly Faces.

Ice Cream Riot in Denver

20140624-192421-69861387.jpg

When we are on vacation we tend to enjoy an afternoon ice cream stop and this afternoon we had the delight of experiencing Ice Cream Riot in Denver’s Northeast neighborhood. This shop is relatively new and the guy that owns it works the counter, makes all of the ice cream and experiments with a lot of interesting flavors.

We had Andes Mint, English Toffee and Fruit Loops ice cream! Given another visit I’d be trying the a milkshake!

The ice cream is ridiculously good. Super creamy, smooth, tasty. I think you could put pretty much anything in it and it would taste amazing. Asparagus Ice Cream anyone? I think it would probably be delicious if you started with the base ice cream he is using.

The shop has a great vibe. It feels like any craft coffee shop you might visit. Relaxed, sparse, clean, simple. All good stuff.

If your in Denver and are not lactose intolerant, get yourself here! I liked this place so much I actually posted a review on Yelp!
