• Geek in the Galley: Fat, lazy bastard edition

  I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry. On November 16, the good people at TiVo announced what has to be one of the signs of the foodie apocalypse: that through a partnership deal with Domino's, customers would now be able to order pizzas through their TV. Why?  Because getting up off the couch and finding the phone was just too much goddamn work. Because leaning over to switch on the laptop seemed too much like exercise to your average Domino's consumer. Because thousands of years of technol

• Cheap tacos -- if the Nuggets win big

  Last year, Adam Cayton-Holland checked out Taco Bell's deal offering four tacos for a buck from 4-6 p.m. the day after the Colorado Rockies scored seven runs. By carefully mapping out his course, he managed to secure 28 tacos -- and a severe case of heartburn. Now Taco Bell is advertising another deal: If the Nuggets score 103 points in a game, you can get three tacos for a buck. But only from 3-5 p.m. the day after that game, and only if you buy a drink. Is this really a deal? See what Cay

• Help Christmas light-smashing Hulk win a year of KFC

  Update: As an eagle-eyed blog commentor pointed out, the voting for the KFC contest ended yesterday and the winner has already been announced. Turns out we were so awed by the Hulk's majestic green majesty we just plain screwed up. The good news is that our man Komarnitsky won the contest anyway, so here's to a year's supply of chicken wings for the big green guy. Loyal readers will know we have a fondness for local man Alek Komarnitsky and his ginormous inflatable Hulk doll, not to mention hi

  A Flickr photo. This week, the Denver-based Hep C Connection will do all it can -- legally -- to get dirty needles off the streets. Beginning today, the organization is hosting its first-ever Drop To Stop week, where anyone can anonymously drop off used syringes at eight separate locations around Denver and in Aurora, Grand Junction and Fort Collins. The dirty needles will be disposed of properly, ensuring they don't end up in a dumpster or park. Getting rid of dirty needles, which can be tain

• Swift beef recall: Beware of tainted "Butt Ball Tip"

  Yesterday, Greeley's own JBS Swift Beef Co. recalled over 41,000 pounds of meat contaminated with O157:H7 E.coli bacteria, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service. The stuff went out on April 21 to enterprises in Colorado and a dozen other states ranging from California to Florida, so there's no telling how much of it's already gone into the gullets of unwitting carnivores -- but for what it's worth, the Ag department folks have provided a list of i

  Kristen Parker shows off the girls in a photo from her now-offline MySpace page. As noted in a blog yesterday, operating-room tech/accused hepatitis-C passer Kristen Parker's public comments about the possible infection of patients at two different Colorado medical facilities were limited to quotes in the criminal complaint against her: The most vivid line was, "I know, I fucked up." Now, Channel 4 has obtained a lengthy recording of her police confession, and in it, she proves to be every bit

• Wake-Up Call: Senator Bennet rolls up his sleeves

  ​Business boosters at the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce didn't know what had hit them. On Friday, when Senator Mark Udall offered a healthcare briefing at the Chamber, there hadn't been a single member of the media. But on Monday, when Senator Michael Bennet did the same, the TV cameras were rolling from the moment Bennet got out of his car. What a difference a weekend makes. On Saturday, news had leaked that Bennet, appointed to fill Ken Salazar's seat back in January, might face a ch

Just confronting the fact that you've been injected with a potentially deadly virus is the shock of a lifetime; at the same time, many of the patients are learning quickly that

Believed to be the first of its kind in Major League Baseball, the operation offers dogs, burgers, chicken sandwiches and a variety of munchies all without gluten,

• This Just In: Billy Joel and Elton John show rescheduled

  ​Billy Joel and Elton John's Face 2 Face show originally scheduled for Sunday, November 22 at the Pepsi Center has been pushed back to February 22. Any tickets purchased for this Sunday's show will be valid for the rescheduled date, and refunds are available at point of purchase. The two have have had to postpone recent gigs due to concerns over John's health -- who was suffering from an e-coli infection and influenza -- and, more recently, Joel's health.
