Linsday, a friend from UCSD, surprised me by living in Boulder. I only learned this shortly before arriving. She is a massage therapist at a spa and lined us up some side-by-side pedicures for our catch-up session. *

It was my first true pedicure. *

Seren works with the computer network at the University of Colorado. I enjoyed these maps of their system... *

There are so many maps one could make of a city! *

Seren tells off a helpless computer user. Just kidding. I've never seen his get angry at anything. OR ever lift his voice above its near-inaudible hum. *

And then he gave me a tour of the main server room. Fun bunches of cables here. *

Just after I took this photo the whole system crashed and alarms when off. The facility went into lockdown... *

...but with my deft hacking into the cooling system controls... *

Seren located a passage for our escape. *

I then visited Jenna, who studies at Naropa University. *

In the basement of Naropa's admin building are five "maitri rooms". *
