Buffy vs. Edward

jessibird — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:00:00 +0100

Some of my best friends are Twilight fans. I have nothing against them, but I won't bother to read the books or see the movies.

However, I did get a huge kick out of seeing one person's vision of how Buffy the Vampire Slayer would act, if she ran into Edward:

Now tell me if you think Edward is a heartthrob, or what exactly...

The secret life of secrets

When you're five, Pig Latin works.

In your Disney years, you move on - to decoder rings, hobo marks, maybe even html if you're technologically gifted. Few kids, I'd guess, make it to adulthood without learning how to tap S.O.S. in morse code or (if more fantasy-oriented) to read ancient runes.

Garrison Keillor came to town in summer of 2009, and the sponsoring organization (UCSC) had a contest for an Ode to Santa Cruz.

The Sentinel Building in new hands

207Church — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 01:00:00 +0100

In September, a group of three local companies (including us, Cruzio) purchased the Sentinel Building at auction. The building has been empty for years, and it's been a looming, dark presence on Cedar Street in downtown Santa Cruz. We'll upgrade the building and convert it into a modern, green center for communications and community. We'll stay true to the classic 70's architecture, but we'll brighten it up. It's really quite a nice building, under all those crushed ro [...]

Finding Your Level of Fitness

One of the first questions about exercise that people have is how much they should actually do. Is 20-minutes a day, three times a week enough? How about overdoing it? Is a daylong bike ride too much? I wa [...]

Cruzio Now Offering High-Speed Wireless Internet

The Editor — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 01:00:00 +0100

All of us here at Cruzio are excited to announce something we've been working on for quite a while —we've acquired Gatespeed Broadband, a leader in wireless Internet in the Bay Area.

Why'd you do that?
There are a couple of reasons. First, the AT&T fiber cut in early 2009 showed that there needs to be multiple bandwidth connections into Santa Cruz County, and we'd like to run at least one of them. We also recognize that there are businesses and orga [...]

Sorry, Principal Withers

Before I tell you why I chose this photo of Kurdish Jews, I'd like to make a general apology to all (including my mom) for, once again, failing to make it through an entire year with perfect attendance.

Just once, I thought, I'd be able to check-off a full year of goals met (i.e., write 52 blogs in [...]

Cold Water Classic, Steamer Lane, Santa Cruz 2009

Peggy — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 01:00:00 +0100

Around Santa Cruz, the water is cold. But the waves are lively, and people like playing in the them. (Thank goodness local Santa Cruzan, Jack O'Neill, invented the wetsuit.)

Our cold water also got us a great surf contest, the Coldwater Classic. Every year top surfers from around the world show up to challenge our powerful waves and each other.

Here are some photos from the first day of the 2009 Class [...]

The smell of grilled veggies and the sound of Santa Cruzian Cubana rose from the MAH courtyard on Sunday October 25th at Cruzio’s 20th Birthday Bash.
